Speaker structure with a loading hole
10194235 · 2019-01-29 · ·

This invention discloses a kind of speaker structure with a loading hole. A characteristic is that it includes an active cavity that has a cone hole and a loading hole; a loudspeaker is sealed and secured on the said cone hole; the said active cavity is connected to the outside air through the said loading hole; the cone of the said loudspeaker has one side which is connected to the free space; another characteristic of this invention is that it includes a driven cavity that is connected to the said active cavity through the said loading hole; the cross-sectional area of the said loading hole is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the air passage on its either side; further, it is not larger than the effective area of all the vibration units in the said active cavity; also, the volume of the said active cavity does not exceed half the total volume of the said active cavity and driven cavity. The loading hole constitutes a loading component which improves the transient response of the speaker body. To a great extent, it solves the contradiction between frequency response and transient effect at low sound frequencies. It lowers the requirements for the loudspeaker and simultaneously allows the frequency response and transient effect for the entire system at low sound frequencies to be handled relatively independently. This causes the loudspeaker cost to be reduced.

An earphone/headphone device, and a housing for such device are presented. The housing has proximal and distal ends defining respectively, a proximal closed-end portion and a distal open-end portion of the device, and comprises a sound source site for mounting a sound source in this site inside the housing, and an acoustic cavity extending from a back side of the sound source site and the proximal end portion of the housing. The acoustic cavity is configured to define a perpetual self-feeding closed-loop structure for propagation of backwave sound originated at the sound source site, such that the backwave sound is trapped and circulates in the closed-loop structure.

Speaker module
10158937 · 2018-12-18 · ·

A speaker module comprising a module housing is disclosed. A speaker unit is accommodated within the module housing. A sound hole of the module is located at a side of the speaker unit. The speaker unit divides a cavity of the entire module into two cavities, namely a front acoustic cavity and a rear acoustic cavity. The front acoustic cavity is in communication with the sound hole. A sound-absorbing cotton is provided in the front acoustic cavity. The sound-absorbing cotton is fixed on the module housing, and is arranged to avoid a vibration space of a diaphragm of the speaker unit. The present invention effectively improves the performance of a sensitivity curve of the module at high frequencies without modifying the structure of the front acoustic cavity, thus not only increasing the acoustic performance of the module, but also simplifying the structure of the front acoustic cavity of the module.

The system or device may further comprise a low frequency arrangement comprising an arrangement of one or more loudspeakers (11, 12, 13, 14, 37) mounted in an enclosure (1) and configured such that the loudspeakers radiates sound energy to the surroundings (R). The low frequency arrangement may be configured as a bass-reflex enclosure with a wide port region. By means of the system or device according to the invention, the resulting directional characteristic of the system or device can be adapted to numerous specific use situations, for instance to obtain a stereo-stabilizing effect on a perceived sound image.

PROCESS FOR ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION IN A MOBILE DEVICE APPLICATION

A process is provided. The process receives, at a mobile computing device, audio content via a communication application that provides a voice-based communication between a first user and a second user through a computerized network. Further, the process amplifies, via an acoustic amplification device, the audio content. In addition, the process delivers the audio content through a receptacle that receives the mobile computing device. The receptacle is integrated with the acoustic amplification device.

System for reducing response anomalies in an acoustic pathway

An acoustic system that includes an acoustic assembly and a sound system. The acoustic assembly at least includes a tube removably attached to a compression driver. Additionally, the acoustic assembly includes either a waveguide or a deflector. Either the waveguide or the deflector is also removably attached to the tube. The sound system communicates with the acoustic assembly and includes a filter. The filter includes a filter length that is based on an impulse response of the acoustic assembly. As part of the communication, the sound system sends an audio signal, which has been filtered by the filter, to the acoustic assembly. In response to the audio signal, the compression driver generates a sound wave that travels through the acoustic assembly. While traveling, the acoustic assembly transitions the sound wave from generally traveling in a first direction to a second direction.

An enclosure for a speaker transducer can have a front housing member and a rear housing member. Some enclosures position the speaker transducer between the front housing member and the rear housing member, and spaced apart from the rear housing member to define a rear chamber positioned between the speaker transducer and the rear housing member. The rear housing member can define a longitudinal axis. A first waveguide member and a second waveguide member can be longitudinally spaced apart from each other to define an acoustic waveguide therebetween oriented transversely relative to the longitudinal axis. A port can acoustically couple the acoustic waveguide with the rear chamber. A cross-sectional area of the waveguide can expand radially outward of the port. And, the acoustic waveguide can extend circumferentially around the longitudinal axis more than 90-degrees. Some embodiments include a speaker transducer and are suitable as a headphone.
