Abstract

Druckkammertreiber, mit einer in einem ringförmigen Luftspalt 2 eines Magnetsystems 1 beweglichen Schwingspule 3 und mit einer von der Schwingspule 3 angetriebenen Membran. Die Membran 5 und die Druckkammer 12 sind ringförmig ausgebildet, und die Druckkammer 12 steht über ihren Umfang mit einem zentralen Schallaustrittskanal 14 in Verbindung. Die Membran 5 hat aufgrund ihrer ringförmigen Ausbildung eine große wirksame Fläche bei gleichzeitig geringer Masse. Die Speiseleistung ist daher verhältnismäßig gering, die Resonanzfrequenz ist hoch, und damit ist auch die Wiedergabetreue hoher Frequenzen verbessert. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die Membran im Querschnitt V-förmig, vorzugsgweise zu dem von ihr eingeschlossenen spitzen Winkel hin gewölbt ausgebildet ist.

Figure 00000001
Pressure chamber driver, with a voice coil 3 movable in an annular air gap 2 of a magnet system 1 and with a membrane driven by the voice coil 3. The membrane 5 and the pressure chamber 12 are ring-shaped, and the pressure chamber 12 communicates with a central sound outlet channel 14 over its circumference. The membrane 5 has a large effective area with a low mass due to its annular design. The feed power is therefore relatively low, the resonance frequency is high, and thus the fidelity of high frequencies is also improved. This is particularly the case when the membrane is V-shaped in cross-section, preferably arched toward the acute angle enclosed by it.
