Patent Review: Multiple Path Acoustic Wall Coupling for Surface-Mounted Speakers

This article reviews a patent awarded to Paul Wayne Peace Jr. and Derrick Rodgers, on behalf of Harman International Industries. The patent describes a surface-mounted loudspeaker design that mitigates the interference between direct low-frequency (LF) energy and reflected LF energy by breaking the LF energy from an LF driver into multiple paths using one or more of waveguides, driver load plates, and enclosure ports to diffuse the reflected energy and minimize frequency response errors.

xMEMS Samples Ultra-Small Full-Range Microspeaker

Back in January 2015, I gave a talk about MEMS loudspeakers, and I have regularly written about MEMS speaker progress. A half decade later, it seems we are finally now moving beyond the industry's joke that MEMS’ development progress can be measured in dog years: it takes 7 human years for each year of MEMS’ progress! The big news is xMEMS Labs, a company founded just in January 2018, has announced it is now in mass production of its Montara, a monolithic MEMS “µspeaker” with a slim 1mm profile, and announced Cowell, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS µSpeaker, at just 1.15mm high and 3.2mm wide.

Measurements Rate New SMT Low-Voltage JFETs Under Consistent Conditions - An Update Using Modern JFETs

In 2013, Dimitri Danyuk wrote an article that presented apples-to-apples test results for noise densities for several low-noise discrete, SMT, and n-JFETs. In this follow-up article, Danyuk brings us new measurements, updating his design note with measurements of JFET components that appeared more recently on the market. The tests used the same operating conditions so that designers can make a fair comparison for their applications. This article was originally published in audioXpress, December 2018.
