Omni directional unified communications system tabletop audio device using two or more loudspeakers

Abstract

An acoustic waveguide for use in a unified communications system conference room audio device is described herein, wherein the acoustic waveguide is a generally shepherds-hook shaped object, comprising: a lower, substantially planar non-acoustic wave interfacing surface; and a concave or convex shaped upper acoustic wave interfacing surface, wherein the concave or convex upper acoustic wave interfacing surface comprises a concave or convex shaped surface with a substantially continuously and linearly changing radius from a lower end to an upper end, and wherein when used with a substantially similar second acoustic waveguide that is similarly positioned within the audio device, but wherein the second acoustic waveguide is a mirrored opposite of the first acoustic waveguide, the combination of the two acoustic waveguides are adapted to generate a substantially uniform sound pressure level and radiation pattern about the audio device when each receive respective acoustic audio waves from respective loudspeakers located at substantially similar heights above the respective acoustic waveguides.
