また、本技術を適用した音響管は、図2に示した例に限らず、外形寸法が音響経路の長さ未満であり、2以上の複数の箇所から外部に音波が放出されるような開口部分を有するものであれば、どのようなものであってもよい。以下では、図4乃至図11を参照して、そのような音響管の他の構成例について説明する。なお、図4乃至図11において、図3における場合と対応する部分には同一の符号を付してあり、その説明は適宜省略する。
〈音響管の構成例〉
また、図5に示す例では、音響管121は、内部が中空となっている円筒状の管を山型に変形させて得られたものであり、音響管121の図中、手前側には図中、横方向に直線状に並ぶ円形状の開口122-1乃至開口122-7が形成されている。
〈音響管の構成例〉
図6に示す例では、音響管151の外見は円筒形状の管となっているが、その内部に仕切りが設けられており、音響経路は直線状とはなっていない。なお、図6では、音響管151の断面が示されている。
〈音響管の構成例〉
図7に示す例では、図6の例と同様に音響管181の外見は円筒形状となっているが、その内部に仕切りが設けられている。なお、図7では音響管181の断面が示されている。
〈音響管の構成例〉
図8に示す例では、音響管211の外見は円筒状となっているが、その内部に仕切りが設けられている。
〈音響管の構成例〉
また、例えば図10に示すように、図8に示した音響管211に設けられる開口がスリット形状となるようにされてもよい。なお、図10において図8における場合と対応する部分には同一の符号を付してあり、その説明は適宜省略する。
〈音響管の構成例〉
また、大局的に見た音響管の形状が直線状である必要はなく、例えば図11に示すように、大局的に見た音響管251の形状が円形状、より詳細には円環状となっていてもよい。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、図3に示した例では、音響再生装置61には1つの音響管41が設けられている場合について説明したが、例えば図12に示すように音響再生装置に複数の音響管が設けられるようにしてもよい。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
さらに音響再生装置に複数の音響管が設けられる場合、それらの音響管の形状や長さ、太さ、開口の数、開口の形状等が異なるようにされてもよい。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、例えば図14に示すように、音響再生装置341に、複数の円環状の音響管342-1乃至音響管342-6が設けられるようにしてもよい。なお、図14では、スピーカや増幅器、DA変換部など、音響再生装置341の他の構成要素の図示は省略されている。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
さらに音響再生装置に複数の円環状の音響管が設けられる場合においても、それらの音響管の大きさや太さ、形状、開口の数、開口の形状、開口間の間隔等が異なるようにされてもよい。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、図3に示した音響再生装置61では、各開口42から音波が放射されるが、開口42から音波が放射されるたびに音響管41内を進む音波が減衰してしまう。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、図3に示した音響再生装置61では、式(27)を参照して説明したようにy方向の波数kyは次式(32)に示すようになる。そのため、y方向の音圧変化は、以下の式(33)に示すようになる。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、第3の実施の形態では、角周波数ωが大きくなるほどy方向の音圧P(y,ω)が急激に減衰してしまうことを抑制する方法として、音響特性補正、すなわち周波数特性の補正を行う例について説明した。しかし、その他、音響信号の帯域分割を行うことで、角周波数ωごとの音圧の減衰の差を低減させるようにしてもよい。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、図18に示した音響再生装置461では、デジタル領域で音響信号の帯域分割を行う場合について説明したが、音響信号の帯域分割をアナログ領域で行うようにしてもよい。そのような場合、音響再生装置は、例えば図19に示す構成とされる。なお、図19において図18における場合と対応する部分には同一の符号を付してあり、その説明は適宜省略する。
〈音響再生装置の構成例〉
また、以上においては音響信号に対して周波数特性の補正を行う例と、音響信号の帯域分割を行う例とについて説明したが、それらの周波数特性の補正と帯域分割とを組み合わせて行うようにしてもよい。このように周波数特性の補正と帯域分割とを組み合わせることは、角周波数ωごとのy方向への音圧の減衰の差を低減させることに有効である。
