Review: Analysis Speakers Epsilon Review
The rated sensitivity of all Analysis speakers is 86dB/W/m — on the face of it, hardly a high-efficiency number. That being so, how can they play so loudly with medium-powered tube amplifiers? Because attenuation of the sound wave traveling through the air is reduced due to the much larger dimensions of the planar membranes and ribbons. Theory stipulates that with the exception of a small area close to the sound source (“nearfield”), the sound wave experiences an amplitude drop of 6dB for each doubling of distance to the listener. Within the nearfield the attenuation is only 3dB. The nearfield extends to roughly three times the dimension of the driver. Although this is negligible for an ordinary tweeter (a few centimeters), the nearfield for a 2-meter-tall ribbon tweeter reaches about 6 meters. The following table compares loudness for two different drivers of the same rated sensitivity, according to the distance from a listener:
Distance: 1m 2m 4m
Ordinary tweeter: 86dB 80dB 74dB
2 meter ribbon: 86dB 83dB 80dB
This means that at a one-meter distance both drivers’ outputs are about the same, but at four meters the planar loudspeaker sounds twice as loud.
