1. An acoustic apparatus, comprising:
- a first acoustic sensor having a first sensitivity and having a first output signal;
a second acoustic sensor having a sensitivity, the second sensitivity being less than the first sensitivity, the second acoustic sensor having a second output signal;
a blending module coupled to the first acoustic sensor and the second acoustic sensor, the blending module configured to selectively blend the first output signal and the second output signal to create a blended output signal.

Abstract
An acoustic apparatus includes a first acoustic sensor that has a first sensitivity and a first output signal; a second acoustic sensor that has a sensitivity, the second sensitivity is less than the first sensitivity, and the second acoustic sensor has a second output signal; and a blending module that is coupled to the first acoustic sensor and the second acoustic sensor. The blending module is configured to selectively blend the first output signal and the second output signal to create a blended output signal.

16. An acoustic speaker apparatus, comprising:
-
a flexible diaphragm; at least one magnet; a coil that is coupled to the diaphragm; such that in a first mode of operation, applied current to the coil is effective to create a magnetic field, the magnetic field moving the coil, the moving coil causing a movement of the diaphragm to create sound energy; such that in a second mode of operation, no external electrical current is applied to the coil, and sound energy is applied to the diaphragm to move the diaphragm, the moving diaphragm moving the coil, the moving coil creating a changing magnetic field, which creates an electrical current in the coil, which is transmitted to an external electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
