Claim Text:
1. A speaker system comprising: a speaker enclosure; a first array of transducers mounted in the speaker enclosure and having a first lateral displacement; at least a second array of transducers in the speaker enclosure and having a second lateral displacement, which is larger than the first lateral displacement, wherein the second array is configured to operate as a low-frequency array and the first array is configured to operate as a high-frequency array, and wherein the second array comprises at least one transducer of the first array; wherein: a speaker input port; and a controller operatively coupled with the speaker input port, wherein the controller is configured to provide an electronic-audio signal to the transducers such that the first array and the second array mounted in the speaker enclosure are tuned to different center frequencies and are a two stage dipole beamforming array, and the controller further configured to provide an electronic-audio signal to the transducers such that the first array forms a high frequency dipole array in an optimized frequency region defined by a high pass filter and a low pass filter.
