Peter Larsen is a proven, experienced expert in high quality sound who has been working in the loudspeaker industry since 1974. He started his career with SEAS, was Chief Engineer for Vifa 1979-1987 and for Dynaudio 1987-1990. Until 1993 he worked with JBL in USA.
From 1993 Peter Larsen has worked as an independent consultant for leading loudspeaker factories all over the world: Audax in France, KEF Audio in UK, Goldmax in China, Vifa-Speak in Denmark, Peerless Fabrikkerne of India, NXT in UK, Microlab in China, Apple in USA and many others.
During the period as an independent consultant Peter Larsen has specialized in in-depth analysis of loudspeakers and manufacturing techniques. His research has covered new components and materials, advanced Acoustic Finite Element modelling, new measuring methods, novel speaker design concepts and the development of customized products (private label).
FINEMotor
Based on his experience in designing loudspeaker drivers over the years he developed a program to help him design magnet systems and voice coils much easier and quicker. In order to develop a user friendly program Peter asked Bob Harris, a former Chief engineer at KEF UK, to help him mprove the program and to convert it into a Windows based program. Eventually, producers of loudspeaker drivers learned about the program and wanted to buy it.
This program is today called FINEMotor and is continuously being developed to meet the demands of the high quality sound industry.
FINECone
In 1995 Peter Larsen attended a seminar with Dr. Henrik Vollesen, who had finished his Ph.D at Bang and Olufsen. They discussed his analysis of the mechanical and acoustical properties of a loudspeaker unit with controlled directivity. Peter Larsen realized the potential of using Henrik Vollesen´s ideas in the design of cones, if the ideas were developed into a full program.
Henrik Vollesen was an experienced programmer and Peter Larsen had the practical experience designing drivers. Together, they created a user friendly program to help design cones, domes, surrounds, dustcaps etc. as well as optimizing the driver. The program also turned out to be a very useful trouble shooter tool.
This program, FINECone, helps speaker designers all over the world to design better, less expensive and more accurate acoustic designs in a shorter time than ever seen before.
FINEBox
Over the years several customers asked Peter Larsen to create an intuitive and easy-to-use program to help them design loudspeaker boxes. Peter Larsen and Bob Harris developed the program with help from some of the world-leading designers of loudspeaker systems.
The goal was to develop a flexible and intuitive program with features based on practical design work.The designers wanted a real high power non-linear enclosure program which avoids extensive manual input and is able to simulate advanced designs in a simple way.
Peter and Bob were able to make a program which is intuitive and user friendly to the system designer. This program is called FINEBox. FINEBox is based on practical design work and gives you a very quick overview of the possible system design options, and is the the preferred tool for daily system high quallty sound design work.
