Abstract
At least two closely spaced identical or similar loudspeaker assemblies, each loudspeaker assembly comprising at least two identical or similar loudspeakers pointing in different directions so that the loudspeaker assemblies have adjustable, controllable or steerable directivity characteristics. For example, a control module may drive adjust, control or steer the loudspeaker assemblies so that at least one acoustic wave field is generated at least at one listening position.

A multi-media system comprising:
- a display array comprising at least one electronic visual display;
- a video control module configured to operate the display array in a multiple content mode to provide different video contents at least at two different recipient positions;
- a loudspeaker arrangement comprising at least similar loudspeakers so that the loudspeaker arrangement has controllable or steerable directivity characteristics;
- and
- an audio control module configured to drive, control and/or steer the loudspeaker arrangement so that at least one acoustically isolated acoustic wave field is generated at each of the at least two different recipient positions to provide different audio content at the at least two different recipient positions.
