sb25aw MEASUREMENTS
(All measurements made with Klippel Near Field Scanner in free space)
SMOOTH. ACCURATE. EXTENDED.
The CEA2034 or “Spinorama” data encapsulates the performance of a loudspeaker in a typical room. The sb25aw “Listening Window” response is ruler-flat, exactly the response that delivers accurate timbre, unmatched detail and coherence to the listener’s ears.
ACCURATE ALL THE WAY TO NINETY.
The sb25aw horizontal off-axis response is predictable and smooth all the way to 90 degrees.
EVEN THE REFLECTIONS SOUND GOOD.
Horizontal reflections are the room reflections you hear the “most”. Ceiling and floor reflections typically factor into perceived sound quality to a much lesser degree. You can see the Total Horizontal Reflections (green) is extended and smooth indicating that the reflected sound from an sb25aw loudspeaker is neutral in timbre and wide in bandwidth.
OVERLAPPING CIRCLES.
The sb25aw offers wide dispersion all the way to the very top audio octave. Everyone hears wide-band, detailed sound.
GAIN CONTROL.
The “Directivity Contour Plot” shows the speaker’s dispersion characteristics using color to represent output magnitude. A quick inspection of the sb25aw’s contour plot reveals its very wide, but very uniform dispersion.
LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES.
Here is the data shown in the Directivity Contour Plot shown again on a polar map, making it easier to “see” how the sound is dispersed from the loudspeaker itself. The 0° axis represents the axis perpendicular to the speaker baffle.. The sb25aw coverage is very wide and uniform, all the way to the top audio octave: >140° at -6dB! Everyone in a broad area receives full-range sound with delicate, extended treble response.
VERTICAL WIDENESS
The sb25aw’s vertical directivity is wide and predictable - especially for a two-way speaker with multiple LF drive units - making it easy to get uniform, broad-band coverage in every listening location.
sb25aw ACCESSORIES
BE LET IN ON THE YOKE.
The optional custom yoke bracket (also sometimes called a “C” bracket) not only allows rotational aiming of the speaker, but also features a 1/2” rigid conduit adapter hole so that the sb25aw can be pole mounted from ceilings affording another degree of freedom to aiming the sound to where you need it.
PIVOT. POLE. PAN. TILT. ADAPT.
The sb25aw ships with z-clips for flat-to-wall mounting.
The sb25 Universal Mount Adapter optional accessory facilitates the mounting of the sb25 in any scenario: pole from ceiling, pole from ground, onto any 75mm or 100mm VESA mount, and a number of pan-and-tilt and ball mounts for wall and ceiling mounting from Adaptive Technologies and Omnimount.
TAKE A STAND.
The sb-STAND stand accessory for Theory sb model soundbars and surface mount speakers allows the sb25aw to stand up on a flat surfaces such as speaker stands, mixing desks, consoles, tabletops and bookshelves. (Model sb25 shown).
YOU’RE INVITED TO THE (3rd) PARTY.
The sb25aw ships with included z-clip flat surface mount brackets but also has integral mount hole patterns for several high-quality third-party speaker mounts. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself using this highly capable little speaker everywhere.
