Abstract:
1. An improved bipolar loudspeaker system configured to provide improved localization, comprising: a first midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker mounted in a first front-facing baffle in an enclosure; a second midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker mounted in said first front-facing baffle in said enclosure, wherein said second midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker is substantially identical to said first midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker; a third midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker mounted in a second rear-facing baffle in said enclosure, wherein said third midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker is also substantially identical to said first midrange or mid-bass loudspeaker; wherein said first, second and third substantially identical midrange or mid-bass loudspeakers are thereby mounted in opposing front and rear facing baffles in said enclosure to create a bipolar speaker assembly; and said first, second and third substantially identical loudspeakers being interconnected to an audio signal source of power so that the rear sound power that is produced by the rear-facing third speaker is about 6 dB below the sound power produced by the forward-facing first and second loudspeakers, thereby improving localization while retaining the spacious envelopment of a bipolar sound field.
