Abstract
Abstract An improved loud speaker system which when connected to a monophonic electronic source will produce a stero-like sound. The system consists of a speaker cabinet which is divided into two separate chambers by means of a central partition. Each chamber contains a loudspeaker behind openings in the front wall. The front wall is covered on its outer side by acoustical grill cloth. The loudspeakers are electrically connected in a parallel circuit. One of the chambers is sealed on all sides while the other chamber has a series of openings through its rear wall.
