20160094909 | Vertically and Horizontally Balanced Subwoofer - A speaker system, particularly useful as a subwoofer, comprises an enclosure with one acoustic transducer facing to the right and one acoustic transducer facing to the left, which effectively cancels out transducer cone mass induced vibration within the enclosure. The enclosure also has one passive radiator facing up and one passive radiator facing down. The passive radiator facing down effectively couples acoustic energy at very low frequencies into the floor. The passive radiators each have a rather a large area and high mass. The large, high mass, bottom mounted passive radiator will produce large amounts of enclosure vibration, and so to cancel this vibration, the upper passive radiator is of substantially the same mass and size. The resulting system will be vibrationally balanced on all axes while simultaneously effectively coupling low frequency energy onto the floor of the listening room with good efficiency. | 03-31-2016 |

By keeping the center of rotation at or near the center of the surface of the tweeter, the adjustment of the tweeter does not significantly offset its body in the X or Y direction through its range of motion. Such configuration allows for compensation of the distortion caused by placing the tweeter in the middle of a woofer in a speaker having multiple transducers in a single assembly. | 12-23-2010 |
20130156218 | Enclosure System With Acoustic Element - Watertight enclosures for digital audio devices include one or more diaphragms for transmitting sound to and/or from the digital device's audio transducers, such as speakers and microphones. To mitigate standing waves and/or prominent natural frequencies, a central portion of the diaphragm is wavy with a relatively low Q (Young's modulus). The central portion is encircled by a peripheral web portion that is relatively thin to provide the central portion with spring support. In some examples, the diaphragm also includes a seal for sealing against the digital device's housing to create a generally closed air chamber between the diaphragm and the audio transducer. The closed air chamber promotes sound transfer between the diaphragm and the audio transducer. The closed air chamber can also reduce crosstalk between a microphone and a proximate speaker. In some examples, a relatively soft diaphragm and a harder enclosure are created using plastic injection overmolding. | 06-20-2013 |
