Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the sound of a speaker for center channel able to be heard from a display surface by providing a speaker unit toward the screen of a display on a connecting table to connect with a television. CONSTITUTION:A speaker for center channel 7 is formed from a connecting table 7a on which a television 3 is mounted and a speaker unit 7b arranged toward the screen of a display 3a in the front end part of it. Accordingly, sound 8 of the speaker for center channel 7 is emitted from the display unit 7b and is reflected on the screen of the display 3a and a virtual sound source 3b is generated in the inner part of the display 3b. Thus, it feels that the sound is just like sound 8 emitted from a display 3a face and reproducing is enjoyed without a sense of incongruity.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a speaker system for Dolby system A type.

(Prior Art) A conventional Dolby type A speaker system will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a front view of an AV playback device that employs a conventional speaker system, with speakers 4 for the left channel and speakers 4 for the right channel on the left and right sides of a television 3 placed across two television stands 1 and 2, respectively. A speaker 5 is disposed directly below the television 3, and a center channel speaker 6 is disposed between the left and right television stands 1 and 2, respectively.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above configuration, the positions of the sound sources 4a, 5a, and 6a of the left and right speakers 4, 5, and 6 are Since the central channel speaker 6 is located within 10 minutes, the sound from the center channel speaker 6 can be heard from below the display 3a of the television 3, resulting in a problem in that dialogue and the like sound unnatural.

The present invention solves the above problem and provides a speaker system in which the sound from the center channel speaker 6 can be heard from above the display 38.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, a speaker unit is provided on a coupling base coupled to a television 3 facing the screen of a display 3a.

(Function) With the above configuration, the sound from the speaker unit serving as the center channel is reflected on the display 38 surface, and an imaginary sound source is generated behind the display 38 surface, making it appear as if the display 38
It feels like the sound is coming from 8 sides.

(Example) Two examples of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 and 2 are a front view of a speaker system and a side sectional view of a center channel speaker, showing a first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, this embodiment is different from the conventional example shown in FIG. Speaker unit 7 placed in
b, and the TV stands 1 and 2 are no longer necessary. The rest is the same as the conventional example, so
The same components are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

The operation of the speaker system configured as above will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sound 8 of the center channel speaker 7 is emitted from the speaker unit 7b and the display 3
A virtual sound source 3b is generated at the back of the display 3a by being reflected on the screen 38, and the sound is felt as if it were the sound 9 coming from the display 38 surface.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of a center channel speaker showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, one difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is that the center channel speaker 10 is mounted on the television 3. Therefore, the coupling stand 10a has a shape that follows the top surface shape of the television 3, and the speaker unit 1
0b is arranged with its front end facing the display 3a.

The rest is the same as the first embodiment. Further, since the effect remains the same, the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the first and second embodiments, the center channel speakers 7 and 10 are single-way, sealed type speakers, but it goes without saying that multi-way, bass reflex type speakers, etc. may also be used.

As described above, according to both embodiments, the speaker unit 7 installed facing the display 3a of the television 3
b or 10b, it can be felt as if the sound is being emitted from the display 3a.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, Dolby system A
With the type speaker system, the sound from the center channel speaker feels as if it is coming from the display surface, allowing you to enjoy playback without any discomfort.
