| Dispersion | |
| The characteristic pattern of how a loudspeaker radiates sound in a three-dimensional space. Horizontal dispersion describes the amount of sound output at various angles side-to-side from the listening axis. Vertical dispersion describes sound output at various angles up and down from the listening axis. Many times controlled dispersion is used to reduce unwanted reflections from floors, ceilings or other obstructions in the sound field. | |
