Title: Symmetric multi-horn loudspeaker system
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVIES RICHARD
IPC: H04R1/30
Filed: 2011-08-19
Abstract: A loudspeaker for use in the sub bass, bass and/or low mid frequency ranges incorporates multiple loudspeaker drivers 4a-d arranged in a curved configuration contained within an enclosure 1. Each loudspeaker driver is coupled to the enclosure outlet by way of a respective sound channel 5a-d. This symmetric multi-horn arrangement enables all associated loudspeaker drivers to couple their energy in phase coherence and time alignment to form one coherent sound wave upon exit of the loudspeaker. Low frequency sensitivity is greatly increased upon exit from the loudspeaker without creating resonance or transient decay. The arrangement also allows additional loudspeakers (figs. 2 & 4) to be added to form a larger system (fig. 9) that maintains phase coherence and time alignment over all the loudspeakers contained in the system. Each additional loudspeaker added to the system increases low frequency sensitivity.
