Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel acoustical chamber for enclosed loudspeakers which help direct and control sound waves within the enclosure thereby enhancing sound output. The present invention utilizes a method of progressive damping which utilizes multiple layers of damping material or layers of material with variable density or damping characteristics within an enclosed chamber. The damping material is arranged such that the density of the material in the chamber decreases as the distance from the driver increases. The damping materials may also be configured such that the density of the material in the chamber increases as the transverse distance from the center of the chamber increases, that is, the density of the material along the outer surfaces of the chamber is denser than material which is transversely inward from the outer surfaces.

Abstract: An improved cable for audio applications having multiple, interlaced, counter-rotating conductors in a twin helical pattern is disclosed. Preferred embodiments of the present invention include a first set of conductors configured into longitudinally offset, co-axial helices along with a second set of conductors configured into a substantially parallel group of longitudinally offset, co-axial helices which are interlaced with said first set of conductors such that, with each rotation of said helices, a conductor from the first set of helices overlaps and interlaces with a conductor from the second set of helices. The first and second sets of helices rotate in opposite directions to achieve proper interlacing engagement.
