Uniform Directivity - How important is it?
… That's why I often refer to speakers with uniform directivity rather than constant directivity. It is more important to me that the power response be uniform than it is for directivity to be constant. They are similar, but not exactly the same. To…

Uniform directivity
… net effect is that the reverberent field is uniform.But if you're used to the sound of a typical direct radiator that falls off off-axis, then having a uniform reverberent field can sound fuller. There is definitely a difference. It's unnatural to me …

Baffle Step
…than acoustic power. When designing uniform-directivity loudspeakers, one should avoid the temptation to optimize on-axis response using electrical filters to modify what is entirely an acoustic matter, because this tends to only improve the amplitude…

Woofer size for uniform directivity loudspeakers
…in. The main objective is to provide a uniform reverberent field, one with good spectral balance. Probably the most annoying abberation is the one that's most common, where there's too much midrange energy in the room. This is caused by having too wide…

Re: Woofer directivity
…where they'll be close enough to give very uniform polar response.It is also important when selecting the crossover point to consider the null angle in the vertical plane. I like to set it just outside the vertical angle of the HF horn at high …

π Constant Directivity Cornerhorn: Bass Bin Design Details
…to its midhorn, actually, both providing uniform 90° horizontal beamwidth. It would remain constant down to very low frequency if it weren't for room modes. But in large enough rooms, modes don't come into play until the lowest frequencies. It's a …

Re: Learned some more audio truth outdoors
…determines the reverberent field. Uniform directivity along with uniform response makes a uniformly charged reverberent field. If directivity fluxuates up and down, then the reverberent field won't be uniform even if on-axis response is good.Uniform …

Pi horn design philosophies
…design.The cornerhorn quickly evolved into a uniform directivity experiment. I noticed right away that the Pi cornerhorn did something special, even when loaded with only direct radiators. I built them in several varieties, always with a rear-facing …

Re: Help me make the leap
…- it will sound nice and give a good, uniform pattern. The thing is, getting back to the point source, the use of a controlled directivity tweeter, and matching to the midwoofer or midwoofers, I think the whole point of using a CD horn / waveguide is …
