What are Dipole Speakers?
Like a bipole speaker, a dipole speaker outputs sound from both
sides of the cabinet. The difference is dipole speakers are ‘out of phase’, which
means that one speaker is outputting sound while the other is not, and vice-versa.
The purpose is to create a very diffuse and enveloping surround sound effect. Dipole
surround speakers are usually preferred by movie enthusiasts and are also placed
on the side walls. The term dipole derives from the fact that the polar response
consists of two lobes distributing equal sound forwards and backwards, and none
perpendicular to the axis. Dipole surround speakers can sound good either on the
side walls or the back wall of a home theater--the overall shape of the room will
decide where they should be placed.

Benefits of Dipole Speakers
Sound is fifty percent of the entertainment experience. Sound waves are affected
by room acoustics bouncing off reflective surfaces such as walls or being absorbed
by soft surfaces such as upholstery and carpets. Dipole surround speakers can sound
good either on the side walls or the back wall of a home theater and the overall
shape of the room will decide where they should be placed. An advantage of dipoles
is that the sound is concentrated in the listening area due to the figure-of-eight
polar response. Dipole Speakers are designed to provide high quality sound. Getting
the full sound element of your Home Theater Surround Sound by adding Dipole Speakers
will feel like you’re in a Movie Theater. There are several benefits to adding a
