Light and loudspeaker driver device

A combined light and loudspeaker driver device comprising:

• a loudspeaker driver having a loudspeaker diaphragm with an opening formed around a central longitudinal axis of the device, the central longitudinal axis defining a forward and a rearward direction of the device;
• a housing for supporting in the loudspeaker driver;
• a light source positioned radially inwardly of the opening of the loudspeaker diaphragm, with respect to the central longitudinal axis and configured to direct light forward and away from the device;
• a heat removal element comprising a heat sink having at least an axially central part formed rearwardly of the housing along the central longitudinal axis of the device, and a heat removal column extending from the axially central part of the heat sink in the forward direction along the central longitudinal axis of the device, the light source being mounted at the forward end of the heat removal column;
• and
• a dome tweeter having a tweeter membrane in the form of a dome, wherein the light source is positioned behind the tweeter membrane, and wherein the tweeter membrane is configured to receive light generated by the light source and to transmit or radiate the received light away from the device, particularly away from the loudspeaker diaphragm of the device.
