Abstract

The present invention includes a loudspeaker system in which sound radiation axes of two speakers in a single loudspeaker unit form an angle with respect to each other in a horizontal plane to increase the size of a listening area. The horizontal angle can be formed by orienting the sound axes of speakers in the loudspeaker unit at an angle in the range of 15 to 45 degrees from each other. The system also includes a phase adjustment system which adjusts the phase of the speakers in each loudspeaker unit so that the phase of the sound from each speaker in each loudspeaker unit is properly adjusted throughout the increased listening area to provide increased sound presence or spread.
