    Abstract: An apparatus and method for optimizing a parametric emitter system having a pot core inductive device coupled between an amplifier and emitter. The pot core inductive device allows for adjustments of the air gap formed between the two halves of the pot core structure to adjust its inductive value. This post-manufacture adjustability allows for corrections of differences caused by operations of other components in the audio system and to account for slight differences in the electrical circuit of different amplifier/emitter combinations. As efficiency of the system is dependent on the functional relationship between the amplifier, inductive device, and emitter, this allows for fine tuning of the signal to obtain high quality.

  • Patent number: 8536967
    Abstract: In a coil bobbin, a cover section is provided as a spacer section which abuts against a heat radiating section that functions as a heat radiating terminal of the first coil winding, from a direction following the axis line of the tubular section. Here, when performing heat radiation from the coil winding, since the cover section which abuts against the heat radiating terminal when the coil winding is fixed to the heat radiating object functions as an insulating member, then the radiation of heat from the coil winding is raised without increasing the number of parts.
