Audio Myths, Busted

Common beliefs that measurements don't support. TapClick a card to flip it.

"You need expensive cables for good sound"

TapClick to see the truth →

Current drive makes cables irrelevant

In current drive mode, cable impedance becomes part of the load — not a variable. The amplifier compensates automatically. Any decent cable will do.

"Open baffles have no bass"

TapClick to see the truth →

Dipole bass is deeper & faster

With proper DSP and room integration, open baffles produce bass that's tighter and more accurate than ported boxes. No port resonances, no group delay issues.

"Bigger speaker = more distortion"

TapClick to see the truth →

4-way active = less distortion per driver

Each driver handles only its optimal frequency range. No driver is pushed beyond its limits. The result: 10dB+ THD reduction across the entire spectrum.

"Stereo needs two speakers"

TapClick to see the truth →

Single Speaker Stereo is real

Using psychoacoustic principles and precise driver positioning, a single open baffle creates a convincing stereo image. Physics, not magic — Baffless SSS proves it.

"Hi-Fi means expensive"

TapClick to see the truth →

Engineering > marketing budget

Open baffles eliminate the most expensive component — the cabinet. Baffless puts that budget into better drivers, electronics, and DSP. Better sound, less cost.

"Room treatment is always needed"

TapClick to see the truth →

Dipoles are naturally room-friendly

Dipoles cancel sound to the sides, reducing room reflections by nature. Less energy hitting side walls means less need for acoustic treatment.
