Honeycomb speaker system
View Patent ↗A hexagonal speaker with six edges (sides) and four drivers. A pair of drivers is embedded on adjacent edges and another pair of drivers is embedded on the opposite edges, while two opposing edges in between each pair of drivers do not have a driver. A down-firing subwoofer is located on the bottom of the speaker. The speaker is raised off the ground so that the subwoofer can output sound without touching the ground. An air vent tube is also located on the bottom of the speaker adjacent to the subwoofer.
1. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
an enclosure with six edges in a hexagonal shape;
a first driver in and aligned with a first edge out of the six edges;
a second driver in and aligned with a second edge out of the six edges, the second edge being adjacent to the first edge;
a third driver in and aligned with a third edge out of the six edges, the third edge being opposite to the first edge; and
a fourth driver in and aligned with a fourth edge out of the six edges, the fourth edge being opposite to the second edge;
a subwoofer on a bottom of the enclosure;
a footing on the bottom of the enclosure configured to raise the enclosure higher than a floor level;
a fifth edge out of the six edges without a driver; and
a sixth edge out of the six edges without a driver.
2. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising an air vent tube on the bottom of the enclosure adjacent to the subwoofer.
3. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are all located in an upper section of their respective edges.
4. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the subwoofer is down-firing.
5. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the hexagonal shape of the enclosure is irregular.
6. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are in a 360 degree surround configuration.
7. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loudspeaker is configured to provide stereo sound.
8. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
an enclosure with six edges in a hexagonal shape;
a first driver in and aligned with a first edge out of the six edges;
a second driver in and aligned with a second edge out of the six edges, the second edge being adjacent to the first edge;
a third driver in and aligned with a third edge out of the six edges, the third edge being opposite to the first edge; and
a fourth driver in and aligned with a fourth edge out of the six edges, the fourth edge being opposite to the second edge;
a subwoofer on a bottom of the enclosure;
a footing on the bottom of the enclosure configured to raise the enclosure higher than a floor level,
wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are all full range speakers.
9. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
a fifth edge out of the six edges without a driver; and
a sixth edge out of the six edges without a driver.
10. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
an enclosure with six edges in a hexagonal shape;
a first driver in a first edge out of the six edges;
a second driver in a second edge out of the six edges, the second edge being adjacent to the first edge;
a third driver in a third edge out of the six edges, the third edge being opposite to the first edge;
a fourth driver in a fourth edge out of the six edges, the fourth edge being opposite to the second edge; a subwoofer on a bottom of the enclosure;
a footing on the bottom of the enclosure configured to raise the enclosure higher than a floor level;
a fifth edge out of the six edges without a driver; and
a sixth edge out of the six edges without a driver.
11. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 10 , further comprising an air vent tube on the bottom of the enclosure adjacent to the subwoofer.
12. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are all located in an upper section of their respective edges.
13. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the subwoofer is down-firing.
14. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the hexagonal shape of the enclosure is irregular.
15. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are all full range speakers.
16. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
an enclosure with six edges in a hexagonal shape;
a first driver in a first edge out of the six edges;
a second driver in a second edge out of the six edges, the second edge being adjacent to the first edge;
a third driver in a third edge out of the six edges, the third edge being opposite to the first edge;
a fourth driver in a fourth edge out of the six edges, the fourth edge being opposite to the second edge; a subwoofer on a bottom of the enclosure; and
a footing on the bottom of the enclosure configured to raise the enclosure higher than a floor level,
wherein the first driver, second driver, third driver, and fourth driver are all full range speakers.
17. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 16 , further comprising an air vent tube on the bottom of the enclosure adjacent to the subwoofer.
