[QUOTE="Robert Burns, post: 22606, member: 76"] Re: Coaxial Wedge Collaboration Considerations: At the onset Ron indicated that subject to discussion were criteria including: System Configuration ie: Bi-amp-able/Passive/Both, Polar Response From a design perspective: Don't many of these criteria have to determined perhaps quantified? My take is utilizing a passive crossover will define/place limitations/considerations in design; Driver selection vs a bi-amp design which allows lower xover points and signal manipulation. Active expands the driver selection options not viable for passive. RE: Polar response - Some here are familiar with the approach taken with the BF monitors - Wide dispersion with a non-linear response intended to "pop" the vocals through the mix. Basically non-flat. It appears that consensus here is for a flat ( neutral? ) FR, But what about wide off-axis? Practically speaking what impact does it have on the stage level or in bleed into adjacent mics? A pitfall ( I see ) is attempting to make a multi-use monitor and having severe compromise for flexibility. Swiss Army Knifes are handy ( been using them for decades ), but they are not a replacement for a dedicated Knife, or screwdriver or etc. I tend to be a form follows function advocate and wonder if it would be better to define performance and other criteria and optimize to that.
