Abstract
A modular audio loudspeaker array system. The system includes a first speaker module, and a second speaker module, constructed and arranged to radiate sound waves responsive to audio signals. Sound waves radiated by the first speaker module and the sound waves radiated by the second speaker module combine to form a radiation pattern. The system further includes a positioning system, for positioning the first bass module relative to the second bass module at a plurality of fixed predetermined distances; an audio signal input terminal electronically for coupling the loudspeaker array to a source of the audio signals for receiving the audio signals; an audio signal processing device, electronically coupling the audio signal input terminal to the first bass module and to the second bass module, for processing the audio signals and transmitting the audio signals to the first speaker module and to the second loudspeaker module. The audio signal processing device is constructed and arranged to apply a first signal processing parameter value to the audio signals transmitted to the first loudspeaker module and a second signal processing parameter value to the audio signals transmitted to th…
