  • Arrayable loudspeaker with constant wide beamwidth
    Patent number: 10015583
    Abstract: An arrayable loudspeaker (11) has at least one high frequency driver (39) mounted to a horn (37) and at least one pair of low frequency drivers (41) configured behind and in a closely spaced relationship to the horn to form low frequency side chambers (71) between the drivers and the horn from which acoustic energy produced by the low frequency drivers can propagate. Low frequency exit channels (77) above and below the horn are coupled to the low frequency side chambers (71). The configuration of the horn and low frequency drivers and the low frequency side chambers and low frequency exit channels is such that acoustical outputs of all drivers radiate coaxially from the loudspeaker with substantially constant wide beamwidth in the non-arraying plane. Signal processing can be added to enhance beamwidth control critical frequency ranges above crossover.
