Patent number: 11044551Abstract: An acoustic assembly may include acoustic emitting devices attached to an enclosure. The acoustic assembly may further include an acoustic horn for influencing sound emitted by one or more of the acoustic emitting devices. For example, the acoustic horn may influence a beamwidth of sound emitted by one of the acoustic emitting devices. As a further example, the acoustic horn may influence a first beamwidth of a first acoustic emitting device and a second beamwidth of a second acoustic emitting device in a crossover region between the first acoustic emitting device and the second acoustic emitting device. The acoustic horn may include a waveguide attached to at least one integrator. The at least one integrator may include at least one plug and at least one lens.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Jacques Spillmann, Steven Patrick Riemersma, Mark Thomas Delay

Patent number: 9571923Abstract: A high frequency waveguide and methods relating to the design and use of the waveguide are described. The waveguide can include an acoustic input to receive an audio input signal from a high frequency driver, an acoustic output to broadcast sound, and a plurality of acoustic paths extending from the input to the output. A first path of acoustic paths is divided into two paths when a width of the first path is greater than ½ wavelength of a highest frequency at the input. In an example, each of the plurality of acoustic paths carries across all frequencies from the high frequency driver. In an example, the paths each have a first port receiving audio and a second port outputting audio, and the paths enlarge from the first port to the second port.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Jacques Spillmann, Steven Patrick Riemersma
