Loudspeaker system incorporating acoustic waveguide filters and method of construction

TLDR
In this article, a method of constructing an acoustic filter incorporating a technique in which the filter is modelled with one or more distributed two port elements is presented, where each distributed element is defined by a characteristic impedance and length and includes a waveguide filter which does not require damping.
Abstract
A method of constructing an acoustic filter incorporates a technique in which the filter is modelled with one or more distributed two port elements. The or each distributed element is defined by a characteristic impedance and length and includes a waveguide filter which does not require damping. The or each filter section is characterized in that it has at least two resonances which are used to shape a specified response for the filter. A substantially reactive acoustic filter constructed according to the method and a loudspeaker system incorporating such an acoustic filter are also disclosed.

Passive directional acoustic radiating

TL;DR: In this paper, an acoustic apparatus, including an acoustic driver, acoustically coupled to a pipe to radiate acoustic energy into the environment is described. But the authors do not consider the effect of the driver's position on the volume velocity of the pipe.

Low-profile speaker arrangements for compact electronic devices

TL;DR: In this paper, a portable electronic device that provides audio sound output from multiple internal speakers to a common output audio opening in a housing of the portable electronic devices is disclosed. And the sound (i.e., pressure waves) produced by each of the internal speakers is directed into a respective acoustic chamber and output via the output audio opens in the housing.

Sound reproducing system

TL;DR: In this paper, a sound reproducing system of the dual loud speaker type was proposed, in which one loud speaker is adapted to reproduce audio signals in the lower portion of the audio frequency range and the second loud speaker can be used to reproduce the audio signal in the higher portion.
