Now this technology has been around for many years and the price was a bit high when they where introduced but as since dropped. I have looked at the specification in this pdf file. http://www.avbristol.co.uk/productma...nel-manual.pdf
I have an idea for surrounds a cluster wall of surround and will this eliminate the sweet spot because with each one placed side by side from ceilings to floor will give a greater uniform sound coverage.
There sensitive is low at 87db but when a cluster is built up over the sidewalls and rear wall the level will increase and all that is needed is to EQ the surrounds to the same frequency response SPL db as single front loudspeaker.
The 40Hz limit for the sub is more than enough for the surround thou sometimes there are lows as low as 25Hz or lower but that rarely comes across.
The size of the panel is greater than x6 control 1 on the width and height.
I think I’ll buy a set and see how this goes for surround channel use.
One thing is to get the clutter of the walls. Hey I’m not replacing the JBL control 1, I just have ideas bouncing around. Also there lightweight!
There are several places to buy in the UK for around £68.00 RRP otherwise would be £199.95.
A pair of JBL control 1 lowest price in the UK is Richer Sounds where I got mine for £49.98 then price bumped up to £59.98 a year or so later.
