Publication number: 20020118858Abstract: A reflection speaker assembly includes a cylindrical body having an aperture, a reflector, a tweeter type speaker for higher frequencies and a midrange type of speaker for middle frequencies. The tweeter is located on the wall of the cylindrical body. The midrange is mounted inside the body. The aperture is located between a base containing the reflector and a housing containing the midrange speaker. In one embodiment, the reflector is positioned opposite the midrange speaker in the body and comprises in a flat surface set at an angle relative to the midrange speaker. In a second embodiment, the reflector is positioned opposite the midrange speaker in the body and is roughly conical. Sound waves radiated from the midrange speaker are reflected by the reflector, and are dissipated to the outside through the aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2001Publication date: August 29, 2002Inventors: Ted E.
