Abstract

Two bass drive units are built into a common enclosure and remain acoustically coupled via the internal space. The drive units are driven in antiphase by two similar amplifiers. The original sound signal Ug(t) is fed to the input to one of the amplifiers, while the differentiated value d/dt[Ug(t)] is fed to the other amplifier using a differential circuit at the input.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Grundkonzept des Antriebs eines aktiven Subwoofers mit 2 Tieftonchassis. Beide Chassis sollen so angesteuert werden, dass möglichst präzise und im Bassbereich erweiterte Wiedergabe erreicht wird. Diese Erfindung findet ihre Anwendung bei den Subwoofern, denn gerade begrenztes Innenvolumen bei kleinen Gehäusen stellt einen limitierenden Faktor bei der Wiedergabe der Bässe dar. Viele Vorrichtungen zur Verbesserung der Wiedergabe im Bassbereich sind ausführlich in der Literatur beschrieben worden, z.B.: „Lautsprecherbau", Vance Dickason, Elektor-Verlag.The invention relates to a basic concept the drive of an active subwoofer with 2 woofers. Both Chassis should be controlled in such a way that they expand as precisely as possible and in the bass range Playback is reached. This invention finds application with the subwoofers, because just limited internal volume with small ones Housing is a limiting factor in the reproduction of the bass. Many devices for improving the reproduction in the bass range are detailed have been described in the literature, e.g .: "loudspeaker construction", Vance Dickason, Elektor-Verlag.

Das Problem der Nachgiebigkeit der Luft in einer geschlossenen Box, speziell bei der Tieftonwiedergabe, lässt sich anhand der Darstellung in 1 näher erklären. Bei hohen Pegeln ist (aufgrund der relativ grossen Membranauslenkung und deren Fläche) das Luftvolumen, das vom Chassis C1 bewegt wird, besonders gross und das Luftvolumen in der Box, das sich der Membranbewegung entgegensetzt, relativ klein. So entsteht im Innenraum ein Gegendruck, abhängig davon, in welcher Richtung sich die Membran bewegt (Kommpression oder Extension der Luft). Diese Kräfte wirken einer linearen Membranauslenkung in Abhängigkeit von der Antriebssteuerung entgegen. Der maximale Gegendruck in einer geschlossenen Gehäuse entspricht dem Peak der Membranauslenkung, weswegen die Verwendung bestimmter Aktivfilter zur Bassanhebung bei hohen Pegeln mehr nichtlineare Verzerrungen als Folge hat. Bei einem Bass-Reflex-System gewährleistet ein Rohr (Helmholzresonator) oder eine passive Membran eine gewisse „Atmungsaktivität" im Innenraum, womit diese bremsende Wirkung auf die Membran bei hohen Pegeln etwas geschwächt wird, was in einem erweiterten Bewegungsumfang der Membran bei gleichen Verzerrungen resultiert.The problem of the resilience of the air in a closed box, especially in the low frequency reproduction, can be seen from the illustration in 1 explain in detail. At high levels (due to the relatively large membrane deflection and its area), the air volume that is moved by the chassis C1 is particularly large and the air volume in the box that opposes the membrane movement is relatively small. This creates a back pressure in the interior, depending on the direction in which the membrane is moving (compression or extension of the air). These forces counteract a linear diaphragm deflection depending on the drive control. The maximum back pressure in a closed housing corresponds to the peak of the membrane deflection, which is why the use of certain active filters for bass boost at high levels results in more nonlinear distortions. In a bass reflex system, a tube (Helmholz resonator) or a passive membrane ensures a certain "breathability" in the interior, which weakens this braking effect on the membrane at high levels, which results in an expanded range of movement of the membrane with the same distortion ,

Durch den 2-Phasen-Antrieb ist es möglich, den Spitzenwert des Gegendrucks im Gehaüse zu reduzieren. Außerdem entsteht im Innenraum der Box eine maximale Kompression, bevor die Auslenkung der Membran ihr Maximum erreicht hat. So bleibt dem Verstärker eine gewisse Kraftreserve, um die Membran bis zum Peak weiter dagegen zu zwingen. Da sich die beiden Membranen in Gegenrichtungen bewegen und deren Auslenkung gleich ist, als der Gegendruck im Gehäuse gerade seinen Spitzenwert erreicht, entsteht ein „Beschleunigungseffekt", welcher dynamische Eigenschaften bei der Sprunganregung verbessert. Um diese verbesserte Dynamik zu erreichen, werden beide Chassis gegenphasig angesteuert und zwar so, dass erfindungsgemäß am Eingang eines von beiden Versterkern das Originaltonsignal Ug(t), während als Eingangssignal des anderen sein differenzierter Wert (matematisch d/dt[Ug(t)], mittels einer Differenschaltung als Vorstufe, eingespeist ist.Due to the 2-phase drive it is possible the Reduce peak back pressure in the housing. It also arises inside the box a maximum compression before the deflection the membrane has reached its maximum. So the amplifier remains one certain power reserve to continue to push the membrane up to the peak to force. Because the two membranes move in opposite directions and whose deflection is the same as the counter pressure in the housing reaches its peak, there is an "acceleration effect" which is dynamic Jump stimulation properties improved. To improve this To achieve dynamics, both chassis are driven in opposite phases in such a way that according to the invention at the entrance one of both amplifiers the original sound signal Ug (t), while as The other's input signal its differentiated value (mathematical d / dt [Ug (t)], by means of a differential circuit as a preliminary stage.

Durch die Beschreibung des PA-Anspruches wird ein akustischer Kurzschluss verhindert, wobei viele unten aufgezählte Vorteile eines reinen Pushpull-Antriebs ein verbessertes dynamisches Verhalten der Box bewirken.The description of the PA claim will An acoustic short circuit prevents many advantages listed below of a pure push pull drive an improved dynamic behavior effect the box.

Die Funktionsweise des dynamischen Pushpull-Antriebs (kurz DPP-Antrieb) wird gemäß seinem Blockschaltbild in 2 erklärt. Bei einem Pushpullantrieb sind zwei Tieftonchassis, nämlich C1 und C2, in eine Box untergebracht und mit 2 Verstärkern gegenphasig betrieben, wie dies in 2 dargestellt ist. Gegenphasige Membranbewegung von C1 und C2 bewirkt es, dass sich der Luftdruck im Innenraum der Box gar nicht verändern lässt. Die Bewegung der beiden Membran wird durch akustische Koppelung gegenseitig „dynamisch unterstützt", indem eine Membran die andere wechselhaft druckt bzw. zieht. Dadurch wird das Ausschwingen der Membran bei einer Impulsanregung sehr reduziert. Jedoch frontal wird kein Schall abgestrallt, da es gegenphasiger Antrieb akustischen Kurzschluss zwischen C1 und C2 bewirkt . Um aufgezählte Vorteile des Pushpull-Antriebs noch ausnutzen, und der Schall frontal doch noch erzeugen zu können, wird erfindungsgemäß das System so modifiziert, wie dies in 2 dargestellt ist, dass
PA) am Eingang eines von beiden Versterkern das Originalsignal Ug(t), während als Eingangssignal des anderen sein differenzierter Wert (matematisch d/dt[Ug(t)], mittels einer Differenzschaltung als Vorstufe, eingespeist ist.
The mode of operation of the dynamic pushpull drive (DPP drive for short) is shown in its block diagram in 2 explained. In a push-pull drive, two woofers, namely C1 and C2, are housed in one box and operated with 2 amplifiers in phase opposition, as shown in 2 is shown. The opposite phase membrane movement of C1 and C2 means that the air pressure inside the box cannot be changed at all. The movement of the two diaphragms is "dynamically supported" by acoustic coupling, in that one diaphragm alternately presses or pulls the other. This greatly reduces the swinging out of the diaphragm in the event of pulse excitation. However, no sound is emitted from the front, since it drives acoustically in opposite phases In order to take advantage of the listed advantages of the push pull drive and still be able to generate the sound from the front, the system is modified according to the invention as shown in 2 is shown that
PA) the input signal Ug (t) at the input of one of the two amplifiers, while its differentiated value (matematically d / dt [Ug (t)] is fed in as input signal to the other by means of a differential circuit as a preliminary stage.

3 Subwoofer mit DPP-Antrieb 3 Subwoofer with DPP drive

Ein Subwoofer wird im Interesse maximaler Klangpräzision als geschlossene Box realisiert. Geschlossene Bauweisen klirren bei hohen Pegeln zwar deutlich, jedoch ohne begleitendes Rauschen, das im Bassreflextunel beim Bass-Reflex-Konzept erzeugt wird. Zwei gleiche Basschassis werden mit 2 Verstärkern gegenphasig betrieben. Um DPP-Antrieb zu realisieren, wird nun eine Vorstufe als Phasenfilter benutzt, die eine konstante Phasenverschiebung des Signals Ug(t) von 90 Grad im ganzen Übertragungsbereich des Subwoofers zu gewährleisten hat.A subwoofer is considered in the interest of maximum sound precision closed box realized. Closed construction methods clink high levels clearly, but without accompanying noise, which in the Bass reflex tunel is generated with the bass reflex concept. Two of the same Bass chassis come with 2 amplifiers operated in phase opposition. To DPP drive too a pre-stage is now used as a phase filter a constant phase shift of the signal Ug (t) of 90 degrees in the entire transmission range of the subwoofer Has.
