Dipole patterns

You're welcome...

A speaker with drivers on opposite sides is likely not dipolar, but rather bipolar. Examples include Mirage.

Nor is a speaker with drivers on 45 degree angled baffles, in my opinion. Dweller's explanation is pretty good.

Examples of speakers with dipole radiation characteristics include moving coil speakers such as Audio Artistry and Gradient and many planar/ribbon/electrostatic speakers such as Magnepan and Sound Lab. While cancellation occurs especially in the bass, the recreation of the reverberant sound field by a dipole can add significant realism to the sound and listening enjoyment.

My question is related to the rear surround type dipole.I use paradigm 150's which are the box type that have drives on the front and back.I do understand the theory behind dipole and bipole.My question is related to the rear or side surround speakers that have angled front baffles.Do they achieve dipole patterns with this angled front baffle.While they must, how do they do it?
