Dual-tweeter loudspeaker

1. A stereo speaker system comprising:

a frame generally defined by an outer circumference;

a woofer having an outermost perimeter; and

first and second tweeters configured to broadcast in the same general direction as the woofer, wherein the first and second tweeters are positioned at diametrically opposite sides of the frame, and wherein portions of each of the first and second tweeters are disposed inside and outside the outermost perimeter of the woofer as viewed from the front of the woofer.

2. The stereo speaker system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second tweeters are located to reduce interference with sound waves emitted by the woofer.

3. The stereo speaker system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second tweeters are angularly adjustable.

4. The stereo speaker system of claim 3 , wherein the first and second tweeters are angularly adjustable from about 0-50 degrees.

5. The stereo speaker system of claim 1 , wherein the woofer comprises a dust dome.

6. The stereo speaker system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker system is adapted for mounting in a ceiling.

7. The stereo speaker system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker system is adapted for mounting in a wall.

8. A three-driver stereo speaker system comprising:

a woofer driver having a mounting frame generally defining an outermost circumference of the woofer, wherein the mounting frame has an inner surface and an outer surface; and

two tweeter drivers, configured to broadcast in the same general direction as the woofer driver each tweeter driver being independently mounted at the inner surface of the mounting frame and in front of the woofer driver so as to expose the center of the woofer as viewed from the front of the woofer driver,

wherein portions of each tweeter are disposed inside and outside the outermost circumference of the woofer, and wherein the three-driver stereo speaker system includes no more than three drivers.

9. The stereo speaker of claim 8 , wherein the tweeters are angularly adjustable.

10. The stereo speaker system of claim 8 , wherein the tweeters are positioned at diametrically opposite ends of the mounting frame.

11. The stereo speaker system of claim 8 , wherein the tweeters are not both positioned on a diameter passing through the center of the woofer.

12. The stereo speaker system of claim 11 , wherein the tweeters are circumferentially positioned such that a central angle defined by the tweeter positions relative to the center of the woofer is at least 45 degrees.

13. The stereo speaker system of claim 11 , wherein the tweeters are positioned between about 45 and 180 degrees of each other with respect to the center of the woofer.

14. A 2-channel stereo speaker for reproducing a stereo signal in an office paging system, comprising:

a ceiling or wall mountable frame;

a woofer driver disposed within the frame and having an outermost perimeter, the woofer driver being configured to broadcast a first frequency range of a first channel and a first frequency range of a second channel, the first channel and the second channel together forming the stereo signal; and

first and second tweeters configured to broadcast in the same general direction as the woofer driver, wherein the first and second tweeters are positioned at diametrically opposite sides of the frame, and wherein portions of each of the first and second tweeters are disposed inside and outside the outermost perimeter of the woofer driver as viewed from the front of the woofer driver, and wherein the first tweeter broadcasts a second frequency range of only the first channel, and the second tweeter broadcasts a second frequency range of only the second channel, wherein the second frequency range of the first channel substantially overlaps with the second frequency range of the second channel.

15. A method of making a speaker comprising:

mounting a first tweeter on one side of a woofer so that portions of the first tweeter are disposed inside and outside an outermost perimeter of the woofer as viewed from the front of the woofer; and

mounting a second tweeter on an opposite side of the woofer so that a portion of the second tweeter are disposed inside and outside the outermost perimeter of the woofer, as viewed from the front of the woofer

wherein the first and second tweeters are disposed so as to expose the center of the woofer as viewed from the front of the woofer, and wherein the first and second tweeters are configured to broadcast in the same general direction as the woofer.

16. An office paging system comprising:

a communication system; and

at least one speaker comprising a mounting frame, a woofer driver, and first and second tweeters, configured to broadcast in the same general direction as the woofer driver wherein the first and second tweeters are positioned on the mounting frame, and wherein the first and second tweeters are positioned at diametrically opposite sides of the frame so as to expose the center of the woofer driver as viewed from the front of the woofer driver, and wherein portions of each of the first and second tweeters are disposed inside and outside the outermost perimeter of the woofer driver as viewed from the front of the woofer driver.

17. The office paging system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one speaker is ceiling mounted.

18. The office paging system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one speaker is wall mounted.
