Abstract:
The invention relates to a loudspeaker system or device configured such that the sound field generated by the system or device is controllable. The system or device comprises Left ( 16, 18; 41, 43 ) and Right ( 15, 17; 42, 46 ) loudspeaker arrangements configured for radiating at least mid and high frequency sounds to the surroundings (R) and for controlling the sound radiation pattern ( 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 ) of the left and right loudspeaker arrangements, respectively, such that the beam width and/or direction of the main lobe of the directivity pattern for the respective Left and Right loudspeaker arrangements can be varied; and at least one signal processor configured to process the signals to be provided to the loudspeakers of the respective loudspeaker arrangements such that the directional characteristics of the loudspeakers in each respective arrangement can be varied. The system or device may further comprise a low frequency arrangement comprising an arrangement of one or more loudspeakers ( 11, 12, 13, 14, 37 ) mounted in an enclosure ( 1 ) and configured such that the loudspeakers radiates sound energy to the surroundings (R). The low frequency arrangement may be configured as a bass-reflex enclosure with a wide port region. By means of the system or device according to the invention, the resulting directional characteristic of the system or device can be adapted to numerous specific use situations, for instance to obtain a stereo-stabilizing effect on a perceived sound image.

Claim (Index 18):
A loudspeaker device according to  claim 15 , wherein said housing ( 1 ) has a generally elongated shape extending in a lateral direction (x) on either side of a symmetry plane (y, z)=(0, 0).
