Abstract
In at least one embodiment, an audio amplifier system is provided. The system includes a loudspeaker and an audio amplifier. The loudspeaker transmits an audio output into a listening environment. The audio amplifier is programmed to receive an audio input signal and to generate an excursion signal corresponding to a first excursion level of the voice coil based on the audio input signal. The audio amplifier is further programmed to limit the excursion signal to reach a maximum excursion level and to determine a target pressure for an enclosure of the loudspeaker based on the maximum excursion level. The audio amplifier is further programmed to generate a target current signal based at least on the target pressure and to convert the target current signal into a target voltage signal to a target driving signal to drive the voice coil to reach the maximum excursion level.
