Finally, a spec sheet that actually shows a very common loudspeaker problem: When the listener is even a bit off-axis below the box, the midrange does to hell. (I've tried MP412s and U15s in the theater, and both suffered from the problem. I did not get the chance to try them upside down, but my experience with mini studio monitors suggests that they will indeed work better when topsy-turvy.) |

When you mention U15's, are you referring to the Yorkville U15? I'm quite surprised that you would see similar lobing with them as the crossover point between the horn and the woof is 300 hz. Can you elaborate? drew gandy |

I'm rather poor at "calling frequencies", but I think the suck-out in the U15s is a bit lower than the one pictured, but perhaps not as low as the XO frequency would tend to indicate. However it's been quite a long while, so I'm a bit foggy on the details. My main recollection is that while the highs were surprisingly good that far off axis, the midrange was not acceptable. |
