September 21, 2014
Clayton Shaw from Spatial Audio demonstrated both available models of his new open baffle loudspeakers that achieve bass response using all passive components in the crossover without any DSP or EQ that has been typical of previous open baffle designs. With 100 dB efficiency they can be driven by nearly any type of amplifier.
The Model M2 was demonstrated at AXPONA 2014 here in Chicago and received a lot of positive attention. The Model M2 uses two 12" drivers with a coaxial tweeter with bass response extending to 43 Hz. The larger Model M1 was just recently introduced at the California Audio Show. We were among the first to hear it. It is a larger version using two 15" drivers and the same coaxial tweeter with bass response extending to 32 Hz.
