The present document describes techniques associated with a textile-material model for vibroacoustic structural simulation. The techniques described herein provide a nontrivial methodology to test a textile and simplify its representation, which can enable prediction of acoustic performance (e.g., rub and buzz) of an electronic-speaker device having a textile mounted thereon. The textile is modeled as a textile-material model based on an elongation stiffness obtained from a time-temperature superposition curve of the textile, which is based on a dynamic mechanical analysis test of the textile in each of course and wale directions. The textile-material model is then applied to an assembly model of the electronic-speaker device to simulate a vibroacoustic response of the textile relative to the assembly model to predict a likelihood of rub and buzz.

An audio loudspeaker system for reproducing frequencies between 16 Hz and 700 Hz, comprising a loudspeaker housing defining an inner resonance chamber and at least two loudspeaker drivers arranged in the housing and having front faces arranged facing each other in an opposed manner. The housing comprises vertical wall elements arranged with a distance approximately defining a width of the resonance chamber, where each wall element comprises first and second side surfaces and a circumferential edge surface. A first side surface of the wall elements constitutes and inner surface of the housing and partly defines an enclosure of the resonance chamber, and a second side surface of the wall elements constitutes exterior side surfaces of the audio loudspeaker system. The loudspeaker drivers are arranged within substantially hemispherical cups arranged on the second side surfaces of the wall elements and enclosing the loudspeaker drivers in a close manner.

A wearable audio device including first and second transducer modules is provided. The first transducer module may include a first transducer. The first transducer module may further include a first enclosure having a top side defining a first slit and a bottom side defining a second slit. The first enclosure may be configured to guide a first sound pressure through the first slit, and a second sound pressure through the second slit. The second transducer module may include a second transducer. The second transducer module may include a second enclosure having a top side defining a third slit and a bottom side defining a fourth slit. The second enclosure may be configured to guide a third sound pressure through the third slit, and a fourth sound pressure through the fourth slit. The third and fourths slit may be arranged diagonally opposite the first and second slits, respectively.

A loudspeaker device includes first and second diaphragms arranged co-axially in an opposed relation to each other and having a rear volume in-between, each diaphragm having a plurality of motors operatively coupled thereto, and a frame having first and second ends, and first and second rims provided at the first and second ends, respectively. The motors of the first and second diaphragms are arranged in the same plane, and the motors are provided on the frame around the periphery of the first and second diaphragms.

A filter that may increase and extend, the bass frequency response of a speaker of an audio device. The filter may be space-efficient. The filter may be part of a device that does not necessarily have a large rear cavity and that does not necessarily have porting and/or passive radiating. The low-frequency extension filter may be used, for example, with a smaller rear cavity while essentially simulating the acoustic effects of a much larger rear cavity. The low-frequency extension filter may include a plurality of acoustic pathways, such as tubes, which may wind around along a tortuous path and which may resemble a labyrinthine design. The tubes may be selected to resonate with particular predetermined low frequency channels. For example, the tubes may be approximately a quarter wavelength of the center of the corresponding frequency channel, or even slightly shorter.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to inductive acoustic filters for acoustic devices. An inductive filter may include a substrate, an etched serpentine channel in a surface of the substrate and extending within the substrate from a first port in the substrate to a second port in the substrate. The inductive filter may also include a polymer cover layer adhesively attached to the surface of the substrate over the etched serpentine channel. The inductive filter may be positioned over an opening in a substrate of an acoustic module, such as a microphone module or a speaker module.

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a noise-reducing loudspeaker and systems implementing such. In one aspect, a loudspeaker apparatus comprises a diaphragm. The diaphragm comprises an acoustic layer configured to emit output sounds toward a first side of the loudspeaker apparatus; and a first sound attenuation layer configured to attenuate sounds passing from a second side of the loudspeaker apparatus to the first side through the diaphragm, where the first sound attenuation layer is positioned nearer to the second side relative to the acoustic layer.

A stiffening part (25) arranged to be integrated into the interior of a casing (12) of an audio speaker (11) in order to stiffen said casing, the audio speaker also being capable of comprising at least one loudspeaker (18a) mounted on a first face (14) of the casing, the stiffening part comprising a connecting portion, at least one damping support defining a receiving space arranged to receive a damping device (40a) for intended to limit vibrations of the loudspeaker, wherein the damping support comprises a plurality of ribs (34) distributed around the receiving space (31), each rib extending in a distinct plane parallel to a depth of the receiving space, the stiffening part being arranged such that, when the enclosure (11) is assembled, the connecting portion interconnects inner walls of a second (15) of the casing and a third face (16) of the casing opposite each other and both perpendicular to the first face (14), the damping device being positioned in the receiving space, and a rear portion of the loudspeaker abutting the damping device.

An active acoustics management system for the loudspeaker back-enclosure, including a first loudspeaker having a front side and a back side connected by side walls, the front facing in a first direction, is presented. An enclosure surrounds a portion of the first loudspeaker, such that the enclosure is open about the front side of the first loudspeaker and is closed about the side walls and the back side of the loudspeaker. A second loudspeaker is disposed within the enclosure behind the first loudspeaker, the second loudspeaker being oriented to output waveforms in the first direction, wherein the second loudspeaker is adapted to output waveforms in the first direction thereby to cancel at least some waveforms emanating from the back side of the first loudspeaker, using active control strategies.

A loudspeaker arrangement having a first loudspeaker comprising a first sound radiating surface and a first loudspeaker basket, and a second loudspeaker comprising a second sound radiating surface and a second loudspeaker basket. The first loudspeaker and the second loudspeaker are arranged opposite each other in a first direction, a cavity is formed between a front side of the first loudspeaker and a front side of the second loudspeaker, and the first loudspeaker basket is directly coupled to the second loudspeaker basket.
