Inspired by the audio systems used at professional concerts, Sony’s unique Line-Shape Diffuser creates line source and distributes the sound energy much more evenly, across a wide sound front, to better fill your venue with audio. This spreads high-quality sound further and wider around your venue, without the sound losing quality.

With the Line-Shape Diffuser, the sound spreads further to the front area of the speaker allowing you to enjoy the same sound quality whether you are at the front or to the side of the speaker. This means that everyone in your venue can dance to the same music feeling the same sound quality. 

A=Conventional Service Area B=Wider Service Area with Line-Shape Diffuser

Unlike a conventional speaker, with most of the energy focused from the center of the cone, our unique Line-Shape Diffuser refocuses the sound through a narrow aperture. The increase in sound pressure energy spreads the audio equally in each direction both further and wider out from the speaker.

Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XE200 features a non-circular diaphragm which realises more sound pressure for a high-quality sound. 

The unit’s non-circular shape not only maximises the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass, it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion.

In addition, the unit’s off-centre design and optimised weight balance help to enhance clarity and widen the sound stage.
