When is my loudspeaker supported by CARA? CARA offers all loudspeaker manufacturers worldwide to join the 'Project CARA'. The integration of a specific loudspeaker into the Cara loudspeaker database depends only on manufacturer's decision. We offer a free of charge service to all manufacturers for creating their CARA loudspeaker models and including them into the CARA loudspeaker database!
Please ask your loudspeaker manufacturer when your loudspeakers will be supported by CARA.
Alternatively, you may choose a similar loudspeaker model from the 'Generic Loudspeakers' contained in CARA. The calculation results with a generic loudspeaker model are less accurate than using a original loudspeaker model.
Additionally, CARA (from Rel. 1.1) includes a Loudspeaker Editor which enables you to customize your loudspeakers.
