[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 114316, member: 30"] Re: tall skinny speakers No loudspeaker has the same pattern throughout its full operating band-and some wiggle a bit (some a lot) in the middle of the band. In the perfect world the rated pattern would extend to around the highest freq of interest and maintain that down to the point at which it starts to go omni. If it is "Christmas treeing" or varying a lot, it is very hard to predict coverage and the sound will have a different freq response at different seats. In the case the SBH10 (more data to come) it has around a 10 vertical pattern down to around 800Hz or a bit lower-I don't have the data in front of me- and then it starts to go omni. This is exactly why measured data is important-especially polar patterns or directional graphs. Without it-there is no way of knowing what is going on-and on axis does little to tell the story in a typical install. [/QUOTE]
