[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 115448, member: 30"] Re: tall skinny speakers There is a lot going on inside the cabinet that is very different than other designs. For 1 in each paraline lens the entire freq response comes out of the lens. Not the highs out of the lens and the lower freq from somewhere else. So the lens has an effect on the actual full freq response-not just the highs. Also with the different size lens-the "timing" is different-creating a curved wave front-not a flat front as other designs. Hence the reason it is intended as a "stand alone' system. The timing issues only become a real problem when the levels from the different drivers are close to equal. Because the individual lens provide pattern control-the level in the adjacent band is greatly reduced-as if there were stacked drivers. There is a lot more work that needs to go into the understanding of exactly what is going on. I can only speak for the demos that I have done and the people that are amazed by it. So a lot of questions don't have a 'real answer" yet-or one that is easily explained. i would love to have more time to play-but I have lots of real work to do. So play time comes in spurts. Due to the fact that it acts more as a horn, the actual placement (mounting height and angle) will depend on the intended coverage area. In general you will mount the SBH10 higher than a normal "column" type speaker. We are still working on details and such. [/QUOTE]
