Abstract: In a low frequency transducer system a multi-compression chamber, an inverse horn structure is employed in combination with a resonance-distortion filter chamber. The filter chamber effectively expands the effective enclosure volume at low frequencies and connected to one of the compression chambers filter parasitic resonances and distortion and allowing the system to more efficiently reproduce low frequencies while being able to use smaller diameter transducers and maintaining good system sensitivity. Compression chambers are organized for constant or continuous compression on a section-by-section basis throughout the inverse horn system.

Abstract: A single-ended planar transducer device for generating a sound signal based on an electrical signal comprising at least two primary rows of primary magnets, at least one return row of at least one return structure, a diaphragm, a conductive trace formed on the diaphragm, and a frame. The frame supports two primary rows to define at least one core set comprising no more than two primary rows. A primary magnetic field is established between the primary rows in the at least one core set. The frame supports at least one return row adjacent to the at least one core set. A return magnetic field is established between each return row and any primary row adjacent thereto. A first portion of the trace is arranged at least partly within each primary magnetic field and a second portion of the trace is arranged at least partly within each return magnetic field.
