Loudspeaker dispersion-


Just looked at speaker details showing 90 degree horizontal; but only 5 degrees vertical. The dome and cones are all round. Why isn't the dispersion the same in both planes? Forgive my ignorance. I expect faster answers on this forum than trying to research this.

That's a good question!

My guess would be it has something to do with tweeter location on the front baffle and how sound is reflected off that accordingly.

Also possible that different soft dome designs have different internal dispersion patterns by design despite the outward symmetrical appearance of the dome.

Or both.
