Patent Review: Smart Bass Reflex Loudspeaker
James Croft (Croft Acoustical) reviews a very curious patent from Amazon Technologies, Inc. (Reno, NV), filed in 2013, and awarded in April 2017. Basically, the patent discusses a new technique to tune a port of a loudspeaker, in this case multiple ports that will be open or selectively closed, in function of an analysis of the frequencies of the signal being played.
