High displacement acoustic transducer systems

Abstract

Acoustic transducer systems are described herein and in particular, acoustic transducer systems involving high displacement are described. An example acoustic transducer system includes an acoustic driver, a diaphragm position sensing module for generating a position signal corresponding to a displacement of a diaphragm of the acoustic driver, and a controller operable to: receive an input audio signal; generate a control signal based at least on the input audio signal and the position signal; and transmit the control signal to a voice coil operably coupled to the diaphragm so that the voice coil moves within an air gap within the acoustic driver at least partially in response to the control signal. A height of the voice coil can correspond substantially to a gap height in some embodiments.
