Yorba Acoustics will be showcasing model G1, a unique proprietary guitar speaker, which had an low-profile introductory debut at NAMM 2014.According to Yorba Acoustics, “generally speaking and by and large, speakers are mounted on rectangular boxes, forward firing and have a certain sound characteristic shared by all of them. Although material sciences and new measurement tools have assisted in designing better speakers, the technology basically remains the same with the same physical limitations.”Yorba’s new speaker technology is a unique design topology using conventional drivers with a unique cabinet configuration to improve the performance of speakers “not possible by the conventional design configurations.”The design is a unique arrangement of two woofers/ midrange drivers at a pre-determined angle from the horizontal plane and a geometrically unique reflector with an embedded high frequency radiator, suspended between them, emulating a single sound source. This configuration ultimately results in improved directivity, midrange articulation, high frequency definition and improved off-axis frequency response for wider dispersion of sound.As the company’s announcement details, “Yorba Acoustics model G1 speaker technology is the result of persistent pursue of better sounding sound systems that would be differentiated in performance compared to the conventional designs even to an average listener. This was only possible by pushing and applying acoustic parameters that are most important to human auditory perception as well as the current scientific approach known by many competent speaker engineers and designers.“Due to the complexity of the design, there was no shortage of challenges when the concept was conceived, but once understood, it was much easier to optimize the design.For better understanding of the new design, many iterations had to be made in order to be considered. Many variations of the design had to be fabricated, measured and listened to before finalizing the model G1.”The result, which can be seen and heard at the 2015 NAMM Show in Anaheim, brings the benefits of better dispersion characteristics as they explain. “Larger speakers are more directional at higher frequencies. This challenge is known by loudspeaker designers and is most noticed by guitar players complaining about the variation of sound when they step away from their speaker cabinet. Model G1 however, by using multiple array of smaller drivers achieves a better off-axis frequency response hence; a wider dispersion therefore, giving the player more freedom to walk around the stage.” SpecificationsImpedance (Nominal): 4 OhmsPower Required: 40-130 WattsSensitivity: 97 dB 2.83V/1mConfiguration: 2 WayDrivers:2 X 6 1/2 inch high efficiency woofer/ midranges and 1 X one inch high efficiency proprietary compression tweeterWeight (Net): 26 PoundsDimensions (inches): 18(H) X 9(W) X 13(D)The YA Model G1 is mostly hand crafted in the US and carries a 3 year warranty.
