Abstract:
Coaxial transducers have been a part of the audio world since the invention of the two way loudspeaker. They offer a unique performance envelope and compact design that even today present significant advantages over other designs. Variants such as tri-axial, coincident, co-entrant, and others have brought even more advancements to the approach. Over the past few years there has been a resurgence of coaxial products and there have never been more choices available to customers. In this session the presenters will cover the history, the present state, and the future direction. In addition the presenters will discuss the physics behind the approach and why it is a compelling solution to developing great loudspeaker systems.
