Sound radiation
At low frequencies, typically below 200 Hz, monitors radiate omnidirectionally.
This means that the same sound pressure is created in any direction around
the monitor. At higher frequencies, the radiation becomes directional: midrange
frequencies radiate in a hemispherical pattern and very high frequencies can
radiate in a beam- or ray-like pattern. Genelec designs monitors with controlled
directivity and this minimizes the changes in the directivity across frequencies.
