  • Patent number: 4714133
    Abstract: The invention presents a method for improving overall efficiency and quality in sound reproduction systems by providing a system which establishes positive phase control over the many and varied resonant characteristics encountered in the reproduction and presentation of audio energy. The apparatus embodying the present method primarily consists of speaker structures within which drivers such as conventional cone drivers are acoustically coupled to both air and to the materials from which the enclosure of the speaker structure is formed by optimizing existing atmospheric pressure differentials and induced audio vibration readily available within these structures. The coupling is obtained through the use of acoustical resonator structure placed within a speaker enclosure and through particular distribution of mass in the enclosure and in the materials.
