One question that several of you have asked pertains to designing an in-wall speaker: how does it differ from designing a regular speaker? What factors do you have to take into account when you’re engineering it?
I caught up with Andrew Welker in our anechoic chamber (this time we put the floor in so I could turn the camera around!) and asked him about his strategy.

The Angled Back on the LFR Speaker
Another thing has had my curiousity piqued about the LFR1100 omnidirectional speaker . . . what’s with the angled backs? Granted, the angle is slight, but the rest of our speakers have straight backs. What gives?
I tracked (okay, hunted) Andrew Welker down and asked him the question. His reply:
Well, basically any sound coming from the back of the speakers is going to reach the listening position as a reflection of some sort. (The front section, by contrast, has a high proportion of direct signal pointing directly at the listening area). So we’re relying on reflections off boundaries for the sound, and for the most part boundaries mean a back wall.
