What are the advantages of multiple-BA compared to single BA?

[JermarioAnderson]

I did listen AS16 PRO, which of sensitivity to all, is a fact. 18Ω, a nice data is better than early KZ BAs iem that’s just 14Ω and 15Ω, and has very good sensitivity, pretty good impression of it.

Recently, they launched AS24 , a new multi-BA product with 24 units totally(single 12 units), designed by extreme configurations of acoustic. Multiple superposition is the way to output sound, and sensitivity on the graph will be up when two 30015 work the formant curve, but if the more BAs occupie, the nozzle will be larger. After the space increases, the position of the high-frequency formant will rebound, so it cannot be infinitely superimposed. After this adjustment, KZ treble BA is getting closer, and the midrange also let me hear the magic of 26989 through the driver and tuning, and sense of hearing is completely different from other multi-unit BA at the moment. AS24 is for those who want a full BA sound with really nice layering.

That's a whole lot of (misused) words for so little meaning.

Multiple driver configurations do not have any inherent advantages. Depending on the drivers a configuration with multiple (different) drivers may make sense to achieve a goal in tonality under considerations of time and cost. However this is not a universal truth. It certainly does not induce any sort of mystical/magical effects.

Do multiple BA drivers (not talking 24 drivers) have the same advantages of splitting frequency as normal speakers?

Not inherently. In some cases there may be a benefit, but it's not universally true.

I’ve always wondered about these. Do they have to put in crossovers or are the BAs bandpassed in their design?

One advantage of multiple BA solution is that you can charge more for it as it seems to be easier justify your high margins by the number of BA driver you have.

Yeah they are like $0.20 or so when bought in bulk.

Okay they are more like $5 but some of them are triple in one device.
