I don’t know of any other compressors/limiters that are monitoring temperature sensors connected to each driver and modifying the parameters of the compressor and amplifier in real-time based on audio signal level and carefully calibrated driver amplification and temp vs time.
All in a way that (to the casual listener) isn’t noticed other than “Wow this sounds really good for laptop speakers”.
A picture is worth a thousands words and seeing temperature in anything having to do with compression should jump out any anyone familiar with these concepts as something novel/interesting.

- golergka 4y agoWell, it is an original implementation, but you have to admit, it sounds pretty similar to optical compressor, just with temperature sensors instead of photocells.
- kkielhofner 4y agoI'm definitely not trying to argue the validity of the patent, just saying that if you're trying to argue against the (beyond broken) patent system there are far better egregious examples of completely ridiculous patents that have been granted.
- golergka 4y agoOh, please don't get me wrong — I'm in awe of this system and definitely think it's worth the patent! I just pointing out that it is essentially the same overall principle, but it doesn't make it any less awesome.
