Peter P. Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 ...like that on the Forte or Chorus II. If your speakers are parallel to the wall, the radiator is directing the wave straight into the wall. Wouldn't it just reflect back into the passive radiator and reduce the output or at least produce some cancellation? Seems like rear passive radiators would work best if they had a deflector placed in front of the driver much like the Klipschorn or LaScala, or if the speakers were angled relative to the wall. But unless you're speakers are placed in corners, most people don't angle their speakers against the wall for bass but for other reasons. Now that I think about it, I would imagine the same holds true for ported speakers as well. What's your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebse2a3 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I believe your thinking of the sound from the passive radiator/port as directional but at the frequencies the passive radiator/port are producing the wavelengths are so large that the polars are effectively omnidirectional. miketn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
