Abstract

An active noise control system is provided for cancellation of noise in a duct. A speaker is mounted over an opening in the duct. An enclosure is mounted the duct about the speaker. Air flow is generated through the enclosure in order to balance the diffusion of water vapor through the speaker such that the dew point of the air in the enclosure is always below the temperature of the air in the enclosure, thus avoiding condensation.
