Abstract
A system and method includes a loudspeaker having a first, low-frequency driver and a second, high-frequency driver. An error microphone is disposed near the loudspeaker and receives sound output by both drivers as well as noise. An estimation of the secondary path between the drivers and the microphones is determined, and playback audio is applied to the estimation. The output of the estimation is subtracted from the output of the microphone to determine anti-noise. This anti-noise is used to modify audio data sent to the first, low-frequency driver; the audio data is sent directly to the second, high-frequency driver.
