Abstract
An acoustic system that includes an acoustic assembly and a sound system. The acoustic assembly at least includes a tube removably attached to a compression driver. Additionally, the acoustic assembly includes either a waveguide or a deflector. Either the waveguide or the deflector is also removably attached to the tube. The sound system communicates with the acoustic assembly and includes a filter. The filter includes a filter length that is based on an impulse response of the acoustic assembly. As part of the communication, the sound system sends an audio signal, which has been filtered by the filter, to the acoustic assembly. In response to the audio signal, the compression driver generates a sound wave that travels through the acoustic assembly. While traveling, the acoustic assembly transitions the sound wave from generally traveling in a first direction to a second direction.
