CONCLUSION

assumptions about the behavior of loudspeakers led the professional sound

UNDAMENTAL

industry to use a single approach to sound system design for much of the past fifty years. The

hang-and-tilt approach, while effective in meeting most of the basic customer requirements,

is also an approach that requires an extensive engineering effort to do properly, is often

expensive to install, is invasive to the appearance of a facility, and is difficult to service.

Our intent has been to show that the fundamental assumption leading to hang-and-tilt as the

dominant approach is not true for all sound sources. And at least one of the alternatives – line

sources – has properties that address many of the weaknesses of the hang-and-tilt approach,

and are practical to build.

Bose has undertaken the development of such a source based on the extraordinary results

obtained with custom-made versions of line sources in a wide variety of facilities throughout

the world, including acoustically challenging facilities. The result is an unobtrusive, yet

acoustically powerful speaker that can be used to satisfy basic customer requirements in

many facilities and often at significantly less cost than a traditional hang-and-tilt system.

It is our belief that such a source is capable of significantly extending the options available

to sound designers, and as such represents an important extension to and enhancement of

what is currently possible.
