Home theater speaker placement has never been easier! The AO209 surround speakers from Angstrom can switch between Dipole and Bipole operation. The attractive cherry finish will blend well with any décor. And, they come with all necessary hardware for wall mounting.
Dipole operation has the speakers on each side of the cabinet working out-of-phase with each other creating a zone of sound perpendicular to the speaker housing that makes the source of the sound undetectable. It also opens up the sound in the back for clear surround sound effects. Bipole operation keeps the speakers in phase and provides a bigger sound and is ideal for when you can't place the speakers perpendicular to the listening location.
Each speaker housing has two 100mm base unit and two 25mm treble unit that can handle up to 60W of power. A dynamic range of 65Hz to 22kHz delivers vibrant sound from the bottom to the top of the aural spectrum.

Ambient Surround SoundEach set of the Angstrom Omega II AO 209 surround speaker features a 100mm woofer and 25mm tweeter on each side for 360 degree sound dispersion, delivering incredible ambient sound effects.
Switch between Dipolar and Bipolar ModesWhen switched to the Dipolar mode, the Angstrom Omega II AO 209 surround speaker's two drivers are out of phase to create diffused and non-focused surround sound for rich, open background effects; while in the Bipolar mode, the speaker delivers 360-degree sound for focused 3-D effects.

Features
Surround sound decoders provide ambient surround effects to the rear channels. The speaker used to replay this information should not in themselves be obvious sources of sound. Dipolar and bipolar loudspeakers deliberately disperse the sound such that it isn't easy to locate the sound source.
In a Dipolar loudspeaker the two sets of speakers are out-of-phase with each other, i.e. the drivers on one side push as the other side are pulling. There is then a 'dead zone' of sound in the area directly along a line at 90 degrees to the speaker - sonically highly desirable, as it surrounds the listener, yet the source of the sound is undetectable. If they can be set up on either side of the listening position the dipolar configuration will give very open rear effects imaging without the speakers drawing attention to themselves.
In a Bipolar loudspeaker the two sets of speakers are in phase with each other, both sides pushing air at the same time and giving a slightly greater output where the Dipolar speaker's dead zone would be. In fact, a bipolar speaker disperses sound through almost 360 degrees, which helps if the surround speakers are to be used behind (or anywhere other than level with) the listening position.
The new Angstrom Omega II surround speaker is switch-able between Dipole and Bipole operation.
Based on the drivers, configuration and voicing of the A0 201, the A0 209 surround speaker is switch-able between dipolar and bipolar operation. In either mode it gives a diffuse but tonally even and extremely dynamic presentation of surround effects.
