Coda II
getting there slowly
Hearing some Quads recently got my wondering whether I was thinking about them the wrong way. As a dipole, sound goes out the back as well as the front and generally I see this written about in terms of having them far enough out so that the reflections don’t lead to cancellation, or if this isn’t possible to get absorption in behind them.
But there was a comment in a thread recently along the lines of getting them to work with the room; that the reflections from the back should be viewed as a positive thing possibly. And this is where the omni bit comes in, where a speaker is intended to include the room by bouncing sound in all directions.
If this is the case then is diffusion or at least a broken up surface behind Quads a better way to go?
