Every now and then I find some extravagant use of drivers and I feel the need to share. I'm not talking about users with 4 way or 5 way systems, or line arrays at all. I mean makers who should have been arrested for not stopping when they should have. Take this beautiful, and yet so wrong example from a Japanese web site!
With all those sectional units he/she didn't even bother to time align them! Ugh! I want to break into their home and "fix" it.
I know some are wondering "Why isn't Erik posting a pic of the Beolab 90?" Well, I've decided I was just being a bully and that I need to encourage the nice people at B&O to seek professional help instead of mocking them at every opportunity. Also, I just ordered a trio of their ICEpower amps for my home theater, so it seems hypocritical somehow.

very cool looking in a Crack dazed kind of way
I know, right? I like the plastic/wood thing he's got going on. It would go really well with my cheese boards.

Looks like if you grabbed one and twisted, they would all twist. Pointless, I know.![]()
ooooh, now I MUST Build one! If I could make giant wooden gears, and make the current flow without worry of wires twisting.......
Maybe I could have it shake back and forth to the music?

And each is mounted on the end of a cylindrical baffle - the worst 10dB dip/peak diffraction possible.
That explains why he needs so many, to make sure to keep that out of the operating orange of the driver?
Hah.
Still, just imagine if we could buy our drivers like that and just drop them down on top of each other. Bam!
Best,

Not multi-way.

I can't read japanese but do you think the designer was going for a quasi-coaxial layout? Hence the 3 identical midwoofers surrounding the tweeter?
Maybe! I wonder if that would work. Like having a single tweeter in the middle of six woofers? might be interesting to look at if nothing else.

I see 3 different drivers surrounding the tweeter, no?the 3 identical midwoofers surrounding the tweeter?
I see 3 different drivers surrounding the tweeter, no?
See, that's what I was wondering too!
I wasn't sure if it was a trick of the light or not.
