Abstract
A speaker system is provided herein that includes a frame at least partially encompassing a diaphragm of a first transducer. A bridge is operably coupled with the frame. The bridge includes a support section and a pair of arms extending therefrom, the support section including a rim portion. A second transducer is supported by the bridge and at least partially disposed within the rim portion. A first sound altering feature is disposed on a first side of the second transducer. An asymmetrical second sound altering feature is disposed on a second opposing side of the second transducer.
Claims17
A speaker system, comprising:
- a frame at least partially encompassing a first diaphragm of a first transducer;
- a bridge operably coupled with the frame, wherein the bridge includes a support section and a pair of arms extending therefrom, the support section including a rim portion, wherein the rim portion defines a cavity therein and first and second vanes perpendicularly extend over the cavity;
- a second transducer supported by the bridge and at least partially disposed within the rim portion;
- a first sound altering feature disposed on a first side of the second transducer;
- and
- an asymmetrical second sound altering feature disposed on a second opposing side of the second transducer.
A speaker system, comprising:
- a frame at least partially encompassing a first diaphragm of a first transducer;
- a bridge operably coupled with the frame, wherein the bridge includes a support section and a pair of arms extending therefrom, the support section including a rim portion;
- a second transducer supported by the bridge and at least partially disposed within the rim portion;
- and
- one or more dimples defined by the support section of the bridge, wherein at least one of the one or more dimples is defined by an asymmetrical geometric shape and wherein the one or more dimples includes a first dimple having a first radial width and a second dimple having a second radial width that is different from that of the first radial width.
A speaker system, comprising:
- a frame at least partially encompassing a first diaphragm of a first transducer;
- a bridge operably coupled with the frame, wherein the bridge includes a support section and a pair of arms extending therefrom, the support section including a rim portion;
- one or more dimples integrally formed within the rim portion, wherein the one or more dimples includes a first dimple having a first radial width and a second dimple having a second radial width that is different from that of the first radial width;
- and
- an asymmetrical protrusion extending from the rim portion.
