An audio speaker includes an enclosure having a coupling chamber and a loading chamber, at least m radiating drivers, and at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s), wherein m is at least two. The coupling chamber acts to couple the at least m radiating drivers and the at least m−1 loading driver(s), for example, and the loading chamber acts to load the loading driver(s). The at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s) may have a higher sensitivity than the at least m radiating drivers and the at least m radiating drivers may be arranged within the enclosure to minimize a volume of the coupling chamber. In other embodiments, the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s) may be other types of inducers (e.g., an undriven loading driver(s), a drone cone, a port, or combinations thereof).
An audio speaker, comprising:
An audio speaker, comprising:
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein the coupling chamber acts to couple a non-radiating face of the at least m radiating drivers and the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s).
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein each of the at least m radiating drivers radiate into a listening space.
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein at least one of the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s) communicates with the loading chamber.
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein a volume of the loading chamber is substantially the same as a volume of the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s).
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s) is positioned at least partially within the loading chamber.
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein at least one of the at least one and no more than m−1 loading driver(s) is larger in size than the at least m radiating drivers.
The audio speaker of claim 31, wherein the loading chamber includes one of a port or a drone cone.
An audio speaker, comprising:
