Title Equalization of excursion and current-dependent nonlinearities in loudspeakers
Date 2014-01-01
Description This paper presents a novel equalizer for nonlinear distortions in direct-radiator loudspeakers in a closed cabinet by constructing an exact inverse of an electro-mechanical model of the loudspeaker. This exact inverse compensates for distortions introduced by excursion and current-dependent nonlinearities. The equalizer compensates for the nonlinearities in the force factor, voice coil inductance, eddy currents and the stiffness of the loudspeaker. Simulation results demonstrating substantial reduction in the harmonic distortions at the output of the loudspeaker are included in this paper.
