A low-frequency loudspeaker is provided comprising an enclosure having a front, a back and a sidewall. An audio speaker is mounted in an opening in the front of the enclosure. The audio speaker has a diaphragm for producing front sound waves that are transmitted outwardly from the diaphragm and back sound waves that are transmitted into the enclosure from the diaphragm. A spiral waveguide is positioned within the enclosure. The spiral waveguide has a first end proximal to the speaker diaphragm for receiving the back sound waves and extends outwardly therefrom in a spiral pattern to a second end that forms a low-frequency terminus exit port opening in the sidewall.

A video system and method are presented that uses an output-receiving microphone mounted on the housing of the video system to receive a signal representative of the output of a speaker in a use-environment. This signal is compared with a second signal received from a spoken-word microphone that is mounted more remotely from the speaker. In some embodiments, the spoken-word microphone is positioned in a low-pass filter tune pipe and is combined with a separate spoken-word microphone in a tuned microphone array so as to filter out frequencies not associated with the human voice. The two signals are magnitude matched, and the first signal is subtracted from the second to generate an improved voice signal for a voice recognition system.

A sound-receiving system is provided, including: a sound-guiding tube, a microphone, and an acoustic perforated sheet. The sound-guiding tube has a winding path, including a first end, a second end, and a sound-receiving hole. The second end is opposite the first end. The sound-receiving hole is disposed at the first end. The microphone is abutted against the second end. The acoustic perforated sheet is disposed adjacent to the sound-receiving hole and is a distance away from the sound-receiving hole. The sound-receiving hole is offset from the microphone. The acoustic perforated sheet reduces and filters the frequency response of a specific frequency range of the microphone.

Electronics devices according to embodiments of the present technology may include a first loudspeaker and a second loudspeaker disposed in a housing. The housing may define a first internal volume between a first end of the housing and a backside of the first loudspeaker. The housing may define a second internal volume between a second end of the housing and a backside of the second loudspeaker. The first loudspeaker and the second loudspeaker may be positioned within the housing so a front side of the first loudspeaker faces a front side of the second loudspeaker. A duct may be defined by the housing, which may access the first internal volume at a first end and may access the second internal volume at a second end. The electronic device may also include a processor configured to deliver signals to the first loudspeaker and the second loudspeaker.

A headphone device includes a housing, a sound generator and a tube. The housing includes a main body and a cover plate. The cover plate includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is disposed towards the main body and connected to the main body to form an internal space. The second surface is disposed opposite to the first surface. The sound generator is disposed in the internal space. The tube includes a tubular body, a first end and a second end. The tubular body is disposed between the first end and the second end. The tubular body has a cross section which is in a closed shape. The second surface of the cover plate is disposed towards the tubular body. The tubular body and the second surface are disposed in parallel or have an included angle less than twenty degrees.

Provided is a wearable speaker system that can obtain a higher sense of presence through reproduction of bass. A wearable speaker system includes an enclosure, in which a first speaker unit and a first opening portion that is an end of a first bass reflex duct are disposed in a first end region of the enclosure, in which a second speaker unit and a second opening portion that is an end of a second bass reflex duct are disposed in a second end region, in which each of the first and second speaker units and includes a speaker and a passive radiator that faces in an opposite direction from the speaker, and in which a space between the speaker and the passive radiator included in each of the first and second speaker units and is connected to a space in the enclosure.

Disclosed herein is a grill-integrated low-pass filter. The grill-integrated low-pass filter includes a conduit-type low-pass filter part in which a sound conduit is formed inside an internal space of a grill, which is a mechanism assembled and used in a housing, in an empty tubular form, and the conduit-type low-pass filter part is integrated with the grill. According to the present invention, there are provided the grill-integrated low-pass filter that is designed in a structure in which the sound conduit is formed inside the internal space of the grill disposed and used in a housing in order to protect a speaker driver, etc. and is thus fabricated in a grill-integrated form, thereby achieving the effects of improving the sound quality of the speaker and reducing characteristic deviations in a low-frequency band.

A mechanical frequency upconverter includes a body having a cavity. A low-frequency membrane is coupled to the body and arranged adjacent to the cavity. The low-frequency membrane is a permanent magnet or a permanent magnet is affixed to the low-frequency membrane. A high-frequency membrane is coupled to the body and arranged adjacent to the cavity. The high-frequency membrane includes a magnetic metal. Oscillation of the low-frequency membrane at a first frequency causes the high-frequency membrane to oscillate at a second frequency, which is higher than the first frequency.
