FocalTrap

The Trap Scheme

Diverting and dispersing the energy emanating from the back of woofer to the interior of the cabinet (since speaker cones play in two directions) is the main advantage of non-parallel panels. The return path for the energy is directed over a longer excursion and time domain resulting in less direct sound pressure on the rear of the cone thereby reducing interference with the sound emanating from the front. The result is truer reproduction. Woofer fidelity in cabs with parallel fronts and backs is hampered by the energy which bounces off the rear of the cabinet and loads the rear of the cone. Deeper cabinets reduce the effect. But non-parallel panels clinch desired results.

Many complimentary quality matched tweeter/ bass-mid combinations are possible in this format.

The FocalTrap features a 1" ScanSpeak dome tweeter, the Focal Kevlar 6.5" bass-mid, a 24/12dB crossover, tinned military-type wiring, and teflon jacketed long grain flat copper wire for the tweeter.
