ABSTRACT:
An improved sound reproduction system employs an amplifier system and a speaker. The system offers greatly improved bass response. 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 velocity signal is provided via the first feedback path to an input of the amplifier of the amplifier system. The current signal is provided by the second feedback path through a bandpass filter to the amplifier input. The velocity measurement may be derived from a second voice coil coupled to the diaphragm, or may be derived from a piezoelectric sensor coupled thereto. The current signal may be derived from the voltage drop across a resistor placed in series with the speaker voice coil.
