Loudspeakers for High-Fidelity Large Scale Reproduction of Sound
Frank Massa · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1936
The extension of both frequency and volume range in large scale sound reproduction has imposed severe limitations on the performance characteristics of loudspeakers employed in these applications. This paper discusses some of the problems that arise under such conditions and what means have been taken for their solution. The limitations of single speakers to cover the entire frequency range are mentioned and the advantages of multispeaker systems are pointed out.
