1. A speaker apparatus comprising:
- a first speaker configured to output a first sound of a sound signal via a first slit;
a second speaker configured to output a second sound of the sound signal via a second slit; and
a controller configured to control the first speaker and the second speaker,wherein the controller determines whether the speaker apparatus is disposed on a vertical plane, obtains a first signal of a first sound including an elevation effect from the sound signal and a second signal of a second sound including low directivity from the sound signal, and controls the first speaker to output the first sound via the first slit and controls the second speaker to output the second sound via the second slit if it is determined that the speaker apparatus is disposed on the vertical plane,wherein the speaker apparatus further comprises at least two slidable plates, andthe first slit from among slits between the at least two slidable plates is located in one direction of the speaker apparatus and the second slit from among the slits between the at least two slidable plates is located in an opposite direction from the first slit.

Abstract
An apparatus including a first speaker configured to output higher-frequency sound from among sound of a channel via at least one slit, and a second speaker configured to output lower-frequency sound from among the sound of the channel via at least one other slit. The at least one slit may have a thickness that is less than a wavelength of sound emitted.

12. A method of outputting sound by a speaker apparatus including a first speaker and a second speaker, the method comprising:
-
determining whether the speaker apparatus is disposed on a vertical plane, the first speaker being configured to output a first sound of a sound signal via a first slit and the second speaker being configured to output a second sound of the sound signal via a second slit; obtaining a first signal of a first sound including an elevation effect from the sound signal and a second signal of a second sound including low directivity from the sound signal to be output; and outputting the first sound by the first speaker via the first slit and the second sound by the second speaker via the second slit in response to determining that the speaker apparatus is disposed on the vertical plane, wherein the speaker apparatus further comprises at least two slidable plates, and the first slit from among slits between the at least two slidable plates is located in one direction of the speaker apparatus and the second slit from among the slits between the at least two slidable plates is located in an opposite direction from the first slit. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
