Abstract

A loudspeaker has a digital input signal port connected to a digital interpolator to increase the effective sampling rate whose output is fed to a signal delay and magnitude detector after which the short-term dynamic range of the input signal is possibly reduced before application of a unary encoder which encodes the digital input signal into a plurality of unary signals which are then differentially delayed and pulse shaped before application to a plurality of substantially identical acoustic transducers via transducer drivers whose average power drive levels may be controlled by signals derived from the magnitude detector and from a human operator to alter the sound volume produced.
