In the present paper, a composite absorber composed by an MPP and a shunted loudspeaker is proposed. The loudspeaker is installed at the back wall of the air cavity and the acoustic impedance can be optimized by adjusting the parameters of the loudspeaker and the electronic components in the shunt to improve the sound absorption performance. The prediction model of such a finite-sized composite absorber is established based on the mode analysis solution and the equivalent circuit of the loudspeaker. Both numerical simulations and experiments show that the thickness of the proposed composite absorber can be much smaller than that of traditional MPP constructions.Read More
