1610 Series 8 – Design Insights: Time Alignment

The 1610 Series 8 – Design Insights articles provide a deeper look into the engineering behind the speakers. This section focuses on time alignment, a key factor in achieving realistic sound, precise imaging, and proper driver integration.

Timing That Preserves Realism

The angled front baffle of the 1610 Series aligns all drivers toward the listening position to ensure coherent arrival time and phase behavior. Correct timing improves transient clarity, sharpens imaging, and stabilizes the soundstage, helping preserve realism and spatial accuracy at realistic listening distances.

1610 Time Alignment

The 1610 baffle is designed for accurate timing and phase response in your listening position, with all drivers angled toward the same point to support clean transient behavior. At a listening distance of 4 meters and a listening height between 80 and 100 cm, all drivers integrate in perfect cohesion.

Why does it matter? It results in:

• More believable imaging

• Sharper attack and dynamics

• A more stable and focused soundstage
