I have read many patents, and this is far and away the worst patent I've ever read.
A few gems from the patent:
"According to embodiments of the invention, new and improved transducers (a woofer for example) are specifically designed to match or more closely match the mass of the musical instrument producing the music."
and:
"According to additional implementations of the invention, one or more array(s) of very small transducers with minimal moving mass with or without separate amplification work in tandem grouped closely together to reproduce the lowest audible frequencies while keeping all related overtones completely intact. In one implementation a long column of small transducers quickly switches and/or cycles on and off with precision—even switching at speeds faster than that of the speed of sound consecutively so low frequencies can be continually reinforced over the length of the column and quickly be acoustically multiplied. High sound pressure levels and intensity are realized from the length of the column (low frequency wavelengths are long) and the overtones are left un-attenuated and intact.
This effect could be compared to frames-per-second in movies and videos. The moving frames provide the viewer with a flowing and precise image. The high speed switching of many multiple transducers will produce an acoustic effect comparable to that of many frames-per-second of video. An example illustrates the concept: lighting and its audible result called thunder in nature could be thought of as a very long column (a line source) of sound. Potential energy is high, the mass is low, and its speed of propagation is fast. The resultant acoustic event literally shakes windows and houses with great intensity. A scaled-down high-speed, low mass switching acoustical device roughly simulates the way thunder propagates from top to bottom through our atmosphere in nature. This type of device would have potential for very low frequencies to be realized using small transducers with great potential resulting intensity while keeping overtones and resultant waveforms intact."
Another one:
"Commonly used loudspeaker transducers (e.g. transducers used for tweeter 12, midrange transducer 14, and woofer 16) typically have on average twice to ten times (and often even more) the moving mass of the vibrating component of most vibrating and resonating musical instruments and devices producing the original musical event. By way of examples of vibrating components of musical instruments, such vibrating components include strings (for string instruments such as violins, cellos, harps, and the like), membranes (for many percussion instruments such as drums), and air masses (for wind and brass instruments such as oboes, saxophones, trumpets and tubas). As a specific example, the vibrating and resonating moving mass of the open E string (41 Hz) on an electric bass might have a string mass of 20.9 grams (a length of 34.5″) and produce a 41 Hz fundamental tone with all its related overtones. When played, the string produces a specific resultant wave with certain overtones.
When that resultant audio wave is recorded and then fed through a loudspeaker with just twice the moving mass of the original string mass, attenuation of the fundamental frequency and of the overtones is observed. The highest frequencies are skewed the most prominently and a dramatic low pass filtering effect occurs (the highest frequencies are attenuated more and more going up in frequency). Additionally, a slower acceleration and a slower braking effect of the transducer is observed due to its heavier mass. The result is a skewed and inaccurate produced waveform and the reproduced event does not sound like the original musical event. Describing this negative attribute is simple: the music is not as lively or energetic sounding. The sound is mellowed out, often described as “warmer” and dampened. Efficiency and intelligibility is also lowered and degraded."
