Modularized Loudspeaker System Exterior Aesthetic
20230239600 · 2023-07-27 ·

A loudspeaker design and methodology is disclosed that provides for the customization of a loudspeaker's exterior aesthetic that allows for ongoing and potentially endless graphic and artwork applications including those that can be customer defined. High definition graphics and other artwork are incorporated into panels that are made of various solid/semi-solid/non acoustically transparent material whose artwork and/or design aesthetic can be customer defined for each individual loudspeaker. The panels either separately or combined can have their own unique size, shape and artistic image/aesthetic. The panels are designed such that they require no frames and directly attach to the peripheral (sides, front/back, top, etc) of the enclosure while not covering the vibrating membranes/speaker drivers which would otherwise interfere with and compromise sound propagation and sound quality. The invention also includes methods for attaching the panels to the exterior of the loudspeaker cabinet which are designed to be quickly and easily detached/attached.

Sound production using speaker enclosure with reduced internal pressure
11595753 · 2023-02-28 ·

Techniques are provided for generating sound using a speaker mounted to an enclosure (e.g., speaker cabinet) wherein a gas pressure level (e.g., air pressure level) inside the enclosure is lower than an ambient air pressure level outside the enclosure. The reduced gas pressure level within the enclosure provides an environment with a reduced pressure level at a back side of a speaker cone of the speaker, which enhances a low frequency response for a given speaker size, while also minimizing resonant frequencies and phase cancellation issues which could otherwise occur with conventional speaker systems in which acoustic sound waves are generated at the back side of the speaker cone. A pressure compensation system is utilized counteract a force applied to the front side of the speaker cone as a result of the gas pressure level inside the enclosure being lower than the ambient air pressure level outside the enclosure.
