Abstract
An improved loudspeaker system is disclosed which includes a passive electrical network between the speaker input and the output of a speaker driver for reproducing bass frequencies. The loudspeaker uses a closed box system and obtains an extended low frequency response through the use of critical relationships in the passive electrical network including high order transfer functions.
Claims3
An improved loudspeaker system comprising the combination of:
- a loudspeaker driver;
- a closed box loudspeaker;
- a passive electrical network for extending the loudspeaker response by performing a fourth-order transfer function;
- means coupling said passive electrical network between said loudspeaker and the output of a loudspeaker driver;
- said network comprising a shunt coupled inductance and a series coupled capacitor;
- and
- a combination of said shunt coupled inductance and said series coupled capacitor in parallel resonance with the loudspeaker voice coil resistance being tuned to about 0.569 times the half power frequency of the driver with a Q of about 0.890.

An improved loudspeaker system comprising the combination of:
- a closed box loudspeaker;
- a passive electrical network for extending the loudspeaker response;
- means coupling said passive electrical network between said loudspeaker and the output of a loudspeaker driver;
- said network comprising a coupling capacitor having a capacity of about three times an equivalent capacity C representing the combined mass of the diaphragm of said loudspeaker and the mass of the moved air;
- and
- said equivalent capacity C and an equivalent inductance L of the loudspeaker being tuned with a Q of 1/.sqroot.2 to a frequency higher by a factor of about 1.061 than the half power frequency of the driver where L equals Cm.times.(Bl).sup.2 and Cm is the mechanical compliance and B is the flux density over a conductor of length l in the speaker voice coil.
