Conversely, if the driver is made large enough to reproduce bass well, it suffers from poor midrange performance.

If this driver is made small enough to have upper midrange reproduction free from resonances, colorations and narrow dispersion, it suffers from inadequate size to move the volume of air needed for good deep bass reproduction. Two-way speaker systems have a major inherent limitation due to the fact that one driver is used to reproduce both the bass and the midrange part of the spectrum. The technical requirements result in the following major technical design goals: Very low energy storage to provide clarity of musical detail.Phase coherence to provide realistic reproduction of attack transients.Time response accuracy to preserve natural spatial cues.

Absence of resonances in the drivers or cabinet so as not to introduce tonal colorations.Accurate frequency response so as to not over or under emphasize any portion of the sound spectrum.Although there are also many minor design considerations, the following are what we believe to be the major technical requirements that contribute to each of the musical goals. The task of engineering a speaker system requires the translation of the musical performance goals into technical goals. None of these problems is a fundamental limit and all can be minimized or eliminated by thorough and innovative engineering, allowing the possibility of a speaker system without significant fundamental limitations. Also, they share with other types of speakers the potential problems of time and phase errors introduced by multiple drivers and their crossovers. The major potential disadvantages of dynamic speakers are diaphragm resonances (“cone break-up”), cabinet resonances and cabine t diffraction. This alignment avoids the problem of line source designs which must place their different drivers side-by-side, causing the distances from each driver to the listener to change with different listener positions. Another advantage of dynamic drivers is that their small size allows the multiple drivers to be arranged in one vertical line. Dynamic drivers have the advantages of providing a point source radiation pattern with good dispersion of sound over a wide area, great dynamic capability, good bass capability and a lack of rearward out-of-phase energy. To meet these requirements all THIEL speakers employ dynamic drivers. These properties include wide area radiation and the absence of out-of-phase energy. In our opinion, natural spatial reproduction requires creating a realistic sound field within the listening room by mimicking the properties of natural sound sources. Transient fidelity includes how clearly musically subtle low–level information is reproduced and how convincingly realistic is the reproduction of the initial or ‘attack’ portions of sounds.ĭynamic fidelity includes how well the speaker maintains the contrasts between loud and soft and how unstrained and effortless is the reproduction of loud passages. Laterally beyond the speakers, how realistic the depth perspective is, how little the speakers’ positions seem to be the source of the sound, and how large the listening area is. Spatial fidelity includes how wide and deep the performing space seems, how convincingly instruments are placed from the center to Tonal fidelity includes overall octave-to-octave balance, the fidelity of timbres, absence of vowel-like colorations, and bass extension. We believe musical performance can be described, with not much oversimplification, as performance in four areas. Since quality of musical performance is a very complex issue it is helpful to objectively identify the aspects involved. We believe this approach is the only way to provide the potential of experiencing all the subtle aspects that help make reproduced music a most enjoyable human experience. They are not intended to mask or mitigate shortcomings of the recording or other components in the music playback system. All our efforts have been directed toward achieving extremely faithful translation of all tonal, spatial and dynamic information supplied by the amplifier. All THIEL speakers are designed to be precision instruments that very accurately translate electronic information into musical sound.
