No, I don't misunderstand. You were trying to apply a mathematical definition of polar radiation where it does not fit. A typical dynamic loudspeaker is a far cry from your pulsating sphere. Regardless of the strictest definition of the term "monopole" you may care to employ, a loudspeaker with drivers mounted on one side is and has always been referred to as a monopolar radiator, even though it's radiation in no way approximates your perfect pulsating sphere, which to my knowledge, doesn't exist in this world. To put it another way, what in audio circles is referred to as a monopole loudspeaker (correctly or incorrectly) in no way matches the performance described by the strictest definition of the term "monopolar"!
I think I've exhausted my ammo on this subject. Or at least all I care to. Whatever...enjoy the music. -- jdm56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdm56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38593 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
