  • Patent number: 7443990
    Abstract: A voltage biased capacitor circuit (10) for a loudspeaker (14?) includes at least two audio circuit capacitors (32A, 32B) wired in series either on one of an audio connector or between audio connectors (16A?, 16B?). A direct current voltage source (34) is wired in electrical communication with the audio circuit capacitors (32A, 32B) for transmitting through direct current voltage connectors (36A, 36B) a direct current to provide a bias voltage to the audio circuit capacitors (32A, 32B). At least one resistor (37) is secured between the audio circuit capacitors (32A, 32B) and the voltage source (34), to prevent dissipation of an audio signal through the resistor (37) and direct current voltage connectors (36A, 36B). A voltage source capacitor (40) is also wired between the voltage source (34) and the audio connectors (16A? 16B?) to stabilize the direct current transmitted to the capacitors (32A, 32B).

  • Patent number: 7411454
    Abstract: An electron turbulence damping circuit (40) for a complimentary-symmetry unit (10?) includes a first output device (12?) having a first conductivity and a second output device (14?) having a second conductivity that is opposite the conductivity of the first output device (12?). A common load connector (28?) is secured in electrical communication between a load (30?), a first current output (18?) of the first output device (12?) and a second current output (24?) of the second output device (14?). First and second resistive elements (42, 46) are secured in parallel between current inputs (16?, 22?) of the output devices (12?, 14?) and the common load connector (28?). The first and second resistive elements have a virtually identical resistance value that is greater than ten times a minimum impedance of the load (30?). The output devices (12?, 14?) may be transistors.

  • Patent number: 6771781
    Abstract: The invention is a variable damping circuit for a loudspeaker that provides for frequency dependent control of a loudspeaker by an amplifier. The variable damping circuit includes an amplifier, at least one loudspeaker, a pair of connectors between the amplifier and the loudspeaker, and a reactive component wired in parallel with a resistor connected to one of the pair of connectors between the amplifier and loudspeaker, wherein the resistance value of the reactive component and resistor does not exceed fifty percent of a resistance value of the loudspeaker. The reactive component may be a coil, a capacitor, or both a coil and a capacitor both of which are connected in parallel with the resistor.
