actually the dodecahedron things would work fine for my purposes, actually normal speakers work fine, I make sound art installations - outdoor ones, and there are certain instances where it might be useful to have a speaker that propogated sounds in all directions (as in real life the sound of say

Re: [Sursound] Spherical speakers ?

OK. For this purpose (where power response is the main point) the dodecahedral speakers would work fine. Their difficulty for eg stereo use--that they bounce sound all around the room and also have oddball lobing effects would be irrelevant(or in the former instance useful) It would not be too h

Re: [Sursound] Spherical speakers ?

Such a thing was offered for sale for consumers by DBX(as I recall) a long time ago. I do not think it had much success--not surprisingly since there is no real reason to want such a thing. Robert On Fri, 19 Oct 2012, Fabio Kaiser wrote: Google for dodecahedron loudspeakers. There you'll find

Re: [Sursound] Spherical speakers ?

There are true omni directional speakers, made by MBL , quite expensive. These work by having a whole surface that expands and contracts --a sort of lens shaped thing that is pushed in and out by compression of the ends. Hard to arrange--hence expensive. But they do have an essentially spherical

Re: [Sursound] Spherical speakers ?

I did come across these sorts of things - not to be pedantic, but they're not really spherical (though as good as I guess) but lots of little normal speakers pointing in all directions. Would it not be possible - by means of some sort of elastic material - to have just one spherical surface that vi
