Abstract :
High-fidelity audio (HiFi) consists of input, processing and output stages and the weakest link is the output transducer. Recent digital technology has made a dramatic improvement in signal processing yet the propagation of sound has remained unchanged. Wide imaging stereo (WIS) is an emerging technology which extends the stereo imaging area by controlling the polar directivity of the loudspeaker through the use of both optical and acoustical principles
