Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit for the remote control of microphones.
  • the power supply of microphones is conventionally provided by a power supply source, for example, using a mixer.
  • a power supply source for example, using a mixer.
  • the positive pole of the feed voltage is applied through two identical feeder resistances through two cable conductors of the audio cable.
  • the return of the current occurs through a third conductor connected to pin 1 of an XLR plug.
  • the current consumption of the microphone should be as small as possible to prevent an excessively large voltage drop at the feeder resistances.
  • the maximum current consumption with 48-V capacitor microphones is 10 mA.
  • the phantom power supply is here standardized according to DIN EN 61938 (formerly IEC 268).
  • the microphone membrane To generate the polarization voltage on the microphone membrane, whose value is usually in the range of 20-100 volts dc, one uses primarily combinatorial circuit parts or voltage converters.
  • the remaining microphone electronics are usually supplied with power by a linear regulation, which maintains either the supply feed voltage or the supply current at a predetermined value.
  • this type of power supply is appropriate.
  • the linear regulation becomes problematic when the power consumption in the microphone increases, for example, by the use of processors, A/D converters, LED displays, etc. In this case, a large portion of the energy that is made available by the phantom power supply is destroyed in the linear regulation elements.
  • the phantom power supply since, according to the standard, the phantom power supply is limited in its current by the feeder resistances, the maximum supply voltage for the audio amplifier immediately decreases due to the linear regulation in the microphone, which results in a reduction of the maximal audio output voltage of the microphone.
  • microphones there is an increasing need to be able to regulate or to change important microphone parameters via remote control. These parameters include the polarization voltage on the membrane and the associated sensitivity of the capacitor microphone, the directional characteristic of the microphone, the type of the phantom power supply (12 V, 24 V or 48 V), a series number, calibration data from the manufacturer, as well as a weakening of the signal and a connectable filter for the audio signal.
  • DE 3 933 870 A1 discloses a method for the remote control of microphone parameters, such as directional characteristic, step sound filter, or preliminary damning.
  • the supply voltage transferred to the cable conductor is regulated via a remote control unit, for example, in the mixing table, in such a manner that its amount represents control information for the microphone.
  • the supply voltage is uncoupled and applied to an evaluation circuit, which generates a control signal as a function of the amount of the supply voltage.
  • the power made available by the phantom power supply is optimally used and converted into the operational voltages required for the individual output receives, such as audio amplifier, microphone capsule, processors, controller, A/D converter, LED displays, etc.
  • the goal is to be able to use as large as possible a proportion of the power made available by the phantom power supply for supplying the audio amplifier.
  • a microphone comprising a power supply circuit for the individual power receivers, which microphone is characterized in that the power supply circuit comprises a control unit that converts the direct current transmitted via the cable conductors of the audio cable into an alternating current, a transformer connected to the control unit, and supply loops for the individual power receivers, where supply loops are inductively coupled by means of separate windings on the transformer to the alternating current generated by the control unit and to each other.
  • a power supply circuit for example, a DC/DC converter, which has the following properties.
  • the power supply circuit is regulated or operated in such a manner that there is a power adaptation to the phantom power unit. Therefore, the maximum possible power that the phantom power unit makes available can always be consumed by the power supply circuit of the microphone.
  • the primary current consumption of the power supply circuit is constant. The power supply circuit therefore behaves, with the respect to the phantom power unit, as a constant-current sink.
  • the individual supply loops for the individual power receivers are uncoupled in the power supply circuit by means of a transformer, to satisfy the different requirements of the individual power receivers: high voltages and small currents for polarization voltage, moderate voltage, and moderate current consumption for the audio amplifier, as well as small voltages and large currents for the digital electronics, with as little power loss as possible.
  • a capacitor microphone according to the invention uses the presented power supply concept, the electrical power made available by the phantom power unit is optimally used.
  • microphones can be fitted with new functions (for example, remote control, new operating concept, automatic compensation possibilities, etc.) while the maximal audio output voltage of the microphone remains the same.
  • the generation of the essentially power-free polarization voltage occurs practically as a secondary product by a simple additional winding on the transformer.
  • An additional advantage is that as a result of the use of as high an ohm level as possible, with a constant power source at the input of the power supply circuit, the switch ripple of the power supply circuit or of the DC/DC converter can very easily be filtered out.
  • a frequency-modulated voltage is overlaid on the supply voltage of the phantom power supply.
  • a data transfer occurs from a transmitter, which is arranged, for example, in the mixing table or in a device before the mixing table, via the audio lines to the microphone.
  • the carrier frequency for the FSK modulation here is higher than the audio frequency range to be transmitted by the microphone.
  • the carrier frequencies for the modulation are preferably approximately 100 kHz, and they can be separated from the audio signal using filters.
  • a capacitor microphone characterized in that the capacitor microphone comprises at least one circuit for regulating the polarization voltage, where the circuit for the regulation of the polarization voltage comprises an analog regulation loop supplied with an unregulated voltage, and a digital regulation loop, in that the digital regulation loop comprises a control electronics, for example a microcontroller or a CPLD, that provides, to the analog regulation loop, a desired value for the polarization voltage, which is calculated using correction factors, and in that, for the purpose of feedback, the output of the analog regulation loop is connected with a control electronics.
  • the capacitor microphone comprises at least one circuit for regulating the polarization voltage
  • the circuit for the regulation of the polarization voltage comprises an analog regulation loop supplied with an unregulated voltage
  • a digital regulation loop in that the digital regulation loop comprises a control electronics, for example a microcontroller or a CPLD, that provides, to the analog regulation loop, a desired value for the polarization voltage, which is calculated using correction factors, and in that, for the purpose of feedback, the output of the analog regulation loop is
  • the polarization voltage is adjusted by a voltage regulation loop that is integrated in the microphone.
  • the desired value of the polarization voltage is preestablished in this circuit via a D/A converter by a control electronics.
  • the desired value of the polarization voltage can also be transmitted by remote control to the control electronics.
  • the tolerance of the obtained polarization voltage now depends on the tolerance and the thermal behavior of a reference voltage source.
  • the regulation of the polarization voltage via a digitally controlled regulation loop in the microphone allows a very precise, interference-resistant, and remote-controllable adjustment of the polarization voltage of capacitor microphones.
  • the remote-controllable adjustment of the polarization voltage has the advantage that readjustments by fixed resistances or trim resistances are no longer necessary; this fact has a positive effect with respect to cost.
  • the different microphone sensitivities can be compensated for and the required correction factors needed to compensate the polarization voltage can be stored.
  • the polarization voltage can be calibrated during an acoustical measurement with closed microphone, and correction factors can again be stored.
  • the microphone can acoustically follow moving actors, for example, in the performance of an opera.
  • a capacitor microphone according to the invention allows an aging-caused recalibration of the microphone sensitivity, without having to disassemble the microphone, which again means a cost saving for the customer.
  • the original sensitivity of the microphone can thus be readjusted later, that is, after the incorporation, by remote control.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram that shows the principal components of a microphone according to the invention.
  • the phantom power supply of the microphone shown in Fig. 5 , is carried out by a phantom supply unit 31 through feeder resistances 32, 33 of identical magnitude, which are arranged behind the 3-pole plug 4, for example, an XLR plug, in or before the mixing table.
  • a phantom power supply is shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the associated values of the feeder resistances for a 12-V, 24-V, or 48-V supply are 680 S2, 1.2 kS2, or 6.8 k ⁇ , respectively.
  • the lines 1 and 2 here represent cable conductors supplied by the phantom supply unit; line 3 represents the ground line that is usually connected to the grounded cable shielding.
  • line 3 represents the ground line that is usually connected to the grounded cable shielding.
  • the resistances 5 and 6 are the feeder resistances in the microphone. They are used for decoupling the power supply of the microphone from the output of the audio amplifier 10.
  • the feeder resistances of the microphones 5 and 6 are assigned as additional internal resistances of the phantom power supply 31. Power adaptation exists when the internal resistance of the phantom power unit is identical to the internal resistance of the power supply circuit 11 in the microphone.
  • the power supply circuit 11 comprises a power source 13, a control unit 12, and a transformer 14 connected to the control unit 12.
  • the control unit 12 with the transformer 14 forms a circuit unit, where the DC voltage is converted into AC voltage.
  • the transformer is a part of the oscillation generating circuit.
  • alternating current can also be generated by the control unit 12 independently of the transformer.
  • the control unit 12 then consists of an oscillating circle that is independent of the transformer, and which generates alternating current.
  • the transformer only serves the function of converting the alternating current into the individual output voltages.
  • the AC signal has a frequency in the range of 100-130 kHz.
  • the AC signal can also be freely oscillating; this represents the simplest embodiment possibility for such a circuit.
  • the only important factor is that the frequency range of the AC signal must lie outside of the audio frequency range in order to not produce any interferences with the audio signal, which interferences cannot be eliminated by simple filtering.
  • the frequency should also not be too high, because otherwise the degree of efficiency of the circuit decreases and transmission interferences can be expected.
  • An additional advantage of using a frequency of 100-130 kHz is that this frequency can also be used as cycle pulse for a control electronics 39 that is provided in the microphone. As a result, the interfering signals generated by digital technology are minimized, because no additional mixed products are produced between the digital cycle time and the oscillation frequency of the DC/DC converter.
  • the produced AC signal is applied to a transformer 14.
  • a transformer 14 As a result of the individually separated windings on the transformer, separate current loops 15, 16, 17 are produced for supplying the individual energy-consuming parts.
  • This uncoupling allows, with as small as possible a power loss, the simultaneous supply of consumers that require high voltages but low current, as well as consumers with high current consumption and low voltage.
  • the diodes 18, 19, 20 and the capacitors 21, 22, 23 in the individual supply loops 15, 16, 17 represent a rectifier circuit for converting AC voltage into DC voltage.
  • Supply loop 16 serves to supply the microphone capsule 9 with the polarization voltage, which is applied via a resistance 8 to the microphone capsule 9.
  • the invention is of course not restricted to capacitor microphones, since any kind of microphones, in particular dynamic microphones, can be connected to a phantom power supply.
  • the individual power receivers are supplied by the phantom power unit in the same way as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 . But in the case of dynamic microphones a polarisation voltage is not necessary, therefore supply loop 16 is not needed.
  • a constant-current generator 13 at the input of the DC/DC converter ensures a constant primary current uptake.
  • the constant-current generator 13, with respect to the phantom power unit 31, behaves like a constant-current sink and it represents a constant-current generator for the power supply circuit 11.
  • An electrical component of this type is very well known to a person skilled in the art who is familiar with the state of the art. Circuit examples for constant-current generators from the state of the art are shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Fig.
  • FIG. 3 shows a "transistor LED” constant-current generator with a bipolar transistor.
  • the LED With this current generator, the LED is operated in the flow direction. As a result, a constant voltage is applied to the LED, with such a voltage also being applied to the series connection of the base emitter diode of the transistor with the emitter resistance.
  • the circuit in Fig. 4 contains a constant-current generator with two counter coupled degenerated transistors 28, 29 with an additional integrated constant-current generator 30.
  • This circuit is preferred because of better properties in view of a constant-current and a higher starting resistance.
  • the current generator 30, at the preliminary resistance Rc generates a voltage drop that is equal to the voltage drop U Rc at the emitter resistance Re of the transistor 28.
  • the transistor 29 forms, with transistor 28, a counter coupled degenerate system that ensures identical voltage drops at the resistances Rc and Re. As a result, the current I of the current generator is also kept constant.
  • the current of the current generator 30 is therefore smaller by a factor of 100 than the constant-current that finally flows into the DC/DC converter 11.
  • constant-current generators can also be provided, for example, a current generator with an inverted operation amplifier, Howland current generators, etc.
  • the supply voltage generated by the power supply circuit 11 for the audio amplifier 10 is not regulated in a preferred embodiment.
  • a regulation circuit 47, 48 is provided between diode 18 and resistance 8, comprising of a digital regulation loop 47 and an analog regulation loop 48, provided for the polarization voltage applied to the microphone capsule 9.
  • Fig. 6 in combination with Fig. 7 illustrates such a preferably remote controllable, regulation circuit 47, 48.
  • the control signals required for the regulation of the polarization voltage can be transmitted through at least one of the two cable conductors 1, 2.
  • the detailed structure and the method of operation of such a regulation circuit 47, 48 are described further below.
  • no regulation circuit is provided in the supply loop 15 for the audio amplifier 10.
  • the entire power - which is not used for other circuit parts, such as processors, control electronics 39, polarization voltage at the microphone capsule 9, A/D or D/A converter 44, 46, LED displays 25 - is available for the audio amplifier 10.
  • a high maximal audio output voltage can be achieved in a current-saving design of the audio amplifier 10, to achieve a high maximal audio output voltage.
  • the supply voltage for the audio amplifier 10 as a result can also exceed the voltage made available by the phantom power supply. Because of the method of action of the power supply circuit 11, it is also possible to produce very simple positive and negative supply voltages for the audio amplifier 10. As a result, the audio amplifier 10 can also use grounding as the rest potential. The supply feed voltage of the audio amplifier (10) can therefore be symmetrically with respect to the grounding.
  • the DC/DC converter 11 of the above described type works with a degree of efficiency of approximately 82%. Because, even in the most advantageous case, power is lost at DC/DC converters, it is advantageous to series-connect, if possible, the consumers to the DC/DC converter. As a result of the use of a constant-current generator 13, it is easily possible to connect consumers with constant-current consumption, for example, a logic supply 24, to make available a fixed direct current, for example, for a control electronics 39, or LED display 25, A/D or D/A converter 44, 46, etc., in series to the DC/DC converter 11.
  • constant-current generator 13 it is easily possible to connect consumers with constant-current consumption, for example, a logic supply 24, to make available a fixed direct current, for example, for a control electronics 39, or LED display 25, A/D or D/A converter 44, 46, etc., in series to the DC/DC converter 11.
  • FIG. 2 A corresponding embodiment of the power supply circuit 11 is shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the difference, compared to Fig. 1 is that only the polarization voltage and the voltage for the audio amplifier 10 are generated through the DC/DC converter.
  • the other consumers like the logic supply 24 for making available a fixed predetermined direct current, for example, for a control electronics 39, or LED displays 25, are series-connected to the DC/DC converter.
  • the series-connected DC/DC converter 11 for the digital supply acts as an active load resistance, where the energy used at this resistance is not converted into heat but, in a majority proportion, is converted to a usable supply power for the audio amplifier 10 and the polarization voltage on the microphone capsule 9.
  • a Zener diode 27 is provided, which is particularly well suited for stabilizing the voltage. Through this diode 27, any current that is not consumed, but delivered by the constant-current generator 13, is released to the grounding. In principle, one can use, instead of the Zener diode 27, any other constant-current generator or a shunt regulator.
  • the released power is the product of the current of the constant-current generator 13 and the voltage applied to the power supply circuit 11.
  • the entire voltage is applied to the DC/DC converter 11 and all the voltages are generated through the DC/DC converter.
  • the voltage is divided into a portion that is applied to the DC/DC converter 11 and a second portion that is applied to the LEDs 25 and the digital supply.
  • the DC/DC converter represents an active preliminary resistance for the LEDs 25 or the digital supply. Since the current consumption of the digital supply is not constant, but the current I is kept constant by the current generator 13, the excess current that exists, depending on the state of operation of the digital electronics, has to be bled off through the Zener diode 27.
  • the power P I x voltage available at the DC/DC converter x degree of efficiency of the DC/DC converter is available.
  • the power P I x voltage at the digital electronics and LEDs is available.
  • the current consumption of the audio amplifier 10, in the uncontrolled state is approximately 0.8 mA
  • the current consumption of the digital electronics is approximately 4.2 mA.
  • the current generator 13 delivers a constant-current of approximately 4.7 mA.
  • This voltage is much higher than the voltage of 24 V delivered by the phantom power supply unit 31 during power adaptation.
  • the polarization voltage is also generated on the membrane of the capsule 9, the value of the supply voltage of the audio amplifier 10, which is actually reached, is slightly lower than this value, but still much higher than the 24 V available without the DC/DC converter.

  • the frequency-modulated signal is generated by FSK (frequency shift keying) or CPFSK (continuous phase FSK). Both modulations are procedures that are known from digital data transfer technology. In principle, it also possible to use ASK (amplitude shifting keying) or PSK (phase shift keying) modulation. However, ASK is much more likely to be subject to interferences, and PSK modulation is more difficult to carry out from the point of view of circuit technology. In contrast to the known applications of the above-mentioned methods, in the case of use in microphones, the crucial factor is that the modulated signal has to be separated from an analog signal, the audio signal.

Only the audio signals that come from the microphone 54 must be transmitted. To make the suppression of the modulation frequencies simpler, the modulation is carried out on both audio lines 1, 2 with the same level.
  • the frequency-modulated signal appears as a common mode signal for the input-difference amplifier 42 and thus it can, as a common mode signal, be appropriately suppressed.
