Quasar positioning (BD-Design)

Hi Kennith,

To my knowledge, standing waves etc. occur most of the time on the lower
frequencies. The FE-206 rises in volume after approx. 1.2 Khz. Or is this
compensated per EQ? Or do the BD-15 support below 1.2 kHz?

Standing waves and reflections have their influence up to 1kHz, the lower the frequency the more disturbing they can get.

Off-axis (approximately 10 degrees) the FE206E is "flat" from 350Hz up to 15kHz when used in the Quasar, the bass fills in the rest.

The response on-axis can be EQ-ed if you have a reflective room (limited furniture). With a "full" room I would not EQ the driver but prefer to listen to it off-axis. The Quasar as standard comes without EQ.

I've heard that the baffle width also has a possitive effect on the lower freq. response of a full range speaker (positive use of the baffle step(?)

Any driver has a positive effect from a wider baffle but not everybody wants to look at a wide panel. The smaller the baffle the more EQ (or higher Q) the driver needs.

Ciao,

Bert
