Abstract
A loudspeaker system which comprises a loudspeaker unit for radiating a first sound, a horn unit having a throat coupled to the back of the loudspeaker for radiating a second sound, and an acoustic filter provided in the horn for causing an acoustic impedance of the horn unit to be discontinuous. When the minimum frequency of cyclic dales of the sound pressure observed in the characteristic curves of a sound pressure of a composite of the first and second sounds as a result of a phase delay brought about by the length of the horn unit is expressed by fd, a primary harmonic resonance can be produced between the loudspeaker unit and the acoustic filter which is similar to that produced by a straight acoustic tube having its opposite ends closed, thereby to render the frequency of the primary resonance to be generally equal to the frequency fd.
