A loudspeaker assembly including a wedge-shaped acoustic waveguide and an audio driver. The wedge-shaped acoustic waveguide includes a first face including a slot opening formed therein, a second face joined at an edge with the first face, the second face tilted relative to the first face by a first angle, and a surface disposed opposite the edge and connected between the first face and the second face. The audio driver is coupled to the second face such that the audio driver is tilted at the first angle relative to the first face. The first face is oriented to face in a first direction and the audio driver is oriented to face in a second direction. A pressure level of sound energy emitted by the audio driver is greater along the second direction than the first direction. A vehicle comprising: a passenger cabin, a pillar extending upwards at a first angle relative to the passenger cabin, and the loudspeaker assembly installed on the pillar.
