Abstract:
A speaker assembly, comprising:a speaker housing having a closed top wall and an opposed open end; a first sound source mounted within the speaker housing, wherein a first cover member is positioned over at least a portion of the first sound source to thereby alter the frequency response of the first sound source and the first cover member is a first support housing secured to the closed top wall of the speaker housing and the first sound source is positioned between the first support housing and the closed top wall, the first sound source being compression fit between the speaker housing and the first cover member such that the first sound source contacts the speaker housing and the first sound source contacts the first cover member with compressive force being applied to the first sound source by the speaker housing and first cover member; a second sound source mounted within the speaker housing, wherein a second cover member is positioned over at least a portion of the second sound source to thereby alter the frequency response of the second sound source and the second cover member is a second support housing secured to the closed top wall of the speaker housing and the second sound source is positioned between the second support housing and the closed top wall, the second sound source being compression fit between the speaker housing and the second cover member such that the second sound source contacts the speaker housing and the second source contacts the second cover member with compressive force being applied to the second sound source by the speaker housing and second cover member; and wherein the first cover member and the second cover member respectively alter the frequency response of the first sound source and the second sound source in a manner creating a physical crossover network.
