Delving into foundational ideas behind driver and cabinet designs of loudspeakers for sound reinforcement applications.
Reducing low-end accumulation issues in the room while bringing added clarity to the mix…
Baffles, bass reflex, optimal venting, horn design, flare rates, directivity and other key aspects.
“To tilt or not to tilt? And if so, how much?” Gaining insights by focusing on the very critical crossover frequency area between the subs and the low-end of the main PA.
