Patent Review: Loudspeaker Enclosure with a Sealed Acoustic Suspension Chamber

James Croft reviews a design, invented in Sweden, and patented in 2018, of a new approach to an area that has been extensively researched in an effort to improve low-frequency performance in speakers. The specific design under review describes a loudspeaker enclosure housing a sealed acoustic suspension chamber, where a driver and a passive acoustic diaphragm on opposite sides are combined with a first bandpass chamber connected to the sealed chamber by the passive unit in a curved structure.

Enhancing Loudspeaker Efficiency and Bl(x) Symmetry with Virtual Voice Coil, Part 2

This is the second article detailing the design and simulation possibilities of the SpeakerLAB software and its Virtual Voice Coil (VVC) module for speaker designers. This simulation includes complete temperature management involved in loudspeaker calculus. The article also expands on audio transducer parameter prediction such as maximum SPL, analyzes key design components such as the magnetic circuit, and analyses the resulting simulated metrics that could help determine the highest efficiency.

Speaker Box Alignments from Numerical Optimization - The Quasi-Chebyshev Alignment

After seeing many speaker designers returning to trial-and-error approaches that seem to forget the historical work and analytical approach, Lars Risbo decided to explore numerical optimization to synthesize attractive alignments both for reflex and passive radiator box types. This reference article basically expands on Claus Futtrup's "Loudspeaker Bass Reflex Alignments" article series published in audioXpress, and expanded with dedicated articles in Voice Coil.
