Abstract

An active muffle noise cancellation system having an active controller (60), a speaker housing (41) with acoustic compli-ance spaces, a duct extension means (42, 43) in communication with said speaker housing and adapted to conform a dipole radiation pattern into a plane wave which can be measured by a microphone means (46).
