Abstract

A system is provided for increasing the frequency range of an active acoustic attenuation system in a duct without increasing cut-off frequency f.sub.c of the duct or otherwise splitting or partitioning the duct into separate ducts or chambers. The frequency range is increased above f.sub.c to include higher order modes. A plurality of cancelling model sets are provided. Each transverse portion of the acoustic pressure wave has its own set of an adaptive filter model, cancelling speaker, and error microphone. A single input microphone may service all sets.
