Complementary Asymmetric Transducer Configuration for lower distortion and extended range

摘要

An improved loudspeaker system includes an asymmetrical array of dissimilar drivers, namely a first driver and a second complementary driver configured in an array and driven in parallel so that the measured on-axis frequency response and the output power (SPL) is improved as compared to a symmetrical array (with similar or matched midrange or mid-bass drivers), while retaining a flat tonal balance. This speaker system and method for voicing was discovered to provide lower distortion, improved frequency response and greater clarity as compared to the prior art or traditional (e.g., MTM) loudspeaker configurations.

主权项

1. An improved loudspeaker system, comprising:
at least a first driver having a first set of acoustic parameters and a second complementary driver having a second set of acoustic parameters which are different than, but complementary to the acoustic parameters of the first driver's parameters, wherein the first driver and the second driver are configured upon a surface or within an enclosure to combine and act as one driver when driven with the same drive signal.
