What kind of dynamic range? regards, ppl Dr Peter Lennox School of Technology, Faculty of Arts, Design and Technology University of Derby, UK e: p.lennox@xxxxxxxx t: 01332 593155 ________________________________________ From: AUDITORY - Research in Auditory Perception [AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Tony Miller [antonio.miller@xxxxxxxx Sent: 18 April 2012 22:34 To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: free-field speaker Genelec makes a great line of powered loudspeakers that are well suited for laboratory use. They are line level input, so you can drive them directly from a high quality sound card and are very accurate, loud, easy to use and virtually indestructible. The downside is, of course, they can be expensive depending on your requirements (anywhere from US$369 to $5639 each). http://www.genelec.com/products/2-way-monitors/ http://www.sweetwater.com/c405--Genelec--Active_Monitors/ Hope this helps. -Tony On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 8:54 AM, Yale Cohen <yaleecohen@xxxxxxxx<mailto:yaleecohen@xxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for a free-field speaker [range: 0.5kHz - 15kHz]? thanks. yale -- Yale E.
