Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the articulation of a reproduced sound in a noisy atmosphere by passing an input signal through a 2-3KHz band amplifier, bringing this amplifier under control based upon the detected DC voltage of a noise signal, and mixing the input signal with the output signal of the amplifier and performing reproduction. CONSTITUTION:A sound detected by a microphone 10 for noise detection contains a signal and a noise. Its output is applied to a band amplifier 12 through a preamplifier 11 to extract only the noise. This noise is converted by a detector 13 into a DC voltage, which is supplied to a band amplifier 17 with a 2-3KHz band through a waiting circuit 14 for making articulation to correspond to the band noise. The output of an acoustic reproducing device 15, on the other band, is amplified by an amplifier 16; part of its output is supplied directly to an adder 18 and the remainder is gain-controlled by the band amplifier 17 and then inputted to the adder 18. The output of the adder 18 is supplied to a speaker 20 through a power amplifier 19.

Generally, it is used for sweating in the interior of a car or under various noises.
When reproducing an acoustic signal such as a voice, there is a phenomenon in which the reproduced acoustic signal is masked by noise, and this masking phenomenon causes a problem in that the clarity of the reproduced sound is reduced. For this reason, conventional methods have been used in which the listener increases the tonal range of the reproduced sound to maintain clarity, or detects noise and automatically increases the tonal range of the reproduced sound. However, with this conventional method, there is a limit to the maximum output power of the device that drives the speaker, and there is a risk that the microphone for detecting underground noise may react to the intended signal and malfunction. .

Such a circuit system will be discussed below. The most sensitive frequency for human hearing is 2KH2 to 3' (Z), which is generally shown in the loudness curve.
When considering the masking phenomenon, it is known that the masker (noise) of the low frequency component has a wide influence on the high frequency range. Furthermore, normal music components (tapes, records), etc., do not contain many of these components at ultra-low sweat levels of 60H2 or below due to problems during cutting or dubbing, and furthermore, high-frequency components are not often included as components of musical instruments. From these points, the clarity can be improved without increasing the overall volume much. Furthermore, even if the signal generated from the speaker is detected by the microphone, it is passed through a bandpass filter of 5oH2.
If you set the following, there will be no problem. That is, the signal level in the noise detection band does not increase either. Here, the weighting circuit 14 is such that the listener can appropriately set the gain of the band increaser from 2 to aKH2, assuming various noise spectra. For example, it has been experimentally confirmed that in the case of car noise, etc., the intelligibility becomes constant with an increase of about 1:0.2 relative to the increase in noise (1J).

As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the intelligibility of the eight voices of music under noisy conditions by 1 ml without increasing the overall sound quality by 1 ml. 2) It is possible to eliminate the distortion determined by the electrolytic erosion voltage which occurs in the conventional system which increases the overall chasm, thereby contributing to energy saving. This is especially effective in systems where sound must be reproduced in noisy environments such as when an automatic system is in use, due to the battery in the middle and the size of the speaker.
