Abstract:
1. A speaker system for providing uniform sound in a listening area comprising: a plurality of tweeter drivers, each tweeter driver including a front face and a rear face with an axis of symmetry extending from both the front face and the rear face, each tweeter driver configured for propagating sound energy along the axis of each tweeter driver from the front face, wherein the sound energy includes low frequency and high frequency components; a support structure for arranging the plurality of tweeter drivers in such a way that the axis extending from the rear face of each of the tweeter drivers converge in a single point in space, each of the plurality of drivers being equidistant from the converge point; and at least one reflector positioned adjacent to at least one tweeter driver along the axis of propagation from the front face, wherein as the sound is propagated along the axis of the at least one tweeter driver having at least one reflector, the high frequency components are reflected back toward the front face creating an acoustic shadow behind the at least one reflector and the low frequency components are diffracted to fill the acoustic shadow area behind other reflectors.
