Abstract
The reliability and resilience of a speaker in a portable device may be improved by enabling the device to determine a status of an enclosure of a transducer. The impedance profiles of transducers vary depending on the enclosure status, whether the enclosure is leaky, ported, or sealed. Determination of parameters related to an impedance of a transducer may aid in a determination of the status of the enclosure. Once an enclosure status is determined, that information may be used to determine an excursion model for the transducer. Adapting the excursion model or other audio processing parameters can improve protection and performance of the transducer.
