Patent ID: 7668331

Claim:
A 360 degree compound sound system, comprising: a frame; a first baffle portion connected with the frame, and wherein a first container is connected with the first baffle portion such that the first container in conjunction with the first baffle portion forms a first enclosure for holding a first speaker; a second baffle portion connected with the frame, the second baffle portion connected with the frame such that it is positioned proximate and substantially parallel to the first baffle portion, and wherein a second container is connected with the second baffle portion such that the second container in conjunction with the second baffle portion forms a second enclosure for holding a second speaker; a first speaker mounted to the first baffle, the first speaker having a front side, a back side, and a central axis, with the first speaker being reverse-mounted with the first baffle such that the front side of the first speaker faces the first enclosure; a second speaker mounted to the second baffle, the second speaker having a front side, a back side, and a central axis, with the second speaker being-reverse mounted with the second baffle such that the front side of the second speaker faces the second enclosure; wherein the first and second speakers are mounted such that they are substantially aligned along their central axes and such that each of their respective back sides face each other; wherein the speakers are matched; and wherein when the speakers are operated in unison, a sound wave is generated and pushed outward from the frame and approximately radially from the central axes of the speakers in up to 360 degrees, expanding outward about a plane approximately perpendicular to the central axes.
