Abstract: A device includes a housing, an acoustic sensor disposed within the housing, the acoustic sensor comprising a microelectrornechanical (MEMS) transducer, a first port in the housing establishing a first acoustic path for air flow to the MEMS transducer, and a second port in the housing establishing a second acoustic path for air flow to the MEMS transducer. The first and second acoustic paths have an equal path length.

Abstract: This control device for controlling a loudspeaker (14) in a loudspeaker enclosure, comprises: an input for an audio signal to be reproduced; a supply output for supplying an excitation signal for the loudspeaker; the calculation means (26, 36, 38, 70, 71, 80, 90) for calculating, at each time instant (t), at least one predicted current (iref(t)) for the excitation signal for the loudspeaker (14) as a function of the audio signal. It comprises an attenuator (71) that is capable of limiting the predicted current to a limited current value that is lower than a ceiling value by application, to the predicted current, of an attenuation gain which is a function of the predicted current.
