  Understanding Audio FIR Filtering

A comprehensive guide to fundamental FIR filter concepts & applications in loudspeakers.
  Loudspeaker Matching with FIR Filters

This step-by-step guide explains how to use FIR Designer to match the magnitude & phase responses of different makes & models of loudspeakers in a single installation.
  Designing FIR Filters with Crossovers for a 2-way loudspeaker (using FIR Designer 1)*

The resulting FIR filters in this tutorial include the crossover responses and linearise the loudspeaker phase everywhere except at the loudspeaker’s low frequency roll-off. Sample measurements provided are taken from a 5″ coaxial loudspeaker. READ MORE
  FIR Filter Design for Loudspeaker Equalization (using FIR Designer 1)*

This tutorial describes how to adjust the magnitude & phase of a full range loudspeaker, using a FIR filter. Sample measurements provided are taken from a 12″ + horn install loudspeaker. READ MORE
