Abstract: A controlled array loudspeaker comprising a plurality of acoustic drivers, each acoustic driver aligned along a common path and directed at an angle of rotation from an axis of the common path at a degree corresponding to the degree of audio frequency level output relative to the position along the common path of at least a first acoustic driver for frequencies in at least the critical voice band, and at least a second and a third acoustic driver for frequencies above the voice band.

Abstract: A speaker arrangement comprises a first sound transducer (101) for reproducing sound in a lower frequency range and having a first on-axis direction and a first center point. The arrangement further comprises a second sound transducer (103) for reproducing sound in a higher frequency range, the second sound transducer (103) being mounted in front of the first sound transducer and having a second on-axis direction and a second center point. The transducers are positioned such that an angle between the first on-axis direction and the second on-axis direction is between 45° and 135°, and such that the distance between the first center point and the second center point is not higher than a cross-over wavelength corresponding to the cross-over frequency. The cross-over frequency between the lower frequency range and the higher frequency range is selected to be within the interval from 1.5 kHz to 3 kHz. An improved point source approximation may be achieved.
