  • Patent number: 5537479
    Abstract: A modification and addition to the prior art type of multiple driver push-pull loudspeaker system for subwoofer, bass, or lower midrange frequencies, which prior system is able to reduce the even-order push-pull out-of-phase driver-produced 2nd, 4th, etc. distortion harmonics by the order of 15 to 25 dB in the radiated sound waves. The present invention reduces the important remaining in-phase distortion harmonics using outputs of sensors mounted on the voice coils of each driver to generate electrical signals which are processed and used to substantially lower the remaining in-phase distortion with feedback through a single signal amplifier chain. The present invention contributes from 15 to 30 dB of in-phase distortion reduction of odd-order harmonics and, at relatively high sound power levels only, also reduces some in-phase, relatively lower level, even-order distortion.
