Enclosure-less loudspeaker system

摘要

A loudspeaker system is provided for uniformly emanating sound waves to a listening area. The loudspeaker system includes a plurality of drivers, where each driver includes a front face, a rear face, and an axis of symmetry extending substantially perpendicularly through both the front and rear face. Each driver is configured to emanate low and high frequency sound waves from its front face substantially along its axis of symmetry. The loudspeaker system also includes a support structure having an inner volume. The support structure is configured to support the drivers in an arrangement such that the front face of each driver is directed toward the inner volume and the axis of symmetry of each driver intersects a relatively small volume near a central point located at the center of the inner volume. A listening area for the loudspeaker system is outside of the inner volume of the support structure.

1. A loudspeaker system comprising:
a plurality of drivers, each driver including a front face, a rear face, and an axis of symmetry extending substantially perpendicularly through both the front face and the rear face, each driver configured to emanate low frequency and high frequency sound waves from its front face substantially along its axis of symmetry; and a three dimensional support structure configured to support the drivers in a substantially spherical shape having an inner volume, the three dimensional support structure configured to support the drivers in an arrangement around the inner volume such that the front face of each of the drivers is directed toward the inner volume and the axis of symmetry extending from the front face of each of the drivers intersects a relatively small volume at or near a central point located at the center of the inner volume; wherein a listening area is outside of the inner volume of the three dimensional support structure; and wherein as the sound waves are emanated from the front face of each driver, the high frequency sound waves from the drivers are evenly spaced and the low frequency sound waves from the drivers are reinforced by the low frequency sound waves of adjacent drivers.
