SOUND PRODUCTION USING SPEAKER ENCLOSURE WITH REDUCED INTERNAL PRESSURE
20230171536 · 2023-06-01 ·

Techniques are provided for generating sound using a speaker mounted to an enclosure (e.g., speaker cabinet) wherein a gas pressure level (e.g., air pressure level) inside the enclosure is lower than an ambient air pressure level outside the enclosure. The reduced gas pressure level within the enclosure provides an environment with a reduced pressure level at a back side of a speaker cone of the speaker, which enhances a low frequency response for a given speaker size, while also minimizing resonant frequencies and phase cancellation issues which could otherwise occur with conventional speaker systems in which acoustic sound waves are generated at the back side of the speaker cone. A pressure compensation system is utilized counteract a force applied to the front side of the speaker cone as a result of the gas pressure level inside the enclosure being lower than the ambient air pressure level outside the enclosure.

Speaker box
11265629 · 2022-03-01 · ·

Provided is a speaker box, which includes a first damping member fixed to the housing and covering the sound outlet, and a second damping member fixed in the receiving space and fixed to the housing. The second damping member, the base and/or the cover define an extension cavity in communication with the front acoustic cavity. When the speaker produces sound, the extension cavity stabilizes frequency response variation caused by variation in the dynamic height of the air space. When the diaphragm of the speaker is at the lowest and highest positions of the air space, the variation in the final acoustic frequency response of the speaker box is always small, and the final acoustic frequency response of the speaker is also small. Thus, the intermodulation distortion of speakers in mobile devices or other thin devices can be reduced, and a sound quality of the speaker box can be improved.

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.
