Abstract

An audio processor for a multi voice coil acoustic transducer is described. The audio processor may receive or generate an audio signal. The audio signal may have one or more phase shifts applied. The audio signal may be used to drive a first coil of a dual voice coil acoustic transducer. The phase-shifted audio signals may drive the other coils of a multi voice-coil acoustic transducer. The phase shift is selected so that the phase difference between the audio signal driving each voice coil may result in destructive interference in the multi voice-coil loudspeaker resulting in reduced or no acoustic output due to the audio signal.
