What is a waveguide? What is the principle of a waveguide?

The principle behind the application of waveguide technology in professional loudspeakers is to use a waveguide to control and direct the propagation of sound. A waveguide is a special acoustic structure that is typically designed and laid out in a specific shape to optimize the radiation and distribution of sound.

What are the differences between a waveguide speaker and traditional speakers?

In traditional speaker designs, sound is generated and radiated into the air by the speaker driver unit. However, this direct scattering method may result in less accurate sound directivity and difficulties in achieving high-fidelity audio performance. The application of waveguide technology changes the acoustic environment around the speaker driver unit. By designing and constructing a waveguide with a specific shape, the radiation and distribution characteristics of sound can be improved. The structure and shape of the waveguide can guide the propagation direction of sound and control the transmission of sound waves in the air.

What drivers are the main applications of waveguide technology?

In professional loudspeakers, waveguide technology is commonly applied in tweeters, which are responsible for producing high-frequency sound. By designing and constructing waveguide structures with specific shapes, the technology enhances the accuracy of sound radiation and distribution, resulting in improved sound imaging and separation.

Furthermore, in some professional speaker systems, waveguide technology may also be applied in midrange drivers and woofers. Its application in these units helps further enhance sound propagation and distribution characteristics, thereby improving the overall performance and accuracy of the speaker system.The biggest technical challenge of this technology lies in achieving consistent directivity between high frequencies and midrange frequencies. As the frequency increases, the directivity becomes narrower, making it more difficult to control. Therefore, the most commendable aspect of this technology is the ability to maintain a smooth and continuous overlap between the wide-dispersion midrange and the narrow-dispersion high frequencies through directivity control. Whether it is 10kHz or 2kHz, waveguide technology can ensure consistent high-frequency dispersion patterns, allowing sound to transition seamlessly.

What are the advantages of waveguide technology?

Professional speakers using waveguide technology have the following advantages compared to ordinary professional speakers:

1.Improved sound imaging and separation: Waveguide technology enables better control of sound directionality, allowing the sound to be more accurately focused on the listener position, thereby enhancing sound imaging and separation. This means that listeners can hear different frequency ranges more clearly, enhancing their auditory experience.

2.Increased speaker efficiency: Waveguide technology effectively increases the efficiency of the speaker, allowing it to convert electrical energy into sound energy more efficiently. This means that professional speakers can provide high-fidelity audio performance to a greater extent and generate higher sound pressure levels to meet the demands of large-scale performances or events.

3.Expanded speaker coverage: Waveguide technology controls the propagation angle of the sound waves emitted by the speaker, enabling the sound to be spread more widely and expanding the coverage area of the speaker. This is particularly important for large venues or outdoor activities, ensuring that all listeners can hear clear sound.

4.Reduced sound distortion: Waveguide technology reduces sound reflections and interference inside the speaker, thereby reducing sound distortion. This means that professional speakers can deliver clearer and more realistic sound, allowing listeners to accurately perceive the details and emotions of the music. In summary, professional speakers using waveguide technology can provide more accurate and high-fidelity audio performance, enhance sound imaging and separation, meet the requirements of large-scale performances or events, provide wide speaker coverage, and reduce sound distortion.
