In the Thread: How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers
Post Subject: First a statement of factPosted by Winnie on: 12/3/2007
Podium Sound speakers are not NXT speakers. They use a central spine of transducers to vibrate a special panel that is supported almost exclusively on those transducers (four small sound bridges are used to help support the perimeter against a solid oak frame).
The transducers are equally spaced, in a straight line along the length of the spine, and as such are outside of the NXT patent. There are also other minor differences that I dont know of.
Shelly Katz is keen to differentiate his panels from those of NXT, which without being too rude IMHO do not really fit in Hi Fi territory.
Podium Speakers have been looked over several times by at least one of the NXT main people. If there had been an issue with patents I guess they would have brought it up. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
