Transducer displacement protection

摘要

This invention relates to the mechanical protection using digital processing and a predictive estimation of instantaneous displacement of the voice coil in a loudspeaker transducer. The invention solves the problem of limiting the coil displacement of the transducer by applying a look-a-head based linear or non-linear predictor and a controller operating directly on the displacement signal in order to finally convert back into the incoming signal domain.
