Abstract(in English) We propose a speaker array that combines multiple speakers with one small horn speaker. The horn speaker is mainly good at high frequency control, and the speaker array is mainly good at low frequency directivity control. By using both different speakers to form directivity, we aim to form directivity in a wider frequency band. In the experiment, an array was assembled with a horn speaker of about 10 cm and three speakers, and the filter was designed by the boundary sound field control method. As a result, it was confirmed that the directivity equal to or higher than that of the normal speaker array and the horn speaker alone can be formed in the band of 250 Hz or higher.
