An omnidirectional loudspeaker having an inverted dome diaphragm disposed operably connected to a motor assembly and a phasing plug mounted to the motor assembly. The phasing plug has a top portion facing a convex surface of the inverted dome diaphragm and a bottom portion extending downward from the top portion along the central axis with a plurality of concentric apertures extending therethrough. Each aperture has a predetermined radial width and is spaced a predetermined concentric distance from an adjacent aperture. The plurality of concentric apertures cooperates with a compression chamber between the convex surface of the inverted dome diaphragm and the top portion of the phasing plug. Each aperture has a predetermined radial width, is spaced a predetermined concentric distance from an adjacent aperture and extends through the phasing plug exiting at the bottom portion.

The present invention discloses directional loudspeaker at least comprising: a loudspeaker cabinet comprising: a folded horn with a length of minimum one quarter of a wavelength, λ, and the horn mouth opening is asymmetrically placed in a front baffle providing a physical delay between the different wraparound pathways to the rear side of the loudspeaker cabinet; one or more driver speakers loading the horn with an open rear chamber, the open rear chamber having at least two opening pathways with a distance there between providing a physical delay of a rear wave, the loudspeaker cabinet provides at least four pathways for in phase and out of phase signals, at least two pathways for the out of phase signal and at least two pathways for the in phase signal amplified by the horn.

Loudspeaker enclosures and loudspeaker devices are provided. In some embodiments, a loudspeaker device is provided, the loudspeaker device comprising: a loudspeaker enclosure, comprising: a rear side; and a front side of the loudspeaker enclosure comprising: a lower portion of the front side comprising a first opening for receiving a first loudspeaker and a second opening for receiving a second loudspeaker; and an upper portion of the front side comprising a third opening for receiving a third loudspeaker, a first port, and a second port, wherein a distance from the lower portion of the front side to the rear side is greater than a distance from the upper portion of the front side to the rear side; the first loudspeaker positioned in the first opening; the second loudspeaker positioned in the second opening; and the third loudspeaker positioned in the third opening.

A speaker system is provided with a housing adapted to mount to a support. A driver is supported by the housing and arranged to project sound about a first axis extending at an offset angle relative to a longitudinal axis extending from the housing. A waveguide extends from the driver to define a cavity extending along the first axis. The waveguide includes a first segment formed at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis, and a second segment formed at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second segment is arranged opposite the first segment and the second angle is greater than the first angle to collectively provide an asymmetrical sound pattern in a first plane.
