Modeling and Compensation of Nonlinear Distortion in Horn Loudspeakers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The horn loudspeaker suffers from producing high distortions. Based on an physical model an equivalent lumped parameter circuit is determined for a horn loaded compression driver. From the nonlinear differential equation of this circuit, a compensation algorithm is implemented on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for reducing nonlinear distortion caused by the behaviour of air. Test results are given.

Digital Compensation of Nonlinear Distortion in Loudspeakers
Practical loudspeakers are nonlinear transducers, i.e. the acoustic output is not a linear representation of the electrical input signal. In this paper two loudspeakers are considered; a loudspeaker for reproduction of low frequencies (woofer) and a horn loudspeaker. Instead of improving the behavior of the two transducers by constructional means we apply a feedforward nonlinear digital inverse...
متن کاملActive Reduction of Nonlinear Loudspeaker Distortion
Electrodynamic loudspeakers have inherent nonlinearities generating harmonic and intermodulation distortion in the reproduced sound. Some applications of active noise control require loudspeakers having low weight, small size, high efficiency to produce amplitudes at low frequencies. In these cases the signal distortions produced by the loudspeaker’s nonlinearities impair the compensation of th...
متن کاملDigital compensation of nonlinear distort ion in loudspeakers
Ideal loudspeakers produce acoustic waves, which are a linear transformation of the electrical input signal. In reality loudspeakers do produce nonlinear distortion as well. This paper presents a method to compensate this distortion in real-time by nonlinear digital signal processing, implemented on a Digital Signal Processor ( i . e . the TMS320C30 DSP). Based on literature, an electrical equi...
متن کاملModulation Distortion in Loudspeakers
When comparing a loudspeaker with direct radiator bass system to one with horo loaded bass, the subjective judgment is that the one with the horn loaded bass is "cleaner". The difference in listening quality appears to be due to modulation distortion. The mathematical analysis of modulation distortion is reviewed and spectrum analyzer measurements are described which have been correlated with l...
متن کاملFriction Compensation for Dynamic and Static Models Using Nonlinear Adaptive Optimal Technique
Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. To obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. In this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. The proposed approach works for n...
