Abstract

One example includes a system that is comprised of a speaker, an amplifier, a current sensor, and a compensator circuit. The speaker produces audio in response to an amplified analog input signal received at a speaker input. The amplifier receives an analog audio input signal and provides the amplified analog audio input signal to the speaker input. The current sensor senses current passing through the speaker and provides a current sensor signal indicative thereof. The compensator circuit applies a transfer function to the current sensor signal to provide a compensation signal as feedback into the analog audio input signal, the transfer function matching at least one of resistance and inductance of the speaker.
