MOTORCYCLE SADDLEBAG SUBWOOFER
20230041938 · 2023-02-09 ·

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a subwoofer housing that may be installed within a motorcycle storage container (also known as a saddlebag). The subwoofer housing may include a subwoofer transducer which when used in conjunction with full range audio transducers within the motorcycle audio system introduces dynamic low frequency harmonics into the overall frequency response. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the subwoofer housing may include an active subwoofer transducer, and a passive radiator transducer, both with downward orientations. The saddlebag including a floor, and one or more air vents in the floor. Sound waves emitted from the active subwoofer transducer and the passive radiator transducer travel through the one or more air vents and reflect in an omni-directional pattern from a road surface to generate greater audible levels of the low frequency sound waves.

A microphone-speaker device includes a speaker, a microphone configured to capture sound and output an audio data signal and a housing configured to contain the microphone and the speaker. The device also includes an electronic circuit having audio electronics coupled to the speaker, an Ethernet interface configured to connect the electronic circuit for communication with a security system through an Ethernet connection, a power extractor for extracting power from the Ethernet connection for powering the electronic circuit and the microphone, and processing electronics configured to process the audio data signal from the microphone.

UNILATERAL DUAL TRANSDUCER STEREO HEADPHONE
20180014101 · 2018-01-11 ·

A headphone in which both the left and right stereo channels are contained within a single earpiece (10) and separated by vertical positioning above (12) and below (14) the ear, rather than each ear receiving one stereo channel, as in traditional headphones. This allows the listener to hear the audio content of both stereo channels with a single ear, while still being able to distinguish between the two channels. The other earpiece of the headphone may be a “dummy” (20) which contains no speaker, and the headphone can be reversed depending on which ear the user wants to listen with. Optionally, the back of each earpiece can be opened, allowing the listener to experience stereo sound in one ear while listening to his/her surroundings with the other.
