Electronic / Active Acoustic Suspension?
« on: 16 Jan 2008, 11:28 pm »
First posting, but I've lurked on this board for quite some time and have learned a lot from all of you and value your feedback. 

My question today is this:
Speaker enclosures do many things, some of which are to control resonance, and aid tuning.  By changing the volume of this enclosure, the frequency response is effected.

Are any of you aware of any research or published work to electronically simulate the enclosure effect on a speaker driver?  Something along the lines of an seperate active circuit monitoring the driver and dynamically acting upon it.  Not servo input driven, but a seperate servo feedback against the driver movement itself in a manner similar to the air suspension effects the driver sees within an enclosure.

Example: If one were to model the actual driver response in an enclosure, one would also expect to be able to model the same electrical active "feedback" or active dampening necessary on the driver to simulate the same response outside of this enclosure or to tailor the response as desired.    Think of it as active suspension.

Thoughts?

What about these the x-10 by Meyer Sound? They use pressure sensing.
