Passive radiators are a critical component for delivering great bass performance from small speakers. They influence sound quality, product size, and energy efficiency and they are a critical core expertise at Bose.
I developed a number of advances in passive radiator technology, both in performance and manufacturability. I hold multiple patents in this space and the designs I developed are found in multi-million unit production in products such as SoundLink Color and SoundLink Revolve.
