Abstract

The present invention is a small high fidelity full spectrum speaker, which arranges a passive speaker and two active speakers such that fidelity of a larger speaker or one with a cross-over network is achieved.

Claims (29)

1. A full spectrum speaker system without use of crossover networks comprising:

a) a speaker enclosure having an inside and an inside bottom;

b) a bass chamber located across the inside bottom of the speaker enclosure ported outside the enclosure having a baffle positioned horizontally above the speaker enclosure bottom forming a bass chamber top;

c) a full spectrum baffle mounted passive speaker ported inside the enclosure and positioned facing the enclosure bottom directly above and facing the ported bass baffle;

d) a first full spectrum baffle mounted active speaker ported inside the enclosure, positioned directly above the passive speaker and facing downward toward the back of the passive speaker in the same direction as the passive speaker; and

e) a second full spectrum baffle mounted active speaker mounted ported outside of the enclosure and facing in a different direction than the first speaker, the second full spectrum active speaker being wired out of phase with the first full spectrum active speaker.

2. The speaker system according to claim 1 which further comprises at least two tubular cylinders positioned inside the enclosure.

3. The speaker system according to claim 2 which comprises a first tubular cylinder positioned inside the enclosure separating the first speaker and the second speaker.

4. The speaker system according to claim 2 which comprises a second tubular cylinder separating the passive speaker and the first speaker.

5. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein a diaphragm of the first speaker and the passive speaker are aligned along the axis of their diaphragm.

6. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the second speaker is positioned about 135 degrees different than the position of the first speaker.

7. The speaker system according to claim 1 which further comprises at least one full spectrum baffle mounted passive speaker ported outside the enclosure.

8. The speaker system according to claim 1 which further comprises at least one additional full spectrum speaker ported outside the enclosure.

9. The speaker system according to claim 8 wherein there are two to three additional full spectrum speakers ported outside the enclosure.

10. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the system is constructed for near field applications.

11. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the internal passive speaker is ported onto the bass chamber.

12. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the bass chamber is from about 80 sq. inches to about 85 sq. inches.

13. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the speaker system is installed in a piece of furniture.

14. The speaker system according to claim 13 wherein the speaker system is mounted inside of a chair.

15. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the speakers of the speaker system are from about three inches to about eight inches in diameter.

16. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the enclosure is from about 500 sq. inches to about 510 sq. inches.

17. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein the speaker system is installed in a lighting fixture.

18. The speaker system according to claim 1 wherein there are a plurality of speaker systems.

19. The speaker system according to claim 18 wherein there are two speakers systems, each with one side baffle 30 degrees off of perpendicular to a front face of each speaker, each such side baffle having an active speaker mounted therein facing outward, and wherein one speaker has a left baffle 30 degrees off perpendicular and the other speaker a right baffle 30 degrees off perpendicular.

20. A full spectrum speaker system without use of crossover networks comprising:

a) a speaker enclosure having an inside and an inside bottom;

b) a full spectrum baffle mounted passive speaker ported inside the enclosure and positioned facing the enclosure inside bottom;

c) a first full spectrum baffle mounted active speaker ported inside the enclosure, positioned directly above the passive speaker and facing downward toward the back of the passive speaker in the same direction as the passive speaker; and

d) a second full spectrum baffle mounted active speaker mounted ported outside of the enclosure and facing in a different direction than the first speaker, the second full spectrum active speaker being wired out of phase with the first full spectrum active speaker.
