Voice coil actuators and loudspeakers containing same. The voice coil actuators include moving voice coil assemblies that have multiple segments. Each segment of a moving voice coil assembly is separately controlled by an amplifier, one channel of an amplifier, and combinations thereof utilized in combination with a position sensor that senses the position of the moving voice coil assembly. By this arrangement, the voice coil actuators produce a linear force per unit current throughout the range of motion while obtaining the benefits and advantages associated with both over-hung and under-hung voice coil actuator designs.

The invention provides a loudspeaker with a fin-reinforced voice coil structure, comprising a voice coil, fins, an upper magnetic conductor, and a magnetic conduction column, wherein a magnetic gap is formed between the upper magnetic conductor and the magnetic conduction column located in the center thereof; the voice coil works in the magnetic gap; wherein the inner wall of the voice coil is connected to the fins; wherein one end of each fin is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the voice coil; wherein the magnetic conduction column is provided with fin grooves for accommodating the other ends of the fins; wherein the width of the fin grooves is at least 0.2 mm greater than the thickness of the fins, so that the balance performance and the stability of the voice coil are greatly improved. The distortion is greatly reduced compared, by measurement, with the traditional voice coil.

A flat plate audio transducer. A front panel and a back panel are connected via a frame. One or more electromagnetic actuators are mounted between the two panels. Voice coils are used as the actuators in some embodiments. Stiffening braces are preferably run between groups of actuators to prevent unwanted resonance phenomena. In some embodiments an actuator array moves both the front and back panels. In other embodiments only one panel is moved.

The present invention relates to a hybrid movable coil plate and a flat panel speaker, and more particularly, to a hybrid movable coil plate and a flat panel speaker which have improved acoustic pressure of the speaker by attaching a coil pattern printed on one surface of the movable coil plate and a copper wire coil wound on the other surface to increase inductive electromotive force. A hybrid movable coil plate for a flat panel speaker is characterized by including a spirally wound copper wire coil attached on one surface thereof and a PCB coil pattern-printed on the other surface thereof, wherein the copper wire coil and the PCB coil are formed in track shapes, a pair of lead wire connection ends are formed, and copper foils are formed in one or more via holes for electrical connection between the copper wire coil and the PCB coil, and in the vicinity of at least one among the one or more via holes.

Method and electronic circuit for determining a scaling factor k for a driving force function of a model of an electrodynamic acoustic transducer having at least two voice coils. Input signal fed into the transducer and it's model cause electromotive forces. A shift for the driving force function is determined on the base of the ratios between the real electromotive forces and the modeled electromotive forces. Finally, the scaling factor k is determined on the basis of a deviation between the real electromotive forces and the modeled electromotive forces at time points where the real electromotive forces and the modeled electromotive forces each are equal. The invention moreover relates to an electronic circuit for performing the above steps, and to a transducer system with the electronic circuit and a connected transducer.

Disclosed is a sound transducer, which can be assembled, integrated or installed primarily in the consumer, pro audio, installation and automotive sectors on land, water and air with minimal space requirements, use of materials and weight. The transducer includes a ring sound wave shaper having a very flat, thin multi-layered, flexible membrane, which generates point-shaped or ring-shaped sound within the membrane diameter.

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.
