A typical speaker of this size would become omnidirectional below 500Hz, which could cause problems with in-room response in most untreated rooms. The CDM65 eliminates unwanted room effects and the need for substantial room treatment by directing energy towards the listener and away from the rear and side walls. The cardioid pattern is achieved by proprietary DSP processing that uses side-firing subwoofers to decrease acoustic energy travelling from the front to the back of the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CDM65's primary design goal was to create a speaker with industry-leading accuracy by integrating cutting-edge design and measurement techniques, including the Klippel Near Field Scanner and the CEA 2034 standard, popularly known as \"Spinorama.\" Using our anechoic chamber and standard testing procedures, we built and optimised the CDM65. Furthermore, our findings were validated with the NFS system and optimised for CEA 2034 readings. As a result, the speaker has a genuine +\/- 1.0dB on-axis and listening window response, nearly perfect in-room response, controlled directivity, and low distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other speakers, the Mesanovic CDM65 can receive wireless audio from any WiSA transmitter. The WiSA-certified CDM65 speaker can be connected to any WiSA transmitter or the Platin Stereo Hub. An uncompressed 24-bit 48\/96 kHz stream coupled with a 7.1 configuration ensures pristine playback quality. Platin Audio creates the Stereo Hub for Mesanovic. It has a variety of inputs accessible, including USB Audio, HDMI, Optical, RCA, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Chromecast, and more. The Stereo Hub also has a DSP processor that can be used with the Mesanovic App. The programme includes room correction as well as the ability to manually EQ the response to your liking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMesanovic has fit all of these elements into a tiny cabinet while maintaining an extended bass response down to 36 Hz.
