DALI Kupid Challenges Industry as the Most Affordable HiFi Passive Loudspeaker Available in Multiple Colors

Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries (DALI) is highly recognized in the high-end audio and even the global hifi community. Not so much outside those circles. Maybe that will change with the new DALI Kupid. A compact, high-performance passive loudspeaker that the company says delivers "true HiFi sound" in a premium finish, at just €338 Euros per pair. As loudspeaker companies know well, designing a new entry-point reference is much more difficult than a money-no-object flagship.

Patent Review: Externally Coupled Loudspeaker System for a Vehicle, and an Externally Ducted Vehicle Loudspeaker

In this review, James Croft (Croft Acoustical) focuses on two patents. One granted to Harman Becker Automotive, and another granted the same year to Bose. The first describes a loudspeaker system arranged in a baffle inside a vehicle, configured to radiate an acoustical signal to the passenger compartment using an active noise control system.The second describes various implementations of “vehicle loudspeakers and related vehicle audio systems,” including the use of passive radiators.

Eliminating Speaker Doppler Distortion

Because of the movement of its membrane, even a perfectly linear loudspeaker produces Doppler distortion, a.k.a. Phase Modulation, and second distortions from the Nonlinear Amplitude Modulation. This article, originally published in audioXpress, October 2024, characterizes and shows how to eliminate Doppler distortion for a good listening experience.

Clean Earth Magnets Manufactured in Minnesota

Mike Klasco writes about Niron Magnetics' first commercial pilot plant in Minnesota. The opening of this 70,000 square-foot Minneapolis facility took place in October 2024 and is a key milestone in Niron Magnetics's path to scaled production of its Clean Earth Magnet technology and the company’s ability to bridge the acute supply and demand gap for permanent magnets. A significant step forward in the company's mission to produce sustainable, rare-earth-free permanent magnets.
