Abstract
An over-ear speaker system for a head mounted display includes a speaker, an impedance detection circuit, and a sound processor. The impedance of the speaker changes according to the temperature of the speaker. The sound processor coupled to the impedance detection circuit receives an impedance signal representing the impedance of the speaker and adjusts the boosting of frequency components in the sound signal based on the impedance signal. The adjusting of boosting of frequency components in the sound signal includes boosting of a frequency range of the sound signal below a resonance frequency of a speaker and may enable the protection of the speaker from damage by adjusting boosting of frequency components near a resonance frequency of the speaker at which maximum excursion of the speaker occurs.
