What do time response and phase response mean and how do they affect speaker performance? Why do THIEL speakers have sloped baffles?
A. THIEL uses the trademark “Coherent Source” to describe the unique technical performance of our products. This phrase is descriptive of the time and phase coherence which gives THIEL products the unusual ability to accurately reproduce musical waveforms for extremely realistic, three-dimensional reproduction. The two factors of time and phase response are interrelated since phase shifts in the crossover network usually cause energy to be smeared in time by more than the time errors caused by the non-aligned drivers. However, it is still helpful to think about time and phase independently, especially since there are speakers that incorporate driver alignment but which are not phase coherent. While these factors alone do not guarantee a good sounding loudspeaker, if all other parameters are successfully addressed, time and phase coherence add a dimension of clarity and spatial realism that cannot be achieved by other means. Each musical sound is comprised of several different tones, or
