Convention Paper

The Intrinsic Scalability of the Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML)

Authors: Bank, Graham

AES Convention 104 · Paper 4742 · May 1998

Abstract

A Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) operates by introducing bending waves into a panel, which has specified mechanical properties. Although the dimensions of the panel will affect the bandwidth, the sound radiated from such a panel will be diffuse in nature, and the directional characteristics should be substantially independent of its size. Both the theoretical justifications as well as some practical comparisons are given.
