Abstract: Method of audio power reduction and thermal mitigation using psychoacoustic techniques starts by receiving a decoded audio signal in a reproduction system. Decoded audio signal is a signal that is decompressed and to be played back by a speaker. A masking curve is generated based on psychoacoustic models and the decoded audio signal. The masking curve is applied to the decoded audio signal to remove unheard frequencies and to generate a power-reduced audio signal. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to speakers and more specifically to an array speaker for distributing music uniformly across a room. A number of audio drivers can be radially distributed within a speaker housing so that an output of the drivers is distributed evenly throughout the room. In some embodiments, the exit geometry of the audio drivers can be configured to bounce off a surface supporting the array speaker to improve the distribution of music throughout the room. The array speaker can include a number of vibration isolation elements distributed within a housing of the array speaker. The vibration isolation elements can be configured reduce the strength of forces generated by a subwoofer of the array speaker.

Abstract: Loudspeakers are described that may reduce comb filtering effects perceived by a listener by either 1) moving transducers closer to a sound reflective surface (e.g., a baseplate, a tabletop or a floor) through vertical (height) or rotational adjustments of the transducers or 2) guiding sound produced by the transducers to be released into the listening area proximate to the reflective surface through the use of horns and openings that are at a prescribed distance from the reflective surface. The reduction of this distance between the reflective surface and the point at which sound emitted by the transducers is released into the listening area may lead to shorter reflected path that reduces comb filtering effects caused by reflected sounds that are delayed relative to the direct sound. Accordingly, the loudspeakers shown and described may be placed on reflective surfaces without severe audio coloration caused by reflected sounds.

Abstract: A coil assembly is coupled to a diaphragm. The coil assembly has a number of coils that are fixed in a stacked, end to end manner along a length axis. The coils include a middle coil, a several upper coils and several lower coils. Each coil has a respective pair of coil terminals so that it can be independently driven by an audio signal. The coil assembly as a whole is overhung, while each of constituent coils is underhung so that there are at least two adjacent coils that are completely within the magnetic gap, and at least two other coils that are completely outside the magnetic gap, during a majority of the full excursion of the coil assembly. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
