Description
2273848 SPEAKER SYSTEM The present invention relates to a speaker system,
-and, more particularly, to a directivity-controlled speaker system of a planar array type.
One of characters to evaluate the performance of loudspeakers is "directivity". The directivity is a property that the magnitude of the sound pressure differs depending on the directions. In general, it does not necessarily mean that the wider this directivity becomes, the better the performance of loudspeakers is. The desired pattern will vary depending on the purpose of loudspeakers, i.e., the service range of the loudspeakers. For instance, a wider directivity is often demanded for an audio usage, while a narrow directivity is demanded so as to radiate sound waves in a specific direction to prevent howling or the like for public addressing.
In the case of a single speaker unit, the factors to determine the directivity of loudspeakers include the structure of the speaker unit itself, such as a cone type or horn type, and the depth of the cone of the diaphragm when it is a cone loudspeaker. There is a linear array -2type loudspeaker using a plurality of speaker units (socalled Tonsdule type) which radiates sound waves only in a specific direction. In any case, the directivity of loudspeakers is determined by the physical structure of the speaker unit itself or the arrangement of the speaker units. It takes much labor and time to produce a loudspeaker which satisfies the demanded directivity, and this production is often restricted by the size of the loudspeaker or the like. In this respect, speaker systems which use digital filters to electrically control the directivity pattern have been developed (as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. H2-239798). Fig. 1 shows a block circuit of such a speaker system.
In Fig. 1, reference numerals 1,1011, "12" and 1,1411 respectively denote a group of digital filters, a group of amplifiers and a group of loudspeakers. The digital filter group 10 includes n digital filters (e.g. , FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters 16-1, 16-2,..., and 16-n, the amplifier group 12 includes n amplifiers 18-1, 18-2,..., and 18-n, and the loudspeaker group 14 includes n full-range speaker units 20-1, 20-2,.. ., and 20-n. The digital filters 16-1, 16-2,..., and 16-n are respectively connected to the speaker units 20-1, 20-2, 000, and 20-n via the associated amplifiers 18-1, 18-2, 000, and 18-n. A common input signal is supplied to the digital filters 16-1, 16-2,..., and 16-n from a common input signal terminal IN.
With the above structure, the directivities of the speaker units 20-1, 202,, 20-n are controlled by adjusting the filter coefficients of the digital filters 16-1, 16-2,..., 16-n so that the optimal directivity of the whole loudspeaker group 14 can be attained.
In the conventional speaker system as shown in Fig. 1, when the speaker units are driven by a low-frequency signal, the speaker units vibrate to and fro, generating regular waves. When the speaker units are driven by a high-frequency signal, however, the diaphragm of each speaker unit cannot follow up the high-frequency signal and partial vibration occurs on the surface of the diaphragm. As a result, sound waves are generated in all the directions, making the directivity of the loudspeaker difficult or uncontrollable.
If each digital filter is constituted of an FIR filter, many filter taps are needed to control the directivity even at a sufficiently low frequency when the sampling frequency is high.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a speaker system which can easily control the directivity over a wide reproduction range from a low- -4frequency range to a high-frequency range.
To achieve this object, according to the present invention, there is provided a speaker system comprising a plurality of speaker units twodimensionally arranged in a vertical direction and/or a horizontal direction; and a plurality of digital filters through which a signal from a common input signal source is supplied to the plurality of speaker units, whereby directivities of the speaker units are controlled by changing characteristics of the associated digital filters, the plurality of speaker units being divided and arranged in accordance with a reproduction range of the common input signal to form a plurality of loudspeaker groups each having a plurality of speaker units, the plurality of digital filters being separated into a plurality of digital filter groups respectively connected to the plurality of loudspeaker groups and each having a plurality of digital filters respectively connected to the speaker units of the associated loudspeaker group, the plurality of digital filter groups being driven at sampling frequencies corresponding to reproduction ranges of the associated loudspeaker groups.
According to the present invention, a plurality of speaker units are divided and arranged into, for example, a loudspeaker group for treblerange reproduction and a -5loudspeaker group for mid- and bass-range reproduction in accordance with the reproduction range of a common input signal. The common input signal is supplied to the loudspeaker groups via the associated digital filter groups. The digital filter groups are driven at sampling frequencies corresponding to reproduction ranges of the associated loudspeaker groups. For instance, the sampling frequency for the digital filter group'corresponding to the loudspeaker group for treble-range reproduction is set high, while that corresponding to the loudspeaker group for mid and bass-range reproduction is set low. This structure can ensure easy control of the directivity over a wide reproduction range from a low-frequency range to a high-frequency range.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a conventional speaker system; and Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate a speaker system according to one embodiment of the present invention, and are respectively a block diagram of the speaker system and a perspective view showing the arrangement of loudspeakers.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate a speaker system according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2A being a block diagram of the speaker system while Fig. 2B is a perspective view showing the arrangement of loudspeakers.
As shown in Fig. 2A, the speaker system has one common input signal terminal IN which is connected via a high-pass filter 22 to a plurality of parallel treblerange speaker units SP, to SP,, so that the individual speaker units SP1-SP, are driven in parallel by the highfrequency component of the common input signal. As illustrated, pairs of digital filters DFl to DF, and amplifiers A, to A. are respectively inserted in series in the signal lines running from the high-pass filter 22 to the speaker units SP1-SP,. The digital filters W1-W,, amplifiers A,-A. and speaker units SPI-SP, are respectively called a digital filter group 24, an amplifier group 26, and a treble-range speaker unit group 28.
Likewise,_the common input signal terminal IN is connected via a low-pass filter 30 to a plurality of parallel mid- and bass-range speaker units SP, to SP,, so that the individual speaker units SPI-SP, are driven in parallel by the mid- and low-frequency component of the common input signal. As illustrated in Fig. 2A, pairs of -7digital filters DF, to DF, and amplifiers A, to A, are respectively inserted in series in the signal lines running from the low-pass filter 30 to the speaker units SP,-SP,,. The digital filters DFI-DF,,, amplifiers A,-A, and speaker units SP1-SP, are respectively called a digital filter group 32, an amplifier group 34, and a mid- and bass-range speaker unit group 36.
The individual digital filters DF,-DF. in the digital filter group 24 and the individual digital filters W1-W,, in the digital filter group 32 are respectively connected to signal lines 40 and 42 running from a controller (CPU) 38. Through the signal lines 40 and 42, the controller 38 sets filter coefficient data ahi and ahj, specific to the respective digital filters DF,-DF, and W1-W,, into the digital filters DPI-DF, and DFI-DF,,. The filter coefficient data ahi and ahj, which are stored in a memory 44, are sequentially set into the digital filters W1-DF, and DF,DFII by an instructional operation of an input keyboard 46.
As shown in Fig. 2B, the treblerange speaker units SPI-SP, are linearly arranged at equal intervals in one direction (for example, in the direction of the ycoordinate axis), forming a speaker array. Likewise, the mid- and bass-range speaker units SPI-SP,, are linearly arranged at equal intervals in one direction (for -8example, in the direction of the y-coordinate axis), forming a speaker array. The individual treble-range speaker units SP1-SP. preferably have the same physical characteristics or various factors (the diameter, the minimum resonance frequency, the mass of the diaphragm, etc.) which define the characteristics of the speaker units. It is also preferable that the individual mid- and bass-range speaker units SP1-SP, preferably have the same physical characteristics. The range of the reproduction frequency of the speaker units, i.e., the type of the speaker units, such as a woofer, squawker, tweeter or full range speaker, may suitably be selected, in accordance with the usage. Whether the speaker units should be retained in the respective enclosures or should be mounted on a single continuous baffle, a wall or the like, though not illustrated, would differ depending on the use of the speaker system, and the proper structure has only to be appropriately selected. In Fig. 2B, the x axis represents the direction of sound radiation, the y axis the lateral direction (or horizontal direction), and the z axis the longitudinal direction (or vertical direction).
The digital filters DFl-DF, and DFl-DF, are accomplished by a digital signal processor (DSP), and are constituted of typical linear type FIR (Finite Impulse c r Response) filters. Though not illustrated, each digital filter comprises an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) for performing arithmetic operations and logical operations which are the essential portion of signal processing, a sequencer (including a program counter, instruction registers and a decoder) for controlling an operational sequence, a ROM (Read Only Memory) where the necessary programs are stored, a RAM (Random Access Memory) for storing data, registers for temporary storage of data, an inputloutput port for exchanging data with an external unit, and a bus which connects those individual elements.
The digital f ilters DF,-DF,, and DFI-DF,, have the same structure (the same number of taps and the same coefficient for the multipliers).
In the above-described arrangement, the highfrequency component of the common input signal from the common input signal terminal IN is extracted by the highpass filter 22 (e.g., f, = 2.5 KHz). This high-frequency component is supplied to the digital filters DF,-DF, whose outputs are in turn supplied via the associated amplifiers Al-A. to the treble-range speaker units SP1-SP.. The digital filters DFI-DF, are driven at a sampling frequency f. of 20 KHz to control the directivities of the treble-range speaker units SPI-SP. within the range of 2.5 1 KHz to 10 KHz.
The high-frequency component of the common input signal from the common input signal terminal IN is cut off by the high-cut filter 30, thus yielding a mid- and low-frequency component. This mid- and low-frequency component is supplied to the digital filters DFI-DF. whose outputs are in turn supplied via the associated amplifiers Al-k to the mid- and bassrange speaker units SP1-SP,. The high-cut filter 30 may be omitted so that the common input signal is supplied directly to the digital filters W,-W,. The digital filters DFl-W, are driven at a sampling frequency F, of 5 KHz to control the dirbctivities of the mid- and bass-range speaker units SP1-SP,, within the range of 0 KHz to 5 KHz.
In the speaker system according to this embodiment of the present invention, the reproduction of the highfrequency component is executed by the treble-range speaker units, and the sampling frequency for the digital filters that controls the directivities of the treblerange speaker units is set high to control the treblerange directivity. It is therefore possible to easily control the directivity over the entire reproduction range from the mid- and low-frequency component to the high- frequency component.
__11--- If the coefficients of the multipliers of the individual digital filters are set equal to one another as in this embodiment, the coefficient data can be sent to the individual digital filters simultaneously so that the directivity can be altered spontaneously (or data transfer becomes easier). Further, only a single table is needed to store the filter coefficients of the digital filters.
Although the digital filters are constituted of FIR filters in this embodiment, they may be constituted of IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters as well.
While the individual digital filters have the same structure in this embodiment, they may take different structures.
Although the filter coefficients of the digital filters are computed by a non-linear ontimi-zing technique (proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. H3-197864) in this embodiment, the present invention can be applied to a speaker system which does not employ the optimizing technique (as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. H2239798).
As described above, according to the present invention, the reproduction of the high-frequency component is executed by the treble-range loudspeakers, and the sampling frequency for the treble-range digital filters is set high to control the treble-range directivity. Thus, the directivity can easily be 0 controlled over the wide reproduction range from the mid and bass-range to the high range.
