Abstract:
One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a two-way loudspeaker design that forces a condensed geometry between low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) drivers and then “floats” a midrange waveguide in front of the LF driver. This is a hybrid design meant to benefit from the close proximity of acoustic centers without introducing a central axis obstruction for the LF driver. In addition, the LF and HF waveguides and associated acoustic elements are used to redirect very low frequency energy not supported adequately by the LF waveguide to exit freely using other paths.

Claim (Index 1):
A loudspeaker comprising:\n a speaker enclosure; a low-frequency (LF) driver disposed in the speaker enclosure and having a radiating surface adapted to emit LF acoustic energy and a radiating surface opening defined by an outer circumference of the radiating surface; and an LF waveguide defining a first radiation path for LF acoustic energy, the LF waveguide having a proximal opening positioned adjacent to the LF driver and extending away from the LF driver to a distal opening to define the first radiation path therethough, the proximal opening having a proximal opening area that is smaller than a radiating surface opening area to define a second radiation path for the LF acoustic energy around an outer surface of the LF waveguide.
