Definitions
- the invention relates to a low-frequency diaphragm speaker for converting electrical into acoustic signals.
- the invention relates to a low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker with a transducer from electrical to mechanical vibrations connected to a diaphragm which converts the mechanical vibrations into sound.
- the housing is a closed, airtight box, with the help of which the rear-emitted wavefront the membrane is prevented from coinciding with that emitted on the front of the membrane.
- the air in the enclosure slows the forward and backward movement of the diaphragm, which increases the resonance frequency of the speaker system.
- Frequencies ie in the low frequency range, can only be generated with large membranes, because only with these it is possible to produce low tones.
- the large membrane is installed in a relatively small housing, low tones will not emitted because the air cushion on the back of the membrane slows down the movement of the membrane.
- the housing of the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker must be chosen to be very large.
- loudspeakers are sold in the consumer sector and used by end users, the maximum size of the loudspeakers is limited.
- Another known low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker has a loudspeaker base body which is surrounded by a closed housing which contains pressure equalization openings on its rear side (DE 19601217 Cl, EP-0456416 A2). These openings reduce the air cushion stiffness of the membrane and facilitate the membrane work through pressure equalization, so that the housing can be chosen a little smaller for a good reproduction than when completely closed
- the sound emitted at the back of the diaphragm is not eliminated, but rather made partially usable.
- a precisely defined opening in the housing connected to tunnels or channels or a passive membrane lets the rear sound outwards.
- the opening acts as a pure pressure compensation opening or in certain frequency ranges as a sound amplifier.
- the rear sound no longer extinguishes the front sound in certain frequency ranges, but amplifies it.
- This cavity resonance can be influenced by changing the housing volume or the sound-permeable opening or the passive membrane.
- the rear sound comes out to the outside and, together with the sound from the front of the membrane, results in high sound radiation.
- the amplifier and the restoring force of the membrane act in the same direction. As a result, the area around the resonance frequency is reproduced very loudly.
- the resonance frequency of the well-known low-frequency diaphragm loudspeakers lies in the working range of the loudspeaker, and thus between 15 Hz and 200 Hz. A lifelike reproduction of sounds in the range of the resonance frequency is therefore not possible without additional means.
- attempts are made to monitor this resonance range using complex electronic aids. Sensors and circuits are used that recognize and report the position of the membrane, so that the volume of the resonance frequency range can be regulated with suitable electronic control circuits.
- Known sensors are capacitive or inductive
- Displacement sensors or light barriers into which, for example, a wedge attached to the membrane is immersed are Displacement sensors or light barriers into which, for example, a wedge attached to the membrane is immersed.
- a disadvantage of conventional low-frequency diaphragm loudspeakers has been the fact that complex amplifier technology is required to control the loudspeaker. Seen from the amplifier, these form a very strong inductive impedance with active and reactive components. As a result, the impedance fluctuates between approx. 2 and 80 ⁇ over the playback range. In addition, the
- Loudspeaker as a voltage generator that outputs counter voltages to the amplifier, which act in phase opposition to the voltage of the amplifier. For this reason, an electronically very complex technology is necessary for the amplifier to Approximately compensate for voltage and resistance fluctuations from the loudspeaker.
- the object of the invention is to provide the best possible low-frequency diaphragm speaker.
- the solution to this problem is to design the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker mentioned at the outset in such a way that the rear sound is converted through a very small opening in the base body of the loudspeaker into non-disturbing, for example around 100 times quieter noise. Furthermore, according to the invention, the base body or the housing of the loudspeaker is kept small in order to set the resonance frequency accordingly high.
- the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker according to the invention has the advantage that the tones of the low-frequency range, particularly between 30 Hz and the lower hearing limit of 16 Hz, are not canceled out, but are reproduced as pure sinusoidal tones. Since the resonance frequency is completely outside the working range of the loudspeaker, volume distortion, as is unavoidable in the prior art in the range of the resonance frequency, is excluded. The resonance frequency in the range of the mid-range or high range makes it possible to transmit the entire low range in accordance with the feeding electrical signal with virtually no errors.
- the basic body which acts as a very small housing, reduces the air cushion size on the back of the membrane. This advantageously increases the resonance frequency of the system. It is particularly favorable to choose the size of the base body so that the resonance frequency is still in the transmission range of the system, but above the working range lies. It is also advantageous to supply the sound from the rear of the membrane directly to the small opening in the base body or in the housing, which acts as a very small membrane in relation to the membrane emitting useful sound. The sound pressure of the membrane that emits the desired useful sound with a small stroke is transformed into noise at the small, rear opening, which emerges from the opening with a large stroke and high movement speed and is noticeable as an acoustically non-disturbing air flow.
- the volume of this air emerging at the opening is approximately 100 times lower than the volume of the useful sound of the membrane. It has also proven to be particularly favorable to choose the depth of the opening so small that there is no air volume or only a negligibly small volume which does not oppose the sound pressure present at the opening to any appreciable air resistance. In order to generate harmonic waves, it has proven to be particularly advantageous to determine a minimum cross section for the area reduction opening.
- the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker according to the invention in which the resonance frequency is removed from the working range, advantageously means that monitoring of the resonance range is not necessary. This eliminates the need for complex electronic monitoring circuits.
- the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker according to the invention is characterized in that it represents a linear impedance for the preceding amplifier over the entire working range without any significant deviation.
- the amplification is real, almost without imaginary part, because the impedance of the coil only affects above the working range, ie the loudspeaker provides the amplifier approximately a purely resistive load. This makes a considerably simplified amplifier technology possible, since an electronically very complex technology for compensating for voltage and resistance fluctuations can be omitted.
- an open base body is used, which is inserted into a small housing.
- the opening is integrated in the housing.
- the operation of this embodiment of the low-frequency diaphragm speaker otherwise corresponds to that mentioned above.
- the opening can be formed by a cutting gap.
- the cutting edge is preferably made of metal, but can also be made of an easily manufactured plastic injection molded part or of other suitable materials and is attached to the housing e.g. connected by screwing, jamming, etc. It is particularly advantageous that, if necessary, a fine adjustment after the
- the cutting edge makes it possible to keep the depth of the opening desirably small.
- the opening can be formed in a thin-walled perforated plate, for example, as a hole or slot.
- a further embodiment of the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker provides for this opening to be provided as an opening in the housing or base body that tapers from the inside outwards in a conical or step-like manner, which has a large area on the inside of the housing and outwards in an opening with a very small size Area opens.
- the efficiency of the low-frequency diaphragm loudspeaker can be adjusted with a layer of insulation in front of the rear wall of the loudspeaker.
- the loudspeaker can be manufactured in a particularly simple manner in terms of production technology if the housing is closed at the end of the assembly with an angle piece with a leg which ends in a cutting shape and which avoids the opening.
- the insulation layer can fill the entire rear area in the housing before opening. However, it is also possible to arrange insulation material in front of the opening and / or on the rear wall of the housing.

- a space 18 between the partition 17 and the rear wall 13 of the loudspeaker is filled with insulating material 26.
- this space 18 is in a suitable manner, e.g. by gluing, an elbow 20 with one of its two legs 21 attached to the rear wall 13.
- the second leg 22 of the angle piece 20 closes the housing 10 except for a small gap 23 which forms an opening, the leg 22 running out on its inside toward the opening 23 in a long, flat bevel 24.
