1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a speaker system which due to its unique construction and arrangement of midrange, tweeter and woofer units reproduces sound of a special spatial effect and eliminates or minimizes distortions inherent in conventional speaker systems.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The following U.S. patents constitute the prior art relevant to the application, as known to applicant.
______________________________________ Patent No. 3,931,867 JANSZEN 1976 Patent No. 3,947,635 FRANKMAN 1976 Patent No. 3,385,929 MAGYAR 1968 ______________________________________
JANSZEN refers to a speaker system, in which midrange, woofer and tweeter components are compactly housed within a single speaker unit.
FRANKMAN concerns an integrated stero speaker system, having overtone and treble drivers in common enclosures mounted on vertical poles, flanking a bass enclosure placed in a co-planar position therewith.
MAGYAR is directed to a sterophonic system on a turntable unit.
None of the above cited patents discloses a speaker system, having separate self contained woofer, tweeter and midrange drivers and, therefore, should be considered irrelevant in determining the patentability of the present invention.
One of the major drawbacks of the conventional type speaker systems is that the drivers radiate the various frequencies in an artificially "localized" manner, so that the listener actually perceives e.g., the high frequency sounds as emanating directly from the tweeter and mid-frequencies from the midrange.
