Abstract:
Speaker assemblies for a headphone device may include an audio speaker configured to produce audible sound in response to receiving an audio signal at the audio speaker. A tactile bass vibrator distinct from the audio speaker may be operatively connected to the audio speaker. The tactile bass vibrator may be configured to produce tactile vibrations in response to receiving the audio signal at the tactile bass vibrator. A current divider may be operatively connected to the audio speaker and the tactile bass vibrator. A pivoting portion of an attachment structure of an ear cup supporting the audio speaker, tactile bass vibrator, and current divider may intersect with a geometrical central axis of the ear cup, and the audio speaker and tactile bass vibrator may not intersect with the geometrical central axis of the respective ear cup.
Abstract:
A microphone porting and venting assembly (100) is formed of a remote support substrate (118) providing a (130) acoustically resistive element with dedicated venting cavities (132) along with an external baffle (220) providing acoustic channels (212, 214, 216) which further provide water drainage and external sound sampling points (222, 224, 226). The microphone porting and venting assembly (100) is well suited waterproof, noise cancelling microphone systems.

Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to waterproof electronic assemblies, such as earphones, earphone electronic controls, and waterproof connectors, as well as an apparatus for retaining an earpiece in the ear during physical movement and exercise. In various instances, the apparatus may include a thinned region a posterior arch and ribs to allow deformation of the earmold and facilitate securing of the earmold in the concha bowl of the ear. Electronic component assemblies described include electronic components, a cable, and a housing configured to house the electronic components. The housing also includes a cable aperture through which the cable extends, and a compression backstop extending into the interior of the housing. The electronic assembly may also include a gasket holder. The assembly also includes a gasket surrounding the cable, a compression wedge at least partially surrounding the circumference of the cable, and a crimp bead positioned proximate the compression backstop.
Abstract:
The speaker device includes a cylindrical main body, a sound receiving portion, plural speaker units and at least one passive radiation plate. The cylindrical main body includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The sound receiving portion disposed on the top portion of the cylindrical main body. The speaker units are disposed within the cylindrical main body. The exports of the speaker units face the directions extending radially outward from an axial center of the cylindrical main body respectively. Each of the speaker units outputs a voice signal. The passive radiation plate is disposed on a surrounding surface of the cylindrical main body, and located between the speaker units and the bottom portion of the cylindrical main body. The passive radiation plate is driven to produce resonance with the air within the cylindrical main body, which is vibrated by the vibration of the voice signal.
Abstract:
This disclosure presents a connector assembly for providing a waterproof connection to a case for an electronic device. The connector assembly includes a connector body, an electrical cable, and an electrical conductor. The electrical conductor is electrically connected to the electrical cable and electrically engages the installed electronic device to convey at least one of data and power between the installed electronic device and the electrical cable. The connector assembly also includes an outer sleeve configured to freely rotate around the connector body and further configured to removably connect the connector assembly to the case. The outer sleeve includes a securing region to removably secure the connector assembly to the case, an inner gasket to seal an inner sealing interface of the outer sleeve with the connector body, and an outer gasket positioned to seal an outer sealing interface of the outer sleeve with the case.
Abstract:
A loudspeaker system has a loudspeaker housing that comprises at least a first and a second housing chamber. The loudspeaker system has a bass loudspeaker that is mounted on a partition between the first housing chamber and the second housing chamber, wherein the back of the bass loudspeaker has the first housing chamber present and the front of the bass loudspeaker has the second housing chamber present. The partition contains at least one bass reflex opening. A phase correction element is arranged at the front of the bass loudspeaker in the second housing chamber. The bass reflex opening opens into the second housing chamber and is arranged in a region adjacent to the phase correction element.
Abstract:
A bass reflex type speaker is disclosed. The bass reflex type speaker includes an enclosure, two speakers, and a bass reflex tube. The enclosure includes a main portion and two protruding portions protruding from the main portion. The main portion defines a sound cavity therein. The protruding portion defines a sound path therein communicating with the sound cavity. The two speakers are connected to the corresponding protruding portion to close the sound path. One end of the bass reflex tube is fixed in the enclosure, and the other end of the bass reflex tube extends out of the enclosure.
Abstract:
A low-frequency loudspeaker system based on a dipole principle. In some implementations, the system includes an open frame rigging system and multiple subwoofers mounted in a dipole surface array configuration in the open frame rigging system to produce controlled sound dispersion in both horizontal and vertical planes. The subwoofers are operable to produce low-frequency sound dispersion below about 300 Hz. The subwoofers mounted in the dipole configuration include a first set of subwoofers facing a first direction and a second set of subwoofers facing a second direction, in which the second direction is facing a direction that is 180 degrees with respect to the first direction. The second set of subwoofers are wired out-of-phase with respect to the first set of subwoofers to reduce non-liner distortion. The first and second sets of subwoofers are configured to concurrently move in a same direction when a signal is applied to the subwoofers.
Abstract:
A dual-diaphragm loudspeaker driver assembly can include a multiple pole magnet structure, and first and second pole piece assemblies can be provided on opposite first and second sides of the multiple pole magnet structure. In an example, each pole piece assembly defines an airgap over a polarity transition region on a respective side of the magnet structure. First and second voice coils can be provided in respective ones of the airgaps, wherein each of the voice coils is coupled to a respective diaphragm assembly, and at least one acoustic tuning port can be configured to provide a damped acoustic communication path between first and opposite second sides of each diaphragm assembly.
