Who actually uses digital speakers?

The ideal width for our 120Hz line array is about 39”. In theory a flat 39” baffle will support our line array down to about 120Hz without baffle step or cancellation. That creates other problems along with being too wide for most home system. So we folded the baffle into an asymmetrical “U” shape. The inside of the back side is shaped to minimize cavity resonances. There a bit more to it but that’s the basics.

Hi Mike / @arion ,

I’m familiar enough with dipoles to understand the convenience of the U shape. I’m just dreadfully curious if you ever had flat prototypes and if so if you felt they were worth the excess floor space.

I’m asking in large part due to the very positive experience I’ve had listening to the SF Stradivari Homage and some gomments Troels Gravesen has made about how they seem to ignore the room they are in and impose the acoustics of the recordings.

Best,

Erik

Do Vanatoo’s count?   I think they do.  I have Vanatoo Transparent One Encores.  They are the bees knees on my wife’s sunroom.  Perfect in there.  Chalk one up!

Hi Erik,

Our baffle design accomplishes what we want and with DSP/Room correction wider  isn’t worth the extra floor space. A line array without DSP/Room correction, like the Infinity, is designed differently than our Apollos and can benefit from a wide baffle. There are pros and cons. Once again, the room becomes part of the equation.

@mapman  - Yes, are you using the digital inputs?

wider  isn’t worth the extra floor space.

@arion 

That's what I was wondering. :)  Thank you.
