Method and apparatus for enhanced stimulation of the limbic auditory response

摘要

A loudspeaker system for the optimization of sound production so as to achieve limbic and cortical arousal, comprising a resistance-controlled (or partially mass-controlled) woofer system, a mass-controlled (or partially resistance-controlled) midrange system, and a resistance-controlled tweeter system. This system may further comprise crossover networks of a particular configuration. By use of unsymmetrical networks of low order, it is possible to obtain a complete system which exhibits flat delay response.

1. A speaker system, comprising:
a resistance-controlled transducer, coupled to a unsymmetrical crossover network adapted to remove causal delay, said transducer comprising a diaphragm or cone with a voice coil, and a motor with a pole-piece with a conductive shorting ring, said shorting ring located in close proximity to and at the same height as the voice coil; and a mass-controlled transducer, coupled to the unsymmetrical crossover network adapted to remove causal delay, said transducer comprising a diaphragm or cone with a voice coil, and a motor with a pole-piece with a conductive shorting ring, said shorting ring located in close proximity to and at the same height as the voice coil; wherein electrical input impedance to the system is independent of frequency in both magnitude and phase; and further wherein the speaker system exhibits flat delay response.
