Dispersion Interactions 11
The concave electrostatic panel launches a 30 degree
dispersion pattern when viewed from above. The sound
waves focus in front of the speaker and diverge much
like a lens would cause light to focus and diverge. This
horizontal dispersion field operates in the same manner
as our traditional curvilinear line source (CLS) technology,
giving you a choice of good seats for the performance
while minimizing interaction with side walls (see figure 16).
As you can see from the illustrations, your Cinema i speaker
projects a controlled dispersion pattern (see figure 17). This
vertical dispersion profile minimizes interactions with the
floor and the ceiling.
