These little thingies are 8mm in diameter and 8mm tall with a funnel cut into one side.
Just for kicks one night, I cut an 8mm diameter dowel 8mm tall and tacked it onto my speaker--just so you can get the order of magnitude.
The frontal area of one of these babies is 50.2 square millimeters.
There are 92,400 square millimeters in a square foot, so there are about 1840 of these HFT's per square foot.
The frontal area of a dime is 227 square millimeters.
Do you get how timy these things are???????
A dime is 4.5 times bigger than these HFT's
Here is a blow up of one:
This is how they look compared to a couple of fuses so you get the size magnitude:
Here is one tacked onto the front of my midrange/tweeter tower as seen from a position CLOSER to the speaker than I sit when listening.
PUT YOUR GLASSES ON. It is just to the left of the red bar.
In order for a device to do room treatment, it has to be an appreciable size and cover a certain number of square feet.
Here's a closeup in case you missed it in the first photo
Here is one on a ruler so you can see how big it is
At 1840 of these per square foot, how many tens or hundreds of thousands of these does a person need to make a difference in the sound in a room, let alone one that is 6000 cubic feet?
I'm sorry, but these are just hilarious!
