Why Choose Sonusphere?

It was during the first part of the 20th Century when the first instrument amplifiers and speaker enclosures were produced. Les Paul wired a phonograph needle to his guitar and connected it to a radio speaker to amplify his acoustic guitar. Understandably, speaker boxes of that era were made using the materials and technology available. Wood plank, excellent for building rectangular boxes such as crates and speakers, was a good choice. In essence, a spherical cabinet could not be made at that time. Thus, the speaker ‘box’ became the established standard well before sound engineers determined that other cabinet geometries provide superior sound reproduction. Until recently, speaker enclosures have been boxes mostly because wood box construction is less expensive, and because their shape is so familiar and ‘normal’. However, boxie cabinets provide tonally-colored, limited-dispersion, point-source sound. But note that the even best current box-style speaker manufacturers are producing more curved front faces and/or adding more rounded edges on their enclosures. This is their attempt to provide improved sound without ‘looking weird’. Even the most excellent sounding bookshelf, computer and portable speakers you use are round! They are all essentially moving ‘towards’ the Sonusphere shape! Acousticians now know that a sphere exhibits the most even/flat response and natural-sounding dispersion of all possible speaker enclosure geometries and is superior for reproducing the true sound of musical instruments.

Now Sonusphere offers you the broadest possible dispersion of the widest frequency range of sound waves with the greatest potential flat response. Sonuspheres represent a clear step in advancing amplified live performance sound production.
