The invention relates to a
loudspeaker system or device configured such that the
sound field generated by the
system or device is controllable. The
system or device comprises Left (16, 18; 41, 43) and Right (15, 17; 42, 46)
loudspeaker arrangements configured for radiating at least mid and
high frequency sounds to the surroundings (R) and for controlling the sound
radiation pattern (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26) of the left and right
loudspeaker arrangements, respectively, such that the beam width and / or direction of the
main lobe of the
directivity pattern for the respective Left and Right loudspeaker arrangements can be varied; and at least one
signal processor configured to process the signals to be provided to the loudspeakers of the respective loudspeaker arrangements such that the directional characteristics of the loudspeakers in each respective arrangement can be varied. The system or device may further comprise a
low frequency arrangement comprising an arrangement of one or more loudspeakers (11, 12, 13, 14, 37) mounted in an
enclosure (1) and configured such that the loudspeakers radiates
sound energy to the surroundings (R). The
low frequency arrangement may be configured as a bass-
reflex enclosure with a wide port region. By means of the system or device according to the invention, the resulting directional characteristic of the system or device can be adapted to numerous specific use situations, for instance to obtain a stereo-stabilizing effect on a perceived
sound image.
