A loudspeaker system with an endfire array of three or more loudspeakers (Z n , n = 3, 4, ..N) arranged on a line. The system has a set of filters (F n , n = 3, 4, ..N), each loudspeaker (Z n ) being connected to one corresponding filter (F n ). The filters (F n ) are super resolution beamforming filters such as to provide the endfire array with a pre-designed directivity index (DI) and a pre-designed noise sensitivity (NS).
