Dipole line array speakers

  • The "Tallerays" are so named because they're taller than almost any other speaker I know of. Each speaker, standing 7'4" tall by 16" wide by 2.5" deep, includes 14 Foster 5.25" midwoofers and a single centrally positioned Eminence compression driver mounted to a Dayton waveguide. Impedance is seven ohms and sensitivity is about 96dB. The midwoofers' top end is attenuated by a single 0.5mH inductor. They cross over to the tweeter via a second order crossover. The bass response rolls off below 70hz, so a subwoofer is recommended to reinforce the lower octaves.

  • A close up view of the Dayton waveguide tweeter and one midwoofer also shows the attractive grain pattern of the Baltic birch veneered baffle. The baffle is finished with two coats of tung oil, and the side rails are painted satin black.
