Is speaker placement critical with Onsia?
Onsia offers a number of benefits to the listener beyond the absolute stealth of the design. One of the key features is the ability to provide consistent sound pressure levels over a wide listening area. Conventional loudspeakers produce a very directional sound. Typically the dispersion varies greatly according to the frequency being produced, with low frequency waves dispersing well, but above 5 kHz, the sound becomes very directional. As a result, with conventional loudspeakers, you need your ears directly in line with the drive units in order to be able to hear the full frequency spectrum. In conventional systems with more than one speaker, directional midrange and high frequencies react with each other to create interference patterns of sound pressure, so when moving through a room, you notice that sounds get louder and quieter with very little consistency, even in the listening “sweet spot.” With Onsia, these problems simply disappear. Because the sound is being produced by longi
