""Monopole: Any speaker that encloses the backwave of the speaker device even though part of this backwave may be released via. a port or duct. The primary radiation at most frequencies will be from the driver front. If the driver is not enclosed it becomes a dipole." --AudioLinkServices. That too, is my definition as the term relates to loudspeaker systems. What one do you and "everyone else" use? > Well, it's certainly true that room effects make this more complicated. > My point was merely that since dipole power falls off more repidly with > distance, that might be the reason dipole speakers are less sensitive > to the room. I don't know that they are less sensitive to the room. They just interact with it differently than bipoles or monopoles or omni-directional designs. And I maintain that, in-room, the dipole system will not roll off faster than a monopole, but quite the opposite. -- jdm56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdm56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38593 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
