IDG is not just a design statement; it is a crucial component of Misson’s loudspeaker design from the original 700 series onwards.
By placing the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the sound path is balanced, resulting in sound waves that coincide at the listener’s head height.
This technique improves ‘time alignment’.
However, this design is not simply a matter of inverting the speaker cabinet.
Every aspect of the industrial and mechanical design requires precise calculations to ensure that the positioning, spacing, and alignment contribute to the goal of achieving optimal ‘time alignment’.
This is achieved through a meticulous crossover design process that is of artisan quality.
