Abstract: A magnetic assembly and a loudspeaker use a magnetic assembly are. The magnetic assembly has a pole piece that is designed to form an outer air gap and an inner air gap for coaxial voice coils of the loudspeaker. The same magnet is used for the magnetic circuits of the two voice coils. The pole piece is shaped to split the magnetic circuits into a low frequency magnetic circuit and a high frequency magnetic circuit. A convex dome is attached to the high frequency voice coil.
Abstract: A control system is provided for controlling a transducer array. The control system includes a plurality of sparse filters and integrators. The control system can be used to separate signals from a plurality of sources or to generate complex signal patterns that combine and map to different spatial regions.
