  • Horn array
    Patent number: 10225648
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for loudspeaker arrays that maximize a number of transducers and associated channel waveguides for a given length of the arrays. In one example, a loudspeaker array includes a plurality of transducers arranged in adjacent groups on opposing sides of a vertical axis of the loudspeaker array, and a plurality of channel waveguides, each channel waveguide coupled to a different transducer of the plurality of transducers, outlets of each channel waveguide being center aligned with one another along the vertical axis of the loudspeaker array. In the example, at least two inlets of the plurality of channel waveguides are substantially aligned along a horizontal plane, the horizontal plane being perpendicular to the vertical axis.
