Abstract:
A speaker assembly broadly comprising a housing, an input circuit, and a number of speakers. The housing includes a lower section configured to be positioned at least partially below a ground surface and an upper section extending upwards from the lower section. The input circuit receives audio signals from a sound system or other controller and actively or passively sends the audio signals to the speakers. The speakers include a low-range speaker positioned in the lower section of the housing and a relatively higher-range speaker positioned in the upper section. The speaker assembly is configured to be spaced from other speaker assemblies within a listening area with each speaker assembly generating low frequency soundwaves and relatively higher-frequency soundwaves. This reduces or eliminates out-of-phase crossover frequency wave cancellation effects within the listening area.

Claim (Index 1):
An outdoor speaker assembly comprising:\n a speaker housing including:\n a lower section; and \n an upper section connected to and spaced above the lower section; \n a low-range speaker positioned in the lower section for generating low frequency soundwaves; and a relatively higher-range speaker positioned in the upper section for generating relatively higher frequency soundwaves, the lower section of the housing being configured to be positioned below a ground surface such that the upper section is positioned above the ground surface, the speaker assembly being configured to be spaced from other speaker assemblies such that each speaker assembly produces low frequency soundwaves and relatively higher frequency soundwaves so as to reduce out-of-phase crossover frequency wave cancellation effects within a listening area of the speaker assembly.
