Abstract
A vehicle headrest includes a passive directional acoustic device. The passive directional acoustic device includes an acoustic driver, a pipe acoustically coupled to the acoustic driver. The pipe includes an elongated opening along at least a portion of the length of the pipe through which acoustic energy is radiated to the environment. The radiation is characterized by a volume velocity. The pipe and the opening are configured so that the magnitude of the volume velocity is substantially constant along the length of the pipe.
