An apparatus for re-distributing acoustic energy. The apparatus comprises a first concave surface defined as a surface of revolution of a line or curve. This curve of revolution is rotated beyond 230 degrees and thus defines a rather small opening, which has advantages in the frequency response output. Additionally or alternatively, edges of the concave surface may be rounded to provide advantageous effects in the sound output.

It is an object of the present invention is to smoothen air flow at the time of vibrations of the diaphragm, and to suppress variations in acoustic characteristics. Since the inclined surface 37c of the washer 37, which forms the air flow channel 50, is an inclined surface having a diameter gradually reduced with distance from the diaphragm 35 in the axial direction of the movable iron core 36, compared with the conventional step-shaped air flow channel having vertical surfaces, air flow in the air flow channel 50 can be smoothened. Therefore, disturbance in air flow is not easily generated in the air flow channel 50, and variations in acoustic characteristics of the horn apparatus 10 can be suppressed.

A device and method for adjusting an output to an audio port based on a determined sensitivity is provided. The device comprises a processor, an audio port, and an electrical measurement device configured to measure electrical properties of an external device plugged into the audio port over a range of frequencies. Using the electrical measurement device, one or more electrical properties of the external device plugged into the audio port are measured at a plurality of frequencies. A sensitivity of the external device is determined using the using the one or more electrical properties of the external device measured using the electrical measurement device. An output to the audio port is adjusted based on the sensitivity.

The present application relates to the technical field of loudspeakers. Disclosed are a loudspeaker device, a method, apparatus and device for adjusting the sound effect thereof, and a medium. The method is used for increasing the diversity of the sound effect of the loudspeaker device, and comprises: determining the spatial distribution state of multiple loudspeaker units in the loudspeaker device; determining a sound effect mode corresponding to the spatial distribution state; and adjusting the sound effect of the loudspeaker device according to the sound effect mode. According to the present application, the sound effect mode is accordingly adjusted according to the spatial distribution state of multiple loudspeaker units in the loudspeaker device. In this way, when the spatial distribution state changes, the sound effect mode of the loudspeaker device also changes, thereby overcoming the defect of the single sound effect of the loudspeaker device, i.e., according to the present application, the diversity of the sound effect of the loudspeaker device can be increased efficiently.
