A speaker apparatus, a method for processing input signals of the speaker apparatus and an audio system are provided. The speaker apparatus includes: a first plurality of speakers, arranged at an interval in a row, where acoustic energy radiation generated by the first plurality of speakers is greater in a first zone than in a second zone in a first frequency range; a second plurality of speakers, symmetrically disposed at two sides of the first plurality of speakers with openings at the two sides facing outwardly, where acoustic energy radiation generated by the second plurality of speakers is greater in a third zone than in a fourth zone in a second frequency range; and the first frequency range overlaps with the second frequency range. Therefore, the speaker apparatus, the method and the audio system can achieve a wide spacious effect and provide a near-real surround experience to listeners.

Speaker apparatus, method for processing input signals thereof, and audio system

A passive radiator assembly for a loudspeaker system comprising: a pair of passive radiators including a first and a second passive radiator; a frame having a first, a second and a third opening wherein the first and second opening are located on parallel sides of the frame, respectively, wherein the first and the second passive radiator are mounted into the first and second opening of the parallel sides of the frame, respectively, so as to oppose each other at a predetermined distance.

Passive radiator assembly

A speaker including one or multiple transducers, an enclosure, and a suspension mounted on the enclosure, wherein the suspension and the enclosure are configured such that the enclosure is capable of vibrating as a result of operation of the transducer so as to produce audible sound.

Speaker

A speaker and a method of producing a speaker, the speaker including: an enclosure; at least one transducer mounted in the enclosure; and at least one passive radiator mounted in the enclosure, including a suspension and a center panel encircled by and adhered to the suspension, wherein the at least one transducer is combined with the at least one passive radiator, and functions as at least a part of the center panel. According to the speaker of the present disclosure, by fully or partly replacing the center panel of the at least one passive radiator by one or more transducer(s), both the internal space and the cost of the speaker are saved without sacrificing the sound quality.
