      abstract = {This book is a study of the workings of dynamic  loudspeakers and dynamically forced vibration. With its  wealth of practical observations and real-life examples,  this work will prove invaluable to the practicing motor  design or loudspeaker design engineer, as well as  researchers and students in electroacoustics. The book is  based on a lifetimes accumulated knowledge by acclaimed  speaker designer William H. (Bill) Watkins. It differs from  the usual tone of most technical books on this subject by  initially presenting, and analyzing in full, the function  of each key parameter of a reference dynamic loudspeaker.  Each parameters value is then calculated and also confirmed  via lab measurements to vividly illustrate all  energy-transduction facets of loudspeaker operation and the  forced vibration. This presentation style makes the  analysis both more engaging, intuitive, and easier to  comprehend compared to most previous works in the field.  The principles of this book apply to all direct  reciprocating motors, not just those in a dynamic  loudspeaker. Unique to the book is an entire chapter  dedicated to the discussion of back-EMF voltage, discussed  from several technical points of view and analyzed in depth  as related to the dynamic transfer of energy between the  mechanical and electrical domains. Another unique feature  is a detailed discussion of Watkins patented dual-motor  concept to achieve high dynamic speaker performance in the  region of its low-frequency resonance.},
