Abstract
Customizable waveguides for use in a loudspeaker and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the waveguide includes a frame and a waveguide insert sealably couplable to the frame. The frame can include a first end region that can be coupled to a compression driver in the loudspeaker and a second end region opposite the first end region. The second end region can be coupled to a front baffle of the loudspeaker when the first end region is coupled to the compression driver. Further, the frame can be symmetric about vertical and/or horizontal axes of the frame. The waveguide insert can include a first half-horn couplable to a first longitudinal half of the frame, a second half-horn couplable to a second longitudinal half of the frame opposite the first longitudinal half, and a divider positioned between the first half-horn and the second half-horn.
