Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for loudspeaker excursion domain processing and thermal limiting are provided. At a device comprising: a processor; a loudspeaker and voice coil, device(s) for determining loudspeaker voltage and current; a volume device; and a memory storing a Bl product for the loudspeaker, a Fourier space excursion-from-voltage transfer function H(ω) is determined. An acoustic response of the loudspeaker below a dovetail frequency, is determined, relative to a respective acoustic response at the dovetail frequency, using at least a second time derivative of the transfer function H(ω). An equalization is determined using the acoustic response, comprising gains that, when applied to the acoustic response, will adjust the acoustic response to the respective acoustic response at the respective acoustic response at the dovetail frequency. Filter coefficients are determined corresponding to the equalization, which are used in a filter applied to a loudspeaker input signal.
