It would be "grown" by nanotechnology and operate at the molecular level, appearing simply as a transparent film when not in operation. (Similar in principle to present-day military phased-array radars, with tens of thousands of tiny antennas with individual electronics subsystems.) This perfect loudspeaker would be made of millions of microscopic coherent light and sound emitters, integrated with signal processing circuits all operating in parallel. the sound would be literally as clear as air itself. A host of distortions (harmonic, intermodulation, crossmodulation, frequency, phase, and group delay) would be utterly absent.

Resonances due to massive drivers and cabinets would be a thing of the distant past. It would made of an immense number of tiny point sources that would create a true acoustic wavefront (or soundfield). If you relax and take a mental journey to the 22nd Century, it is easy to imagine the perfect loudspeaker. At every point, from overall system design to subtle points of cabinet construction, esthetic preference merges invisibly with engineering decisions. At a more detailed level, the designer has to examine the sonic character of different types of direct-radiator driver, and know the advantages and limitations of each type.Įven designers who profess an agnostic, specification-driven approach make an esthetic decision when they decide which group of specifications to optimize. Due to the limitations of the art, no one school can "have it all," despite advertising claims to the contrary. These challenges can be met in many different ways, resulting in many different schools of speaker design. This chapter opens with a quick trip through the future, the past, and the challenges of designing speaker systems in the here and now.
