Abstract: A sound reproduction system employs at least one amplifier system and at least one speaker. The speaker provides two negative feedback signals: one indicative of the current through the speaker voice coil and a second indicative of the velocity of the speaker diaphragm. The current signal is provided via a first feedback path to an input of the amplifier in the amplifier system. The velocity signal is provided via a second feedback path to an input of the amplifier. The current signal may be derived from the voltage drop across a resistor placed in series with the speaker voice coil. The velocity signal may be derived from a second voice coil coupled to the diaphragm, or may be derived from a piezoelectric sensor coupled thereto.
