Abstract

A nondirectional acoustic generator includes two acoustic generator units which are disposed facing each other as near as possible to the extent that diaphragms thereof do not become in contact with each other, drive units of the acoustic generator units being connected in series or in parallel to drive the acoustic generator units in phase and generate air compression sound waves which are radiated in the circumferential direction of the diaphragms. A speaker system includes a plurality of nondirectional acoustic generators coaxially disposed so as to align the centers of respective diaphragms and make the phases at sound generating areas coincident with each other.
