  • Patent number: 8565441
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing resonance of a loudspeaker by using a model derived from a software simulated loudspeaker are provided. The method includes generating a model to determine resonance characteristics of the loudspeaker based on physical parameters of the audio reproducing device; determining accuracy of the model of the loudspeaker by comparing calculated frequency characteristics of the model of the loudspeaker and measured frequency characteristics of the loudspeaker that is outputting sound; generating a resonance reduction filter based on the model of the loudspeaker according to the determined accuracy; and reducing the resonance characteristics of the loudspeaker by applying the resonance reduction filter to input audio data.
