Voice Coil Patent Review: Two Key Resonado Patents

James Croft looks at two patents from Resonado Labs, the young speaker company that has been pursuing a new speaker topology — originally called Flat Core Speaker (FCS), and now rebranded as Res-Core — using a reconfigured speaker with a planar voice coil mounted perpendicularly to its flat diaphragm. This review covers two of the company's patents granted in 2022, titled "Speaker Comprising Split Gap Plate Structure," and "Flat Speaker Driven by a Single Permanent Magnet and One or More Voice Coils.".

Resonado, the technology startup that is now ready to bring to market its patented Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology introduced at CES 2020, announced that Catharina Lavers Mallet has joined the Resonado board of advisors. Mallet, a former Bose Corporation executive with significant experience in both startup and large corporate environments, will work with Resonado’s executive team to hone strategic direction and mature their operating model as the company expands its licensing efforts.
