The invention relates to loudspeaker systems or loudspeaker columns as used in public address systems and at (pop) concerts. Such systems heretofore possess a frequency-dependent coverage angle and strong second and third order side lobes. The invention describes formulae of the voltage to be applied to the separate loudspeakers of the loudspeaker column, which makes it possible to realize the constant coverage angle over the entire frequency range and to suppress the side lobes to a far-reaching extent.
