Dipole woofer, Open baffle, why?

Dipole woofers, such as those used in AudioLai Lura systems, offer numerous advantages in the reproduction of the low range. This technology is distinguished by the absence of a closed box or bass reflex, leaving the woofer free to radiate the sound both front and rear. Here are the main benefits of this configuration:

1. Low Sound Coloration

• The absence of a closed box eliminates internal resonances and the so-called boxy sound , ensuring a more natural and articulated bass reproduction.
• It reduces air compressions that can limit the dynamics and breath of the low range. AudioLai uses this technology in its high-end speakers to achieve absolute transparency in the reproduction of the audio signal.

2. Superior Impulsive Response

• Dipole woofers have less air inertia than a box-loaded system, which improves the speed and detail of the transient response.
• This results in more defined, controlled and less “bloated” bass, with a realistic impact on percussive instruments and low frequencies.

3. More Controlled Interaction with the Environment

• Dipole speakers radiate sound bidirectionally with natural cancellation on the sides, reducing the room resonance problems typical of traditional systems.
• This allows for better integration into the room, minimizing the reverberation effect and improving the timbre accuracy. AudioLai optimizes this effect with careful designs and materials that control reflected waves.

4. Greater Sensation of Air and Depth

• Dipolar dispersion creates a more open and airy sound field, improving the perception of spatiality and soundstage.
• The result is a more three-dimensional sound, similar to that of an electrostatic dipole, but with the energy and dynamics of a cone woofer. AudioLai systems exploit this characteristic to offer a wide and enveloping sound.

5. Less Energy Build-up and Less Distortion

• Compared to sealed or bass reflex systems, dipole woofers avoid internal air overpressure, which can introduce harmonic distortion and delays in bass response.
• This ensures a more linear and artefact-free low range.

These characteristics make dipole woofers an excellent choice for those looking for a natural, fast and artificial resonance-free low-end reproduction , while maintaining an engaging sound impact. AudioLai , thanks to the use of sophisticated DSP and active amplification, takes this philosophy to the highest levels, making the sound even more precise and controlled.
