ABSTRACT:
A wide dispersion baffle for a vertically oriented loudspeaker includes a first semi-conical reflective section that is concave toward the speaker and has a semicircular rim positioned at the periphery of the speaker. It extends at an angle of about 45.degree. to the radiation axis of the speaker to its apex on the speaker axis. A second semi-conical reflective section is convex toward the speaker and extends from the apex of the first semiconical section at substantially the same 45.degree. angle with respect to the speaker radiation axis. Sound emanating from the vertically directed speaker is reflected by both the concave and convex semi-conical reflector sections in a pattern centered about a substantially horizontal plane, but the sound is reflected through widely diverging angles in such horizontal plane. Baffle arrangements can provide horizonal dispersion patterns of any angular width between about 180.degree. and 360.degree..
