Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	at 1:27 thru 1:50 of this video they describe the Sx900 speakers were designed to fire toward the audience vs older models that face the player?......as I look at the demo they look the same to me ?... I'm confused? Thoughts? Edited by Dnj (10/09/19 04:41 PM)

It is somewhat explained: Polypropylene diaphragm with excellent response provides crisp, high-quality tone, while a new diaphragm structure delivers balanced sound throughout a broad listening area. The diaphragm reminds me of Bose wave technology. Eric _________________________ Genos, PSR-S970, TC Helicon VoiceLive3, Mackie 802-VLZ3 Mixer, 2 Bose L1 Pro16, Electro-Voice ZXA1 Subwoofer

Conventional speaker materials cannot accomplish this, but the polypropylene materials have a far greater frequency response and wider disbursement. Hope this helps clear things up, Gary. _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

Graham UK Senior Member Registered: 01/20/01 Posts: 1925 Loc: Lincolnshire UK	SX Speaker distribution... Who's Conning Who !!! Speakers facing up, that's were the sound is projected. BOSE is a different ball game as they are Line Source Speaker.Speakers placed vertical in Line is the reason for the wide dispersion. Edited by Graham UK (10/10/19 03:33 AM)

abacus Senior Member Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 5393 Loc: English Riviera, UK	In other words it has a wide dispersion speaker system and possibly some DSP effect to further expand the image. (Its certainly nothing like the Bose system) Bill _________________________ English Riviera: Live entertainment, Real Ale, Great Scenery, Great Beaches, why would anyone want to live anywhere else (I�m definitely staying put).

The PSR-SX900 speaker configuration is slightly different with the use of dome speakers for a fuller, enhanced sound."

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Perhaps the grill openings allow more sound to slip through, due to the extra amps for the high end. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	The onboard speakers are approx. 30 degrees facing the player, there are no sound grills on the front of the keyboard or underneath, looking at their speaker sound dispersion on their website does not mention nothing to the front, just says sweet spot to the rear, front, left and right.
