Abstract

One embodiment provides a speaker device comprising a first housing including a first top surface comprising a first opening, a first recessed mounting surface spaced below the first opening, and a first recessed sidewall extending upwardly from the first recessed mounting surface to the first opening to form a first waveguide. The speaker device further comprises a first upward-facing driver mounted into the first recessed mounting surface. The first waveguide shapes propagation of acoustic energy generated by the first upward-facing driver to project the acoustic energy out of the speaker device in an upwardly inclined direction.
