A multiple voice-coil cone-driver for driving a loudspeaker includes a first
voice-coil,
and a second voice-coil coupled in parallel to the first voice-coil. Together,
the first and second voice-coils in parallel are characterized by a baseline frequency
response with an upper threshold frequency. In addition, at least one additional
voice-coil (e.g., a third voice-coil) is coupled in parallel to the first and second
voice-coils. The additional voice-coil(s), in conjunction with the first and second
voice-coils, provide an enhanced frequency response in comparison to the baseline
frequency response. One aspect of the enhanced frequency response is that it has
an extended upper threshold frequency compared to the baseline frequency response,
providing for more accurate reproduction of music and speech from a single speaker.
