Patent ID: 8638959

Claim:
A loudspeaker system, comprising: a left loudspeaker assembly enclosed in a first cabinet comprising first, second, third, and fourth sides, a full range acoustic driver/array mounted to the first side and facing a left wall of a listening space, the second side forms the rear of the left loudspeaker assembly to which is mounted a set of input terminals and is orthogonal to the first side and faces a front wall of the listening space, the third side is opposite the first side and faces a right side wall of the listening space, and the fourth side forms the front of the left loudspeaker assembly and faces a rear wall of the listening space; a right loudspeaker assembly enclosed in a second cabinet, separate from the first cabinet, also comprising first, second, third, and fourth sides, a full range acoustic driver/array mounted to the first side of the right loudspeaker assembly and faces the right wall of the listening space, the second side of the right loudspeaker assembly forms the rear of the right loudspeaker assembly to which is mounted a set of input terminals and is orthogonal to the first side of the right loudspeaker assembly and faces the front wall of the listening space, the third side of the right loudspeaker assembly is opposite the first side of the right loudspeaker assembly and faces the left side wall of the listening space, and the fourth side of the right loudspeaker assembly forms the front of the right loudspeaker assembly and faces the rear wall of the listening space; wherein the full range on-axis directional acoustic output of each loudspeaker assembly is directed outward toward the left and right side walls respectively of the listening space at an azimuth of approximately 180+/−45 degrees; wherein each full range acoustic driver/array can reproduce the range of frequencies that the human sense of hearing uses to localize sound sources and; wherein no acoustic output of the loud speaker system is directed directly toward the listening space; and wherein no acoustic output of the loudspeaker system is directed vertically, up or down, in the listening space; and wherein the first sides of the left and right loud speaker assemblies are separated by a distance of at least approximately 1.0 feet.
