Definitions

  • This invention relates to a loudspeaker system which is small but can reproduce a powerful sound of deep-low tone.
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross section of this conventional cascade bass-reflex loudspeaker system.
  • 1 is a cabinet of a loudspeaker system
  • 2 is a speaker unit
  • 3 is a partition which divides the internal space of the aforesaid cabinet 1 into two spaces
  • 4 is the first space divided by the aforesaid partition 3
  • 5 is a second space
  • 6 is a first port installed on the aforesaid partition 3
  • 7 is a second port installed on the back of the aforesaid cabinet 1.
  • Fig. 7 is an equivalent circuit of the loud speaker system shown in Fig. 6.
  • Z represents an impedance comprising a mass attributable to the speaker unit 2, a compliance, and a resistance
  • C1 does a compliance at the first space 4
  • P1 does a mass at the first port 6
  • C2 does a compliance at the second space 5
  • P2 does a mass at the second port 7.
  • the first space 4 and port 6 and the second space 5 and port 7, namely, two compliances and two masses additionally provide a system of two degrees of freedom possessing two antiresonant frequencies f1 and f2.
  • Fig. 8 shows that this gives a favorable sound pressure level-frequency characteristic in the frequency ranges around f1 and from f1 to f2 by equalizing the phases of the sound radiated from the diaphragm of the speaker unit and the sound radiated from the second port 7 as in the case with a simple bass-reflex-type loudspeaker system.
  • a problem is, however, that, around the second antiresonant frequency f2, the phase of the sound radiated from the second port 7 is inverted again with increasing level of sound to cause a large dip in the frequency response around f2 due to the interference with the sound radiated from the aforesaid diaphragm.
  • This type of system can, therefore, be used as a super woofer system dedicated for the reproduction of deep-low tone, but is hardly applicable as a loudspeaker system to reproduce the entire frequency range.
  • An object of this invention is to realize a small and deep-low tone-reproducible loudspeaker system for the reproduction of the entire frequency range by eliminating the above-mentioned dip in the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic.
  • a loudspeaker system of this invention is a cascade bass-reflex loudspeaker system which is additionally provided with a second partition on which at least one hole or port is further installed to construct a third space.
  • the sizes of the aforesaid third space and hole or port are adjusted so that the resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator composed of the aforesaid third space and a hole or port installed on the aforesaid second partition may coincide with the above-mentioned frequency f2.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the first embodiment of this invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows an equivalent circuit of the system.
  • Fig. 3 shows a specific example of the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the second embodiment of this invention.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the third embodiment of this invention.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cross section of a conventional loudspeaker system.
  • Fig. 7 shows an equivalent circuit of the system.
  • Fig. 8 shows a specific example of the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the first embodiment of this invention
  • Fig. 2 does an equivalent circuit of the system
  • Fig. 3 does a specific example of the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic.
  • a cabinet 1 a speaker unit 2, a partition 3, a first space 4, a second space 5, a first port 6, and a second port 7 are the same as each of those in Fig. 6.
  • 8 is a second partition provided within the second space 5
  • 9 is a third space constructed by the second partition 8
  • 10 is a hole installed on the second partition to compose a Helmholtz resonator with the third space.
  • Z represents an impedance comprising a mass attributable to the speaker unit 2, a compliance, and a resistance
  • C1 does a compliance at the first space 4
  • P1 does a mass at the first port 6
  • C2 does a compliance at the second space 5
  • P2 does a mass at the second port 7
  • C3 does a compliance at the third space 9
  • P3 does a mass at the hole 10.
  • a simple cascade bass-reflex loudspeaker system is additionally provided with a system of two degrees of freedom possessing two antiresonant frequencies f1 and f2 by the first space 4 and port 6 and the second space 5 and port 7 in Fig. 1, namely, two compliances C1 & C2 and two masses P1 and P2 in Fig. 2.
  • the phase of the sound radiated from the second port 7 is inverted again with increasing level of sound to cause a large dip in the frequency response around f2 due to the interference with the sound radiated from the aforesaid diaphragm.
  • the volume of the aforesaid third space 9 and/or the size of the hole 10 is adjusted so that the resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator composed of the third space 9 and the hole 10 may be almost the same as the aforesaid second antiresonant frequency f2, the second antiresonance is absorbed by the resonance of a Helmholtz resonator composed of P3 and C3 in Fig. 2. This reduces the vibration of air within the second port, thereby substantially improving the dip in the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic around f2 as shown in Fig. 3.
  • a dip in the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic around the second antiresonant frequency can be substantially improved for better reproduction quality by providing a cascade bass-reflex-type loudspeaker system with a third space and a third hole and, then, adjusting the volume of the aforesaid third space and the size of the third hole so that the resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator composed of the above space and hole provided may be almost the same as the second antiresonant frequency f2.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the second embodiment of this invention.
  • Fig. 4 is different from Fig. 1 in that a third port 11 in place of the hole 10 is installed on the second partition 8. Even such a structure allows a Helmholtz resonator composed of the third space 9 and the third port 11 to function in a similar manner to that in the first embodiment, thereby improving the dip in the sound pressure level-frequency characteristic around the second antiresonant frequency f2. Moreover, the resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator can be easily established around f2 simply by adjusting the length of the third port 11.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section of a loudspeaker system in the third embodiment of this invention.
  • Fig. 5 is different from Fig. 4 in that a port wall 12 composing a second port 7 is so structured that the cross-sectional area of the aforesaid port may increase gradually toward outside the cabinet 1.
  • a port wall 12 composing a second port 7 is so structured that the cross-sectional area of the aforesaid port may increase gradually toward outside the cabinet 1.
  • More than one holes or ports may be installed on the second partition in the above first, second, and third embodiments. More than one third spaces may also be constructed by providing more than one second partitions. Furthermore, the second partition may be provided in other manners than that to divide the space within the cabinet sideways such as by dividing it vertically.
