Abstract: A system is provided herein that includes a hub and one or more speakers in communication with the hub and configured to transmit one or more filter parameters to the hub. The hub is configured to filter audio that is output to each respective speaker using the one or more filter parameters. A speaker selector module is configured to allow a user to select a slot based on a position of each respective speaker. The hub is operable to transmit audio signals to each of the one or more speakers as a function of the slot setting.

Abstract: A speaker system is provided herein that includes a frame at least partially encompassing a diaphragm of a first transducer. A bridge is operably coupled with the frame. The bridge includes a support section and a pair of arms extending therefrom, the support section including a rim portion. A second transducer is supported by the bridge and at least partially disposed within the rim portion. A first sound altering feature is disposed on a first side of the second transducer. An asymmetrical second sound altering feature is disposed on a second opposing side of the second transducer.

Abstract: An audio system is disclosed that contains speakers that are configured to transmit unique parameters to an audio source. The system includes a hub that is configured to be connected with one or more audio sources. At least one speaker is included having one or more filter parameters stored internally that are specific to the speaker. The speaker is operable to transmit the one or more filter parameters to the hub. The hub is operable to use the one or more filter parameters to filter an audio channel associated with the speaker and an associated subwoofer channel.

Abstract: A wireless speaker system is disclosed that includes a hub that is in wireless communication with a plurality of speakers. Each of the speakers includes a speaker selector module operable to allow a user to select a slot to place each of the speakers in. Each of the speakers is operable to transmit a respective slot setting to the hub based on the selected slot. The hub is operable to transmit audio signals to each of the speakers as a function of the slot setting.

Abstract: An ear tip is disclosed that comprises an annular flange having a first end tapering downwardly to a second end and having a teardrop curve lateral cross section running from approximately the upper end to the lower end. An inner body extends internally from the upper end within a hollow interior defined by the flange toward the lower end. An acoustic channel extends through the inner body. The flange at least partially occludes an ear canal from ambient noise and creates at least a partial air seal in the ear canal and the acoustic channel is configured to allow the passage of sound into the ear canal when the inner body is connected with a sound source.

Abstract: A pair of in-ear headphones is disclosed that are operable to reproduce incoming audio signals. The in-ear headphones include an oval shaped housing defining an internal chamber. A front portion of the oval shaped housing defines a nozzle extending away from the housing. A driver is positioned in the internal chamber such that a sound reproduction portion of the driver is aligned with an internal audio channel running through the nozzle. A damper is positioned in an end of the nozzle having a damper aperture having a predetermined size. The nozzle extends from a base portion of the housing at a predetermined upward angle and a predetermined bend angle that provides improved audio frequency responses in desirable frequency ranges.

Abstract: A speaker is disclosed that can be positioned as either a right or left front surround or a right or left rear surround in any surround sound system. The speaker includes a housing including a first driver, a second driver, a third driver, and a fourth driver. A high pass filter is connected with the first and third drivers and the first and third drivers are wired having opposite polarities from one another such that the first driver is out of phase with the third driver by 180 degrees. A low pass filter is connected with a lattice filter, wherein the low pass filter is configured to shift a phase of an input signal ?90 degrees and the lattice filter is configured to shift the phase by adding +45 degrees thereby forming a ?45 degree phase shift. An output of the lattice filter is connected with the second and fourth drivers.

Abstract: An ear tip is disclosed that comprises an annular flange having a first end tapering downwardly to a second end and having a circular lateral cross-section. The annular flange is defined by a plurality of sections and each section has a varying wall thickness. An inner body extends internally from the first end within a hollow interior defined by the annular flange toward the second end. An acoustic channel extends through the inner body, where the annular flange at least partially occludes an ear canal from ambient noise and creates at least a partial air seal in the ear canal and the acoustic channel is configured to allow the passage of sound into the ear canal when the inner body is connected with a sound source.
