Abstract

A speaker system comprises a first speaker subsystem comprising a first active driver and a first passive radiator that is forward facing; and a second speaker subsystem comprising a second active driver and a second passive radiator that is backward facing. The first speaker subsystem has a corner frequency that is a first predetermined harmonic of the resonance frequency of the first passive radiator, and the first active driver has a resonance frequency that is a second predetermined harmonic of the resonance frequency of the first passive radiator. The second speaker subsystem has a corner frequency that is the first predetermined harmonic of the resonance frequency of the second passive radiator, and the second active driver has a resonance frequency that is the second predetermined harmonic of the resonance frequency of the second passive radiator.
