  • Patent number: 11985477
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosure, a loudspeaker includes an enclosure having a front sidewall that is disposed between a first acoustic opening and a second acoustic opening. The loudspeaker further includes a motorboard comprising a first opening arranged along a plane and a second opening arranged along the plane, an active driver, and a passive component. The active driver is arranged concentric to the first opening to transmit sound waves directly through the first opening toward the front sidewall. In addition, the passive component is arranged concentric to the second opening to transmit sound waves directly through the second opening toward the front sidewall.

    Inventor: Rogelio Delgado, Jr.
  • Patent number: 7686129
    Abstract: A horn and a loudspeaker employing the horn are disclosed that include a body having a throat that expands outwardly to a mouth such that a first interior area defined by the throat is smaller than a second interior area defined by the mouth. A plurality of raised surface areas is located on an interior surface of the body. The raised surface areas extend into a hollow interior defined by the body a predetermined distance and are utilized to channel sound waves through the body and out the mouth.

  • Patent number: 7590257
    Abstract: A speaker system including a first and a second horn, each having a respective acoustic driver and a respective planar mouth and a respective throat operationally connected between the respective acoustic driver and the respective mouth, wherein the mouths are substantially coplanar. The system is characterized by an acoustic dispersion angle of about thirty degrees in a first vertical dispersion plane and by an acoustic dispersion angle of at least about ninety degrees in a second horizontal dispersion plane oriented orthogonally to the first dispersion plane.

  • Patent number: 7275621
    Abstract: A horn including a substantially flat coupling flange defining a coupling flange plane, a substantially planar mouth defining a mouth plane, an elongated throat extending between the coupling flange and the mouth, a transducer for generating a sonic output operationally connected to the coupling flange, and a major axis extending through the elongated throat. The coupling flange plane and the mouth plane are nonparallel and define a horn angle. The major axis connects the coupling flange and the mouth and the elongated throat is characterized by a substantially steadily increasing sectional area along the major axis from the transducer-connecting end to the mouth connecting end.

  • Patent number: 5000286
    Abstract: A modular loudspeaker system of uniformly sized and shaped loudspeaker modules permits hanging of a plurality of the modules in a wide variety of desired configurations. Each module has a pair of side walls with recessed upper and lower marginal edge portions and an integrally formed reinforced connectable structure that spans between the recessed edge portions for reinforcement of the module across its side. When several modules are hung vertically, the vertically aligned reinforced connectable structures reinforce the system along its entire length. Three module types are disclosed, with one type adapted for removable mounting therein of a speaker horn via a quick release hub. Overall, the system provides optimum versatility in adapting to the acoustical requirements of a wide variety of performance venues.
