Martin J King Mathcad Worksheets

The Martin J. King Mathcad Worksheets are the gold standard for high-level DIY loudspeaker design, specifically for those exploring transmission lines (TL) and quarter-wave resonators. Developed by engineer Martin J. King, these tools moved speaker design beyond simple "cookbook" formulas into precise, physics-based simulations.

Perhaps more importantly, King’s work demystified the transmission line. Before his worksheets were widely available, TL speakers were considered martin j king mathcad worksheets

King’s worksheets were revolutionary because they modeled higher-order modes. The Martin J

Key Strengths

1. Unmatched accuracy for TLs – predicts impedance, SPL, cone displacement, and velocity/pressure profiles along the line.
2. Flexible geometry – straight, tapered, expanding, contracting, with or without mass-loading (a port at the end).
3. Material modeling – accounts for fiber stuffing density, location, and type.
4. Driver parameter sensitivity – shows how Qts, Fs, Vas affect the line response.
5. Low cost – free for personal use (though you need Mathcad or the free Mathcad Prime 30-day trial, or the legacy Mathcad Explorer – tricky to find now).

For those determined to try, search for the “MJK worksheets” archive on the Internet Archive or diyAudio threads – and expect to spend a weekend reading the accompanying PDFs before simulating your first line. Unmatched accuracy for TLs – predicts impedance, SPL,
