Abstract
A loudspeaker system for converting an n-bit digitized electric signal (11) into an acoustic signal comprises an electrodynamic loudspeaker (1) with n voice-coil sections (4.1, 4.2, . . . 4.n) which cooperate with a magnet system (3). The loudspeaker system further comprises means (18.1, 18.2, . . . 18.n) for short-circuiting a voice-coil section if the value of the bit corresponding to the voice-coil section is such that the relevant voice-coil section is not driven.
