![]() If an instantaneous impulse (snap) is applied to the driver, the front and the rear planes of it will emit sound pressure outwards, out-of-phase. Suppose a driver is mounted in the center of a disk. ![]() The physics of dipoles (and open baffles, for that matter) can be explained in terms of diffraction and interference. This terminology and the design are going to be explained in details in the rest of this document.Īn Open Baffle speaker is a variant of dipole enclosure type, where the front facing and the rear facing sides of a driver are acoustically connected to the listener. ![]() Elements of arrays are small full-range drivers mounted on sectioned wooden baffles with open baffle wings pointing away from the listener at ~ 20.40 degrees, much like the mouth a rear-facing horn speaker. The result is a system which to my ears has a distinct quality of making music enjoyable.Įach speaker can be described as a near-field, vertical, tall, concave line array dipole. The design was iterative, with lots of prototyping and concepts tested and changed sometimes on a daily basis. These speakers were designed for low-power singe-ended triode (SET) amplifiers. ![]() Open Baffle Line Array Speakers Open Baffle Line Array SpeakersĪuthor: Dmitry Nizhegorodov My other projects and articles
