  • Patent number: 11303995
    Abstract: A waveguide assembly for a loudspeaker is provided. The waveguide assembly includes a plurality of panels and a plurality of trays, which together at least partially defines a waveguide. One or more of the panels are arranged to be movable relative to the trays to adjust a coverage pattern of the waveguide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: Bose Corporation

  • Patent number: 11234063
    Abstract: A ceiling tile loudspeaker includes an acoustic enclosure that defines an acoustic cavity. An electro-acoustic transducer is supported by the enclosure such that a first radiating surface of the electro-acoustic transducer radiates acoustic energy into the acoustic cavity and a second radiating surface of the electro-acoustic transducer radiates acoustic energy outward away from the acoustic enclosure. A first baffle is disposed within the acoustic cavity. The loudspeaker also includes a plurality of partitions, which, together with the first baffle, defines a plurality of ports that acoustically couple the acoustic cavity to an exterior of the enclosure. Each of the plurality of ports includes a first open end, a second open end, and a central axis extending therebetween. The ports are arranged such that their central axes lie in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a motion axis of the electro-acoustic transducer.

  • Patent number: 10694281
    Abstract: Various implementations include loudspeakers. In some particular cases, a loudspeaker includes: a high frequency (HF) driver; a low frequency (LF) driver coaxially arranged with the HF driver; and a waveguide overlying a sound radiating surface of the LF driver, the waveguide having a hole pattern such that a sound radiation pattern of the LF driver matches a sound radiation pattern of the HF driver at a reference location.
