Abstract: A line array loudspeaker has a first group of acoustic drivers comprising a first plurality of acoustic drivers each comprising an axis, the first plurality of acoustic drivers arranged so that their axes are parallel. There is a second plurality of acoustic drivers each comprising an axis, the second plurality of acoustic drivers arranged so that their axes are parallel. The first and second plurality of acoustic drivers are arranged such that a projection onto an azimuth plane of the axes of the first plurality of acoustic drivers intersects with a projection onto the azimuth plane of the axes of the second plurality of acoustic drivers at a first, fixed articulation angle. There is a second group of acoustic drivers that is adjacent to the first group. The second group comprises a third plurality of acoustic drivers each comprising an axis.

Abstract: A speaker includes a housing, at least one electro-acoustic driver including a diaphragm, and a cover secured to one or more of the housing and driver. The cover is configured to partially extend over the diaphragm to affect an associated cavity resonance frequency of an air cavity adjacent to the diaphragm.

Abstract: The technology described in the document can be embodied in a speaker that includes one or more drivers, and an acoustic horn that includes a first side panel and a second side panel. Edges of the first and second side panels defines an opening for receiving acoustic outputs from one or more drivers. The speaker also includes a manifold disposed between the opening and the one or more drivers, the manifold including a plurality of acoustic passages for connecting the opening to each of the one or more drivers, and an adaptor. The adaptor is disposed between the manifold and the acoustic horn, and includes multiple apertures for the plurality of acoustic passages. The adaptor is configured to conform to a profile of the opening while maintaining a seal between the acoustic horn and the plurality of acoustic passages.
