Abstract

A canalphone system may include a pair of high audio drivers carried by a canalphone housing, and a pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing adjacent to the high audio driver. The system may also include an amplifier that amplifies an audio signal and delivers that amplified audio signal to the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the amplifier being non-destructively removable by a user. The system may further include a passive audio crossover carried by the canalphone housing, the passive audio crossover receives the amplified audio signal from the amplifier and then delivers the amplified audio signal in a suitable frequency range to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the passive audio crossover filtering the amplified audio signal within the canalphone housing rather than attenuating the amplified audio signal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a pair of high audio drivers carried by a canalphone housing;   a pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing adjacent to the high audio driver;   an amplifier that amplifies an audio signal and delivers that amplified audio signal to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the amplifier being non-destructively removable by a user; and   a passive audio crossover carried by the canalphone housing, the passive audio crossover receives the amplified audio signal from the amplifier and then delivers the amplified audio signal in a suitable frequency range to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the passive audio crossover filtering the amplified audio signal within the canalphone housing rather than attenuating the amplified audio signal.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a second pair of high audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  further comprising a third pair of high audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a second pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  further comprising a third pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  further comprising a second pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  further comprising a third pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         9 . A system comprising:
 a pair of high audio drivers carried by a canalphone housing;   a pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing adjacent to the high audio driver;   an amplifier that amplifies an audio signal and delivers that amplified audio signal to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the amplifier being non-destructively removable by a user;   a passive audio crossover carried by the canalphone housing, the passive audio crossover receives the amplified audio signal from the amplifier and then delivers the amplified audio signal in a suitable frequency range to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the passive audio crossover filtering the amplified audio signal within the canalphone housing rather than attenuating the amplified audio signal;   a second amplifier; and   a high portion of the passive audio crossover carried by the canalphone housing, the high portion of the passive audio crossover to receive the audio signal from the second amplifier and to limit the audio signal delivered to the high audio driver to a high frequency portion of the amplified audio signal.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising a second pair of high audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising a third pair of high audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising a second pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12  further comprising a third pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising a pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14  further comprising a second pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  further comprising a third pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         17 . A system comprising:
 a pair of high audio drivers carried by a canalphone housing;   a pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing adjacent to the high audio driver;   an amplifier that amplifies an audio signal and delivers that amplified audio signal to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the amplifier being non-destructively removable by a user;   a passive audio crossover carried by the canalphone housing, the passive audio crossover receives the amplified audio signal from the amplifier and then delivers the amplified audio signal in a suitable frequency range to at least one of the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers, the passive audio crossover filtering the amplified audio signal within the canalphone housing rather than attenuating the amplified audio signal, and the amplifier is not between the passive audio crossover and the pair of high audio drivers and the pair of low audio drivers.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a second pair of high audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a second pair of low audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of mid audio drivers carried by the canalphone housing.
