Abstract:
An electrodynamic loudspeaker assembly having an electrodynamic loudspeaker and first and second compensation filters. The electrodynamic loudspeaker includes a voice coil arranged in an air gap of a magnetically permeable structure and a compensation coil wound around a portion of the magnetically permeable structure. The first compensation filter filters an audio input signal to the loudspeaker assembly with a first frequency response to generate a voice coil compensation signal for application to the voice coil. The second compensation filter filters the audio input signal to the loudspeaker assembly with a second frequency response to generate a second compensation signal for application to the compensation coil. The first and second frequency responses, across a predetermined audio frequency range, suppress a time-varying or AC magnetic flux in the air gap caused by voice coil current such that magnetic flux modulation in the air gap of the loudspeaker is suppressed.
