Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include an audio speaker and a controller coupled to the audio speaker. The controller may receive a current signal indicative of an electrical current associated with the audio speaker and a voltage signal indicative of an electrical voltage associated with the audio speaker. In response to the current signal and the voltage signal, the controller may estimate modeled characteristics for the audio speaker, and based on the modeled characteristics, control an audio signal communicated from the controller to the audio speaker wherein the modeled characteristics are based on discrete-time domain information and displacement domain information and the discrete-time domain information and the displacement domain information are used to update the modeled characteristics.
