Abstract:
Loudspeaker systems and assemblies are provided in which mid-frequency producing drivers (20, 20') are provided on opposing sides of a high frequency source comprising a linear high-frequency source (10) connected to a waveguide (40). Crossover circuitry is provided such that the acoustic output from the mid-frequency drivers (20, 20') overlaps with that of the high-frequency source (10) over an intermediate frequency range associated with acoustic interference between the mid-frequency producing drivers (20, 20'). In some embodiments, the mid-frequency producing drivers (20, 20') are recessed behind the output of the waveguide (40), and optionally angled outwardly from the waveguide (40), in order decrease the distance therebetween.
