Re: Mono "flanking sub"
Physical position of midrange and tweeter drivers is sometimes offset to get the summing right. It's kind of similar, except in this case, the goal is to match the phase of each subsystem. In multisub setups - both flanking and distributed - we're ac...

Re: Best bass sound
For the best sound indoors, use a multisub setup. For the best sound outdoors, use basshorns.

Re: 4Pi without subwoofer
Multiple subs - both flanking subs and distributed subs - improve sound quality for any loudspeaker setup. The multisub approach smoothes room modes. See the "Room Effects and Loudspeaker Interactions" section of the π Speakers FAQ for more i...

The most optimal placement for a single sub
Hey Wayne! How are you liking Arkansas? I'm still planning on getting a stereo pair of 4 Pi speakers, plus a pair of 2 pi speakers. I'm torn about what to do about bass. I like the multisub idea in theory, but it would be nice to have one mega ...

Re: How to improve?
I agree with the comments already provided. Constant directivity cornerhorns benefit from multisub installations just as much as any other loudspeaker configuration. There is some debate as to what individual loudspeaker configurations are least sensit...

Re: Two 3 pi subs to replace my horn?
You've got mail! Hornsubs are about 10dB louder than most direct radiating subs, sometimes even more. So it takes more power to get the same SPL, and even then, you really need more of them to prevent overtaxing them. On the other hand, hornsubs h...

Re: 4 PI by Andy
Those speakers look fantastic! But - yeah - I know what you mean about the size of those big-box 10ft3 monster subs. They start getting intrusive when you consider using them in multiples. That's why I designed a smaller cabinet when I started doing...

Re: Pre/pros in THX small in number big in price
I personally could care less about "certification" from THX, because I don't find it relevant. I'm looking for a whole lot more where quality is concerned than what they require for certification. For example, even their highest certification...

Re: Pi Cornerhorn Aesthetics
I retired them when I started doing the multisub thing. No more need to get the bass pumped out of a pair of massive radiators; Better to have two smaller 15" bass bins on the front corners and a pair of deeper bass units in the rear corners. I...

Re: flanking subs with small mains
A long time ago, back when I had black light posters all over my walls, I used to run my oscilloscope with its two channels connected to the right and left channels of my stereo. I'd setup to make Lissajous patterns like a little laser light show. One ...
