Technical measurements provide a means of
objectively determining certain aspects of speaker
performance. A good speaker must perform well in all
measurable respects and we are very proud of the
technical performance of our loudspeakers. However,
good specifications alone are not sufficient to
guarantee a sonically accurate speaker because
measurements only partly describe performance. For
this reason, extensive listening plays a major role in
our design process. By correlating perceived
imperfections with measurements, problems can be
identified and corrected, and the results checked
again by listening. This painstaking process provides
more than good technical performance; it ensures
you a lifetime of musical enjoyment.

Driver complement and description: THIEL speakers
use dynamic drivers to provide a point source radiation
pattern, good dispersion over a wide area, excellent dynamic
and bass capabilities, and an absence of rearward out-ofphase energy. The performance of THIEL’s custom-built
drivers are the result of innovative design techniques and the
use of unusual materials to reduce cone resonances, lower
distortion, and increase output capability.
Frequency Response: The top graph line shows how
closely the speaker’s tonal accuracy approaches the ideal of
equal response at all frequencies. The curves are all very flat
with no large deviations. This is also true for both the octaveaveraged response (center line) which correlates to the
perceived balance, and the averaged 30° off-axis response
(lower line) which is correlated to the room’s ambient energy.
Time Response: Response to an impulse input shows that
the speaker’s output is very focused in time and reduces very
quickly, resulting in very clear and clean reproduction.
Step Response: A step signal, like musical sound, is made
up of many frequencies with precise amplitude, time, and
phase relationships. THIEL speakers reproduce a step signal
extremely well, indicating phase, time and amplitude accuracy
with very little ringing in time.
