ABSTRACT:
An array loudspeaker is constructed by stacking loudspeaker rows in a plurality of stages, each of the loudspeaker rows being formed by arranging loudspeaker elements in the form of a horizontal line. The loudspeaker rows are arranged in a zigzag form by, for example, offsetting the positions of the loudspeakers in the left and right direction for each stage. As for a high range signal, a two-stage portion of halves of the loudspeaker rows is used to narrow the pitch of the loudspeaker elements so as to prevent the grating lobe. As for a low range signal, the entire single-stage loudspeaker row is used to alleviate the deviation with respect to the directivity characteristics of the high range.
