Abstract:
A multi-way speaker array is disclosed that includes rings of transducers of different types. The rings of transducers may encircle the cabinet of the speaker array such that the speaker array is rotationally symmetric. The distance between rings of transducers may be based on a logarithmic scale. By separating rings of transducers using logarithmic spacing, denser transducer spacing at short wavelengths is achieved while limiting the number of transducers needed for longer wavelengths by spacing them in larger and larger logarithmic increments. Transducers with overlapping frequency ranges may be used in the speaker array to avoid initial dips or shortfalls in directivity for corresponding beam patterns.

Claim (Index 23):
The multi-way speaker array of  claim 22 , wherein the rotationally symmetrical ring of transducers is selected to produce audio frequencies in a first frequency range, the second ring of transducers is selected to produce audio frequencies in a second frequency range, and the end transducer is selected to produce audio frequencies in a third frequency range.
