Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8501176A1] An up-firing woofer loudspeaker (12) is mounted atop a truncated pyramidal enclosure (1). A down-firing tweeter (5) is aligned above the woofer. A sound-reflecting sphere (4) is disposed between the woofer and the tweeter. When the sphere is aligned therebetween omni-directional sound is radiated in both horizontal and vertical planes. When the sphere is positioned to the rear a hemispherical pattern is obtained. This pattern is desirable when the loudspeaker structure is positioned against a wall. Ducted ports (3) or a folded horn (20) within the enclosure enhance very low frequency sound.
