Floor Bounce Speakers

Or maybe you re going for a college chic aesthetic with everything from your mattress to your tv on the floor.

Floor bounce speakers.

Depth can vary from about nine inches to two feet. The mid network is a 1st order hp followed by a 2nd. Elevate your music listening experience with this gloss black martinlogan motion series tower speaker. Another way to look at this.

As the name implies floorstanding speakers also referred to as tower speakers sit on the floor or an attached outrigger type stand. The dual 5 5 inch aluminum cone woofers are low mounted to produce thundering bass while reducing floor bounce and the folded motion tweeter ensures the high frequency sounds are clear. But at least for me i have decided to live with my horizontal 3 way for my center channel that does not address floor bounce. All bookshelf speakers suffer from this because the woofer is placed high.

However for large speakers with a low cut off frequency like active 3 way main monitoring systems the distance needed to bump the cancellation frequencies below the lf cut off simply becomes too big for most listening rooms and control rooms. The dual 5 5 inch aluminum cone woofers are low mounted to produce thundering bass while reducing floor bounce and the folded motion tweeter ensures the high frequency sounds are clear. In the listening room the floor bounce overlays the entire orchestra and again the physical size of the speaker controls how diffuse the floor reflection is going to be. Whatever the reason plenty of people place their audio speakers on the floor.

With horns it gets interesting since the vertical dispersion can be quite different for different horns covering different frequency ranges leading to a floor reflection. For example if your speakers have a 3 db low cut off at 55 hz d min 2 18 meters 7 3. Normally they will be three feet or taller and seven inches and up in width. The dip in response at 300 hz is floor bounce and can be for the most part disregarded.

A 3 way gives you the opportunity to avoid the interference as mayhem13 mentioned. The sharp suckout at 390 hz is the response with the woofer phase reversed showing good phase correlation between the woofer and midrange drivers. The woofer crosses to the mid at approximately 350 hz. Maybe you re scared your pets child will knock them down and damage your precious speakers.

When is floor bounce a problem. Maybe you hate the way audio speaker stands look. Speakers are described as two way three way four way etc.
