Abstract

The invention relates to a loudspeaker combination comprised of at least two loudspeakers, of which one is preceded by a low-pass frequency filter, the other by a phase shifter in the form of an all-pass filter. The invention addresses the problem of providing with simple means a configuration simple of realization of such a loudspeaker combination, whose frequency response and whose radiation characteristic is significantly improved. The invention resides therein that the other loudspeaker or the other loudspeakers is/are each preceded by at least one phase shifter, with all phase shifters being tuned with respect to their phase setting to the phase position of the loudspeakers radiating lower tones, such that all loudspeakers radiate the low tones in like phase position. The fundamental idea is herein: several primarily identically structured loudspeakers can be employed, all or at least the major portion of the loudspeakers are allowed to transmit low tones, with the loudspeakers, which, in addition to the low frequencies, also have to transmit higher frequencies, being changed in their phase position such that the low and the particular lower frequencies are radiated in identical phase position. A large loudspeaker area therein transmits the low frequencies, a smaller the medium and high frequencies. This yields better transmission results than can be attained with loudspeakers laid out in their structural form for separated frequency ranges. Hereby the technical expenditures are low, the possibly attainable improvement of radiation characteristics, however, is remarkable.

Description

Lautsprecherkombination Speaker combination
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lautsprecherkombinat ion , bestehend aus mindestens zwei Lautsprechern, von denen dem einen ein Tiefpaß-Frequenzfilter und dem anderen ein Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet ist.The invention relates to a speaker combination consisting of at least two speakers, one of which is connected to a low-pass frequency filter and the other a phase shifter.
Eine derartige Lautsprecherkombination ist aus der DE 44 47 269 C1 Fig.2 bekannt geworden. Wie bei solchen Lautsprecherkombinationen üblich werden die in akustische Signale zu wandelnden elektrischen Signale zwei Lautsprechern zugeführt, wobei dem einen Lautsprecher ein Tiefpaßfilter, dem anderen Lautsprecher ein Hochpaßfilter vorgeschaltet ist, so daß mit dem einen Lautsprecher die tiefen, mit dem anderen Lautsprecher die hohen Frequenzen abgestrahlt werden. Da diese Form der Frequenzteilung und Frequenztrennung unbefriedigend ist, hat man zwischen dem Hochpaßfilter und dem. Hochtonlautsprecher einen Phasenschieber angeordnet, mit dem die Phasenlage des Hochtonsignales um 180° gedreht wird. Hiermit sollen Rechteckimpulse befriedigend wiedergegeben werden, zur Musik- und Sprachübertragung ist die Übertragungsqualität unbef iedigend.Such a speaker combination has become known from DE 44 47 269 C1 Fig.2. As is customary with such loudspeaker combinations, the electrical signals to be converted into acoustic signals are supplied to two loudspeakers, one loudspeaker being connected to a low-pass filter and the other loudspeaker being connected to a high-pass filter, so that one loudspeaker emits the low frequencies and the other loudspeaker the high frequencies become. Since this form of frequency division and frequency separation is unsatisfactory, you have between the high-pass filter and the. Tweeter arranged a phase shifter, with which the phase position of the tweeter signal is rotated by 180 °. Rectangular pulses are to be reproduced satisfactorily with this, the transmission quality is unsatisfactory for music and speech transmission.
Für Schallwandler zur Übertragung von Musik und Sprachsignalen bestehen im allgemeinen die Fordsrungen nach spezifiziertem Schalldruck über weite Frequenzbereiche, geringe Eigenschwingungen und Resonanzarmut, linearer Kennlinie, einem breiten Übertragungsbereich, geringen Erstellungskosten und für den Einsatz als Beschallungssystem in Veranstaltungsräumen, öffentlichen Gebäuden etc. besteht zusätzlich der Anspruch an eine gleichmäßige frequenzunabhängige Schallbündelung und möglichst einstellbare Abstrahlwinkel für verschiedene Einsatzzwecke bei möglichst geringen Abmessungen. Zwar lassen sich einige dieser Forderungen mit eutigen Wandlern und dem Einsatz zusätzlicher Elektronik mittlerweile erzielen, allerdings ist bisher kein Wandler bekannt, der alle obengenannten Forderungen in befriedigender Weise erfüllt.For transducers for the transmission of music and speech signals, there are generally demands for specified sound pressure over wide frequency ranges, Low natural vibrations and low resonance, linear characteristic, a wide transmission range, low production costs and for use as a sound system in event rooms, public buildings etc. there is also the demand for uniform frequency-independent sound bundling and adjustable beam angles for different purposes with the smallest possible dimensions. Although some of these requirements can now be achieved with ute converters and the use of additional electronics, no converter is known to date which satisfies all of the above requirements in a satisfactory manner.
Zur Lösung obengenannter Probleme wurden in der Vergangenheit verschiedene Ansätze realisiert: Für den Konsumerbereich kommen im allgemeinen Systeme zum Einsatz, bei denen das zu übertragende Frequenzband auf mehrere Bänder aufgeteilt und mehreren Membranen unterschiedlicher Größe zugeteilt ist. Große und schwere Membranen übertragen den Tieftonbereich, kleinere leichtetere Membranen die höheren Frequenzbereiche. Aus dieser Konstruktion ergibt sich das Problem unterschiedlicher Bündelungsfaktoren, Phasengänge und Gruppenlaufzeiten der einzelnen Systeme, damit sich ergebende Unstetigkeiten im Abstrahl- und Übertragungsverhalten des Gesamtsystems im Übergangsbereich. Darüber hinaus kommt es durch Interferrenzen zwischen den Systemen und außerhalb der Hauptstrahlungsachse zu Unstetigkeiten im Übertragungsmaß.Various approaches have been implemented in the past to solve the above-mentioned problems: systems are generally used for the consumer sector, in which the frequency band to be transmitted is divided into several bands and several membranes of different sizes. Large and heavy membranes transmit the low frequency range, smaller, lighter membranes the higher frequency ranges. This construction results in the problem of different bundling factors, phase changes and group delays of the individual systems, so that there are discontinuities in the radiation and transmission behavior of the overall system in the transition area. In addition, interferences between the systems and outside the main radiation axis lead to discontinuities in the degree of transmission.

Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß von den (mindestens) zwei Lautsprechern (mindestens) einer lediglich tiefe Töne, (mindestens) ein anderer tiefe und zumindest Töne mittlerer Frequenz abstrahlt, und daß der oder die Phasenschieber vor den sowohl tiefe als auch zumindest Töne mittlerer Frequenz abstrahlenden Lautsprechern derart eingestellt sind, daß alle Phasenschieber in ihrer Phaseneinstellung auf die Phasenlage des oder der lediglich tiefere Töne abstrahlenden Lautsprecher abgestimmt sind.

Durch die Anwendung und Vereinigung dieser technischen Merkmale ist man nicht mehr darauf angewiesen, spezielle sehr große und dadurch auch träge sowie teure Tieftonlautsprecher mit Membranen hohen Gewichts einzusetzen, um im Tieftonbereich eine gute Klangqualität zu erreichen, man kann vielmehr mehrere gleichgebaute, wegen ihrer leichteren Membranen schneller reagierende Lautsprecher einer preiswerten Ausführung einsetzen, um mit diesen allen die tiefen Töne abzustrahlen, während man die mittleren und hohen Tonbereiche nur mit einem Teil der Lautsprecher abstrahlen läßt. Dabei überträgt eine große gleichphasig abstrahlende Lautsp>-echerf lache die tiefen Töne, während eine kleinere Lautsprecherfläche die mittleren und hohen Frequenzbereiche abstrahlt. Das ergibt bessere Übert^agungsergebni sse als sie sich mit für gesonderte Frequenzbereiche in ihrer BaufO'TTi ausgelegte Lautsprecherkombinationen erzielen lasse .By using and combining these technical features, you no longer have to rely on the use of special, very large and therefore sluggish and expensive woofers with high-weight diaphragms in order to achieve good sound quality in the woofer range; you can rather use several of the same construction because of their lighter diaphragms Use faster-reacting loudspeakers of an inexpensive design in order to emit the low tones with all of them, while only allowing a part of the loudspeakers to emit the medium and high ranges. A large, in-phase radiating loudspeaker surface transmits the low tones, while a smaller loudspeaker surface emits the medium and high frequency ranges. This results in better transmission results than can be achieved with loudspeaker combinations designed for separate frequency ranges in their BaufO'TTi.
Um diese Lautsprecherkombination sehr preiswert herstellen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, daß mindestens einer der auch Töne des mittleren Frequenzbereiches abstrahlenden Lautsprecher dieser La Jtsprecherkombina- tion von gleicher Bauart und Bauform wie der Lautsprecher mit dem vorgeschalteten Tiefpaß ist. Die Verwendung von Lautsprechern der industriellen Massenproduktion ist so möglich und führt neben den genannten technischen Vorteilen auch zu wirtschaftlichen Vortei len. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, daß alle oder zumiπussi, •„- .. rere Lautsprecher dieser Lautsprecherkombination (ohne vorgeschaltete Filter und Pasenschieber ) eine gleiche ode." zumindest sehr ähnliche Frequenzcharakteristik haben.In order to be able to produce this loudspeaker combination very inexpensively, it is advantageous that at least one of the loudspeakers that also emit tones of the middle frequency range of this speaker combination is of the same design and construction as the loudspeaker with the upstream low-pass filter. The use of loudspeakers of industrial mass production is possible and, in addition to the technical advantages mentioned, also leads to economic advantages. It is advantageous that all or zumiπussi, • "- .. rere loudspeakers of this speaker combination (without upstream filter and pasher) have the same or." At least very similar frequency characteristics.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung ist dabei: Man kann mehrere vornehmlich gleichgebaute Lautsprecher verwenden, alle oder zumindest den überwiegenden Teil der Lautsprecher die tiefen Töne übertragen lassen, wobei die Lautsprecher, die neben den tiefen Frequenzen auch höhere Frequenzen zu übertragen haben, in ihrer Phasenlage so verändert werden, daß die tiefen Frequenzen von allen Lautsprechern, die tiefe Frequenzen abstrahlen, in gleicher Phasenlage abgestrahlt werden. Dabei überträgt eine große Lautsprecherfläche die tiefen Frequenzen, eine kleinere die mittleren und hohen Frequenzen. Das ergibt bessere Übertragungsergebnisse als sie sich mit für gesonderte Frequenzbereiche in ihrer Bauform ausgelegten Lautsprechern erzielen lassen.The basic idea of the invention is that it is possible to use a plurality of loudspeakers of the same construction, all or at least the majority of the loudspeakers having the low tones transmitted, the phase position of the loudspeakers, which in addition to the low frequencies also having to transmit higher frequencies, being changed be that the low frequencies are emitted in the same phase by all loudspeakers that emit low frequencies. A large loudspeaker surface transmits the low frequencies, a smaller one the medium and high frequencies. This results in better transmission results than can be achieved with loudspeakers designed for separate frequency ranges.
Die Basisform der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß zwei gleichgebaute Lautsprecher in der Kombination vorhanden sind und daß dem Lautsprecher ohne vorgeschalteten Tiefpaß ein Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet ist, der in seiner Phaseneinstellung auf die Phasenlage des Tiefton-Lautsprechers abgestimmt ist.The basic form of the present invention is that two identically constructed loudspeakers are present in the combination and that the loudspeaker without an upstream low-pass filter is preceded by a phase shifter whose phase setting is matched to the phase position of the low-frequency loudspeaker.
Hierdurch ist der technische Aufwand gering, die mögliche Verbesserung der Abstrahlungscharakteristiken jedoch frappant. Die Phaseneinstellung läßt sich in einfacher Weise durchführen. Dadurch erreicht man eine leichte Anpassung an den jeweils zu beschallenden Raum. Trotz des geringen Aufwandes wird die Sprachverständlichkeit u d die Musiktauglichkeit wesentlich verbessert. Man erreicht eine weitgehend frequenzunabhängige 3ündelung der Schal labstrahlung ohne ausgeprägte Nebenkeulen. Es wird ein sehr homogenes und interferrenzar- mes Abstrahl verhalten erreicht.As a result, the technical outlay is low, but the possible improvement in the radiation characteristics is striking. The phase adjustment can be carried out in a simple manner. This way you get one easy adaptation to the room to be sonicated. Despite the low effort, speech intelligibility and music suitability are significantly improved. A largely frequency-independent bundling of the scarf radiation without pronounced side lobes is achieved. A very homogeneous and low-interference radiation behavior is achieved.
Bei dieser Lautsprecherkombination können der (oder die) an das Tiefpaßfilter angeschlossenen Lautsprecher und der (oder die) an den Phasenschieber angeschlossenen Lautsprecher identisch oder sehr ähnlich in ihrer 3auart und Baugröße sein. Das erbringt nicht nur Preisvorteile beim Einkauf größerer Mengen von Lautsprechern derselben Bauart, sondern auch akustische Vorteile verschiedener Art. Tiefe Töne werden aus mehreren Lautsprechern phasengleich abgestrahlt, hohe Töne nur aus einem einzigen Lautsprecher oder einigen wenigen Lautsprechern gleicher Strahlungscharakteristik.With this speaker combination, the speaker (s) connected to the low-pass filter and the speaker (s) connected to the phase shifter can be identical or very similar in their type and size. This not only results in price advantages when purchasing large quantities of loudspeakers of the same type, but also acoustic advantages of different types. Low tones are emitted in phase from several loudspeakers, high tones only from a single loudspeaker or a few loudspeakers with the same radiation characteristics.
Diese Lautsprecherkombination wird sehr einfach, wenn der Phasenschieber ein Allpaßfilter mit einem Phasen- verschiebungsgl ied ist.This loudspeaker combination becomes very simple if the phase shifter is an all-pass filter with a phase shift element.
Bei dieser Lautsprecherkombination ist es durchaus möglich und für größere Anlagen empfehlenswert, daß mehrere Lautsprecher an das Tiefpaßfilter und/oder mehrere Lautsprecher an den Phasenschieber angeschlossen sind.With this speaker combination it is entirely possible and recommended for larger systems that several speakers are connected to the low-pass filter and / or several speakers to the phase shifter.

Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Allpaßfilter vollständig aus passiven Schaltelementen aufgebaut ist. Das Allpaßfilter kann aber auch aus aktiven und passiven Schaltelementen aufgebaut sein.It is useful if the all-pass filter is made up entirely of passive switching elements. The all-pass filter can also be constructed from active and passive switching elements.
Weiter ist es von Vorteil, wenn die beiden identischen oder sehr ähnlichen Lautsprecher, von denen dem einen ein Tiefpaßfilter, dem anderen ein Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet ist, gemeinsam mit einem Hochtonlautsprecher in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse untergebracht sind.It is also advantageous if the two identical or very similar loudspeakers, one of which has a low-pass filter and the other a phase shifter, are accommodated together with a tweeter in a common housing.
Die Lautsprecherkombination kann auch eine Lautsprecherzeile sein, bei der die Lautsprecher in einem langgestreckten Gehäuse untergebracht sind und eine Lautsprecherzeile bilden.The loudspeaker combination can also be a loudspeaker line in which the loudspeakers are accommodated in an elongated housing and form a loudspeaker line.
Bei einer Lautsprecherzeile ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Tieftonlautsprecher an den Enden bzw. an den Außenseiten der Lautsprecherzeile angeordnet ist.In the case of a speaker line, it is advantageous if the woofer is arranged at the ends or on the outside of the speaker line.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lautsprecherkombination besteht in ihrer in Fig.1 und 2 gezeigten Basisschaltung aus zwei gleichgebauten, in einem Gehäuse 1 eingebauten Lautsprechern 2,3, von denen dem einen Lautsprecher 3 ein Tiefpaß-Frequenzfilter 4 vorgeschaltet ist. Dem anderen Lautsprecher 2 ist ein Allpaßfilter 5 mit Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet, der in seiner Phaseneinstellung auf die Phasenlage des für die Abstrahlung tiefer Töne vorgesehenen Lautsprechers 3 abgestimmt ist. Obwohl beide Lautsprecher 2,3 von gleicher Bauart und Bauform sind und nicht speziell oder nur eingeschränkt für die Abstrahlung tiefer Frequenzen gebaut sind und für die Abstrahlung mittlerer Frequenzen gut in ihrer geometrischen Gestaltung geeignet sind, wird bei dieser Kombination unter der Vora issetzung einer geeigneten Phasenanpassung des Allpaßfilters 5 ein besseres Abstrah- lungsergebni s als bei der Nutzung unterschiedlicher, auf bestimmte Frequenzbereiche angepaßter Lautsprecher erzielt.The loudspeaker combination according to the invention in its basic circuit shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of two identically constructed loudspeakers 2, 3 built into a housing 1, of which one loudspeaker 3 is preceded by a low-pass frequency filter 4. The other loudspeaker 2 is preceded by an all-pass filter 5 with a phase shifter, the phase adjustment of which is matched to the phase position of the loudspeaker 3 intended for the emission of low tones. Although both loudspeakers 2, 3 are of the same type and design and are not specially or only partially built for the emission of low frequencies and their geometric design is well suited for the emission of medium frequencies, this combination assumes a suitable phase adjustment of the all-pass filter 5 a better radiation result than achieved using different loudspeakers adapted to certain frequency ranges.
In ihrer in Fig.2 gezeigten Ausführungsform sind zu den passiven Bauelementen die Verstärker 6,7 als aktive Bauelemente hinzugekommen.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the amplifiers 6, 7 have been added to the passive components as active components.
In Fig.3 ist die Lautsprecherkombination gegenüber der Basisschaltung (Fig.1) um einen weiteren Lautsprecher 8, ebenfalls von gleicher Bauart und Bauform wie die Lautsprecher 2 und 3, erweitert. In dieser Kombination, in der dem Lautsprecher 3 wie in der Basisschaltung der Fig.1 ein Tiefpaßfilter 4 und dem Lautsprecher 2 ein Allpaßfilter 5 mit Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet ist, ist zusätzlich dem Allpaßfilter 5 ein Tiefpaßfilter 9 vorgeschaltet, das jedoch gegenüber dem Tiefpaßfilter 4 eine höhere obere Durchlaßfrequenz aufweist. Dem zusätzlichen Lautsprecher 8 sind nun zwei zusätzliche Allpaßfilter 10 und 11 mit Phasenschieber vorgeschaltet. Das Allpaßfilter 10 wird in seiner Phasenlage auf das dem Lautsprecher 3 vorgeschaltete Tiefpaßfilter 4 und das Allpaßfilter 11 auf das dem Lautsprecher 2 vorgeschaltete Tiefpaßfilter 9 abgestimmt, während das Allpaßfilter 5 wie in der Basisschaltung auf das Tiefpaßfilter 4 in seiner Phasenlage abgestimmt ist. Bei dieser Kombination ist unter der Voraussetzung einer geeigneten Phasenanpassung der Allpaßfilter 5,10,11 ein besseres Abstrahlungsergebnis als bei der Nutzung unterschiedlicher, auf bestimmte Frequenzbereiche angepaßter Lautsprecher erzielt. In dieser Lautsprecherkombination kann z.B. das Tiefpaßfilter 4 auf eine obere Durchlaßfrequenz von 250 Hz und das Tiefpaßfilter 9 auf eine obere Durchlaßfrequenz von 500 Hz ausgelegt sein.In FIG. 3, the loudspeaker combination has been expanded to include another loudspeaker 8, also of the same type and design as loudspeakers 2 and 3, compared to the basic circuit (FIG. 1). In this combination, in which the loudspeaker 3, as in the basic circuit of FIG. 1, a low-pass filter 4 and the loudspeaker 2, an all-pass filter 5 with phase shifter is connected upstream, the all-pass filter 5 is additionally connected upstream of a low-pass filter 9, which, however, is higher than the low-pass filter 4 has upper pass frequency. The additional loudspeaker 8 is now preceded by two additional all-pass filters 10 and 11 with a phase shifter. The all-pass filter 10 is tuned in its phase position to the low-pass filter 4 upstream of the loudspeaker 3 and the all-pass filter 11 to the low-pass filter 9 upstream of the loudspeaker 2, while the all-pass filter 5 is tuned in its phase position to the low-pass filter 4 as in the basic circuit. With this combination and given a suitable phase adaptation, the all-pass filter 5, 10, 11 achieves a better radiation result than when using different loudspeakers adapted to certain frequency ranges. In this speaker combination, for example, the low-pass filter 4 can be designed for an upper pass frequency of 250 Hz and the low-pass filter 9 for an upper pass frequency of 500 Hz.
Die mit aktiven Bauelementen ausgestattete, in cig.4 gezeigte Ausführungsform einer Lautsprecherkombination mit drei gleichen Lautsprechern ist etwas anders aufgebaut als die in Fig.3 gezeigte Ausführungsform mit lediglich passiven Bauelementen:The equipped with active components, in c ig.4 shown embodiment of a loudspeaker system with three identical loudspeakers is constructed slightly different than the embodiment shown in Figure 3 with only passive components:

Über einen Abgriff zwischen dem Allpaßfilter 5 und dem Tiefpaßfilter 9 wird der mit dem Verstärker 6 ausgestattete Lautsprecher 8 versorgt, dem ein Allpaßfilter 11 vorgeschaltet ist. Dieses ist auf das Tiefpaßfilter 9 abgestimmt, während das Allpaßfilter 5 auf das Tiefpaßfilter 4 abgestimmt ist.The three loudspeakers 2, 3, 8 are each preceded by an amplifier 6, 7, 12 as the active element. As in the basic circuit, only a low-pass filter 4 is connected in front of the loudspeaker 3 with amplifier 7, the loudspeaker 2 is connected to a low-pass filter 9 and an all-pass filter 5 with a phase shifter which is matched in its phase position to the low-pass filter 4. The loudspeaker 8 equipped with the amplifier 6 is supplied with a tap between the all-pass filter 5 and the low-pass filter 9, which is preceded by an all-pass filter 11. This is matched to the low-pass filter 9, while the all-pass filter 5 is matched to the low-pass filter 4.
In der Ausführungsform der Fig. 5 ist zusätzlich zu den gleichgebauten Lautsprechern 2 und 3 noch ein Hochtonlautsprecher 14 im Gehäuse 1 eingebaut. Diesem ist ein Hochpaßfilter 13 vorgeschaltet, das z.B. Frequenzen höher als 2 KHz durchläßt. Dem Lautsprecher 3 ist ein Tiefpaßfilter 4 mit einer oberen Durchlaßfrequenz von z.B. 500 Hz vorgeschaltet, und diesem ist ein weiteresIn the embodiment of FIG. 5, in addition to the identical speakers 2 and 3, a tweeter 14 is also installed in the housing 1. This is preceded by a high-pass filter 13, which e.g. Passes frequencies higher than 2 KHz. The loudspeaker 3 has a low-pass filter 4 with an upper pass frequency of e.g. 500 Hz upstream, and this is another
