Introduction
Why Dual Concentric..?
One Source Is Better Than Two
Interference Over The Critical Crossover Area
Harmonics Ability to reproduce a flat frequency response on, and off, axis
Constant Time Delay
Attempts To Emulate The Dual Concentric High power handling and efficiency
Directivity
Spherical Wavefront Generation Better Control Wide dynamic range without compression
Wider Dispersion
A Single Driver An Integrated Solution

The Dual Concentric The Dual Concentric
Interference Over The Critical Crossover Area The result can be measured as an uneven off-axis frequency
response in all multi-way systems
A true Point Source gives the same sound from seat to seat.
Dual Concentric products can use simpler, better sounding and more efficient
crossovers.

A Point Source driver simplifies nearly every aspect of a system installation. Compact, full range boxes are the current system design route.
The Dual Concentric is the only practical way of creating a full frequency range Point Even in a small box, separated drive units cannot emulate a true

Other ways of approaching the Point Source goal suffer from identifiable drawbacks. Dual Concentric design.
