Abstract:
1. A speaker assembly comprising: a speaker; a housing mounted to the speaker; a reflector spaced apart from and facing the speaker, the reflector having a generally convex central region and a plurality of circumferentially spaced lobes, each extending radially outward from the central region for reflecting acoustic vibrations from the speaker radially outboard from the reflector while providing gaps between the lobes for permitting acoustic vibrations to pass therethrough; and a series of supports connecting the housing and the reflector, the supports being spaced circumferentially about the housing for providing openings between the supports for an outlet of the reflected acoustic vibrations, wherein each of the series of supports is aligned with and externally partially visually conceals one of the lobes; wherein each of the series of supports has an overall width that is different than an overall width of the corresponding lobe to externally, at least partially, visually conceal the corresponding lobe.
