Abstract

In this paper a non-linear loudspeaker model, which accurately reproduces the low frequency behavior, is presented. This description, derived from an extension of the well known Small-Thiele equations, requires far less computational time and memory space than generic non linear structures. Moreover a noticeable further reduction of the number of operations and of the memory cells required has been achieved by means of a multirate architecture. Inversion of the proposed model allows digital prefiltering of the electrical signal in order to compensate for the non idealities of the electroacoustic conversion. The above filter structure implemented on a digital signal processor, placed between the audio signal source and the power amplifier allows effective compensation of loudspeaker linear (both magnitude and phase) and non linear distortion. Measurement results obtained with a commercial woofer are discussed.
