Design your perfect speaker box — skip the math and jump straight to building. Speaker Box Lite calculates subwoofer and speaker enclosures for you: sealed, ported (bass-reflex), 4th & 6th order bandpass, passive radiator, and transmission line. Get optimal volume and tuning recommendations, then see your box in full 3D with auto-generated blueprints and cut sheets. BUILT-IN SPEAKER DATABASE Search 5,000+ drivers from 300+ brands — Thiele-Small parameters load with one tap. Can't find yours? Add it manually in seconds. DESIGN IN 3D Place speakers and ports, add braces and dados, choose materials — and watch your enclosure come together. Design custom waveguides for tweeters and ports — conical, elliptical, hyperbolic and radial horn profiles included. SIMULATE BEFORE YOU BUILD Frequency response, phase, group delay, cone excursion and SPL plots. Compare enclosure variants side by side and pick the one that sounds right — before you cut a single board. COMPLETE SYSTEMS Multi-way boxes with subs, mids and tweeters. Full crossover designer: low-pass and high-pass filters (Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley and more), series and parallel notch, Zobel, RC and RL contour networks, plus L-Pad attenuation. EXPORT & BUILD Export cut sheets and blueprints for every panel. 3D-print custom ports and waveguides via STL, or export the whole enclosure and its parts as STL. Send parts to CNC in STEP format for precision cutting. YOUR PROJECTS EVERYWHERE Free account keeps projects in the cloud — start on your phone, continue on the web at speakerboxlite.com.

The Harmony DSP App allows you to setup and tune your system with your smart phone or tablet. In the main screen you will find the Input Source menu where you can choose BT, HI-LEV, USB and AUX. Here you also find 6 Presets (saved into your device) to choose from, you access the Music Player, you have the Main and Subwoofer Volume, and the Advanced menu with Channels, EQ, System and Mixing. From the Channel Page, you can assign the function of each speaker, check the Phase for polarity, adjust the individual Channel Gains and set Delay in milliseconds or centimeters, for a rock solid and accurate front stage. The EQ page holds the heart and the brains of the App. You can use either the Graphic or the Paragraphic EQ’s. You can customize the crossovers to fit the needs of your individual system. You have adjustments for Gain, frequency, and Q factor. You can work on channels individually or you can link them. With the MIX function you can manually determine which inputs (USB-L/R, Digital-L/R, BT-L/R) will be used for each output (processing channel) and how much of each input the output will receive. The new Music Player function lets you have full control of all your favorite songs, inside the App. Be sure to connect a proper USB device containing audio files in the supported format. From the App it is possible to access the folders and the contained audio files.
