INDUSTRY COMMENTARY

Ribbon Loudspeakers by Newform Research.

Wondering where loudspeaker design is going? The following is a quote from a Newsletter (Volume 6, Issue 1, Spring 1999) from ALMA - the American Loudspeaker Manufacturers Association.

"There is increasing concencus in the loudspeaker industry that ideal loudspeaker performance includes flat amplitude response on axis and across the horizontal plane, combined with tightly controlled vertical high frequency amplitude response. Such performance permits structurally accurate early reflections in conventional playback rooms, which in turn enhances both the perceived timbres of reproduced sounds and also the phantom images and perceived reverberance and spaciousness in recordings. Constrained vertical dispersion reduces high and mid-frequency interference effects that arise from early floor and ceiling and console reflections, which have been found to destabilize imaging and degrade timbres."

-- No loudspeakers on the planet have narrower vertical dispersion and more even and broader horizontal dispersion than Newform Research Ribbon speakers.
