- LinearX Systems ~ Creators of LEAP and LMS. Some of
the best software money can buy. Analyzes all of your drivers
characteristics. LEAP offers advanced transducer enclosure
simulations from sealed to passive radiator and everything in
between. Port standing wave resonance modeling.
Large signal analysis of voice coil temperature and non-linear BL,
port and compliance characteristics. Passive and active
crossover analyzers for single speakers and complete systems.
LMS offers true SPL response, impedance curves, nyquist real and
imaginary, polar SPL response, network transfer functions,
inductance and capacitance curves and impulse step response
modeling. Though I am not personally familiar with this
software/hardware, you can read all about what both of these
programs have to offer at their website. $1195.00 - $1295.00
