  • Publication number: 20220337941
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a loudspeaker including a uniform enclosure having front portion, side portions and back portion defining an inner volume, the front portion is formed as a waveguide surface and includes at least one driver in the waveguide surface and is capable of radiating the main acoustic power of the loudspeaker to direction of first acoustic axis, and an at least one additional driver attached to the enclosure, the additional driver is attached inside the enclosure such that a sub volume is formed inside the inner volume, the sub volume limited by the driver, spacers between the driver and the front portion, and the front portion of the enclosure, at least one first port is adapted to open from the sub volume to ambient volume either to side portion or back portion of the enclosure, and at least one resonator including at least one resonator cavity acoustically connected to the sub volume, the resonator being tuned to at least one of unwanted resonances of the sub volume.

  • Patent number: 11026017
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a loudspeaker including an enclosure having front portion, side portions and back portion defining an inner volume, the front portion is formed as a waveguide surface and includes at least one driver in the center of the waveguide surface and is capable to radiate the main acoustic power of the loudspeaker to ambient volume in direction of first acoustic axis, and an additional driver attached to the enclosure. In accordance with the invention the additional driver is attached inside the enclosure such that a sub volume is formed inside the inner volume, the sub volume limited by the driver, spacers between the driver and the front portion, and the front portion of the enclosure, and at least one port is adapted to open from the sub volume to ambient volume either to side portion or back portion of the enclosure and at least one resonator acoustically connected to the sub volume, the resonator being tuned to at least one of unwanted resonances of the sub volume.
