A loudspeaker system of improved clarity, coherence and uniformity of
energy distribution containing mid frequency sound chambers with an
annular input and approximately rectangular output for use in multi-way
co-axial horn loaded line array systems. The sound chambers propagate the
annular mid frequency sound wave co-axially with a high frequency sound
wave, gradually changing the cross section of the mid frequency wavefront
resulting in co-linear acoustic mid and high frequency wavefronts from
multiple devices which range from the shape of a flat ribbon to that of a
curved ribbon. The sound chambers may be arrayed contiguously and placed
at the entrance of a suitable waveguide to form a wide band width acoustic
line source of extended length and controlled beamwidth.
