Abstract
An integrated stereo speaker system in which substantially non-directional bass sounds of low frequency are supplied exclusively to an enclosure common to right and left channels. Directional sounds in mid-range and higher frequencies are supplied to separated right and left treble speaker means with respect to which the common bass enclosure is preferably in a co-planar central position. Drivers within the common bass enclosure are mounted to minimize vibration effects and to obviate standing wave and bass cancellation effects. Treble speaker means may comprise multiple drivers related to each channel which occupy a vertical polarized axis for minimal distortion and best stereo effect.
Claims6
An integrated stereo speaker system supplying multi-channel amplified sound deriving from a stereo production, including a bass speaker enclosure and relatively separated right and left upper range satellite speaker means, said bass speaker enclosure embodying a plurality of bass speaker means arranged to exclusively receive all sound waves from said channels which are in a low frequency range, and means for providing that the sound waves in a treble range and an overtone range in the respectively different channels are supplied exclusively to said right and left upper range speaker means, said bass speaker means including a pair of speakers for each channel, said speakers being paired to have the central axes of each pair converge in a direction outwardly of said enclosure and the pairs of speakers being mounted in such side by side relation that the sounds from the respective paired speakers, each pair of which is adapted to transmit sounds from a single channel, blend to produce substantially a single wave length of sound, in the low frequency range.

A bass speaker enclosure for use in a stereo system supplying multi-channel amplified sound deriving from a stereo production, comprising a housing, panels forming a closure to one side of said housing, said panels being paired in a side by side angular relation and mounting bass drivers paired in side by side corresponding angular relation so the central axes of the side by side bass drivers on the paired panels converge and intersect forwardly of said enclosure, said pairs of angularly related side by side panels being in a side by side continuous relation, each pair of panels mounting a set of drivers exclusively associated with a selected channel of the stereo production and connected exclusively to receive and transmit sound waves in a prescribed low frequency range.
