Heissmann Acoustics | WaveWall-182

"Form follows function"

With these words, the development of WaveWall 182 is probably best paraphrased.

The generous curves flowing into the wall, along with the very small case depth, allow the excellent acoustic characteristics of the WaveWall-182.
The speakers not only fuses optically, but also acoustically with the wall.

The on-wall installation offers concrete advantages compared to conventional loudspeakers:

a significant gain in efficiency
correspondingly higher maximum level
lower distortions
smoother dispersion
inconspicuous integration into the living space
... along with a maximum WAF

Measurements

The usual problems with conventional on-wall solutions have been successfully bypassed, in particular by the complex housing design. The dispersion is extremely uniform and without disturbances due to diffraktion, which, in particular, greatly benefits the three-dimensional representation of the sound event. Even in the vertical, the WaveWall 182 measures itself very well. It does not necessarily require an alignment to ear height. Burst-decay is flawless.

Particularly noteworthy are the outstanding low harmonic distortions, especially in the for the ear very critical midrange. Even with 100dB / m they remain in the range of inaudibility. That shows clearly how much know-how has gone into the development of the drivers.

Hi

Very nice project! I think there should be more such "on-wall" concepts!

I have one question. It can be seen that the omnidirectional radiation is better in the 2kHz range than above and below this frequency. Wouldn't the use of a waveguide be an advantage to soften the "hump" at 2kHz at an angle and to let the super high frequency drop more evenly and less strongly?

Best regards,
Jörn
