Abstract: A speaker assembly comprising an elongated unitary member having a first end and a second end. The elongated member is formed into a generally box-shaped configuration having an open top, an open bottom and an internal box cavity. The first and second ends of the elongated member are separately positioned within the internal box cavity to form first and second internal sidewalls, respectively. First and second internal sidewalls define a sound path therebetween which is in communication with the internal box volume and an external portion of the elongated member. A first speaker is disposed in the first internal sidewall and a second speaker is disposed in the second internal sidewall, with first and second speakers facing directly into the sound path. A top panel is mounted on the elongated member over the open top and a bottom panel is mounted on the elongated member under the open bottom.

Abstract: A self-cooling loudspeaker comprises a speaker frame, a diaphragm connected to the speaker frame, a voice coil connected to the diaphragm and a permanent magnet assembly having a central opening. The permanent magnet assembly comprises a permanent magnet disposed between a top plate and a bottom plate. A pole piece is disposed co-axially within the central opening of the permanent magnet assembly to form an air gap between the pole piece and the permanent magnetic assembly into which the voice coil is disposed. In one embodiment of the present invention, the top plate is stamped to form a plurality of intake air paths in communication with the air gap and a plurality of outtake air paths in communication with the air gap, the plurality of intake air paths having a decreasing cross-sectional area towards the central opening of the permanent magnet assembly, and the plurality of outtake air paths having an increasing cross-sectional area towards the central opening of the permanent magnet assembly.

Abstract: An automatic dynamic equalization circuit has a potentiometer having a tap shunted by an active resonator circuit including a capacitor shunted by an active circuit presenting a high Q inductive reactance that is resonant at substantially 50 Hz and provides essentially no boost in the middle range of frequencies above 150 Hz with roll-off below about 45 Hz.

Abstract: A loudspeaker having a totally integrated acoustic system which reduces unwanted cabinet diffraction of the sound waves to minimum; resulting in maximum sound wave dispersion with directional accuracy.
