US Patent 10356512 Unified wavefront full-range waveguide for a loudspeaker

A loudspeaker may include a full-range waveguide for creating a unified wavefront. The waveguide may include a plurality of entrances, which may be positioned at a first axial end. The waveguide may include a mouth disposed at a second axial end opposite the plurality of entrances. A contoured surface extending between the entrance and the mouth defines a cavity within the waveguide. The contoured surface may include a first pair of walls positioned opposite one another and a second pair of walls positioned opposite one another. The waveguide may include at least one integrator disposed in the cavity between two adjacent entrances. Each integrator may extend transversely between the first pair of walls and may taper towards the mouth to form a pointed edge extending between the first pair of walls. A pair of integrator surfaces each include a solid portion and a perforated portion.
