20160142825 | Suspension Element for Suspending the Diaphragm of a Loudspeaker Driver to the Chassis Thereof as Well as Driver and Loudspeaker Comprising the Same - The present invention provides a loudspeaker driver not suffering from high levels of distortion caused by the non-linear stiffness commonly found with drivers that utilize progressive suspension elements. The novel suspension element for suspending the diaphragm of a loudspeaker driver to the chassis thereof has a geometry with two opposing first sections and two opposing second sections, which connect the two first sections. The second sections have a curvature radius smaller than that of the first sections. The mean height of the radial cross-sectional profile of the second section is higher than the height of the cross-sectional profile of the first sections. The first sections have an axial stiffness greater than the second sections. | 05-19-2016 |
20150139466 | LOUDSPEAKER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides an improved loudspeaker enclosure comprising two opposing end sections arranged at a distance from each other and enclosing sections which connect the end sections over said distance, wherein the inner volume of the enclosure is defined by said sections. The enclosure also has a reflex port which comprises a reflex opening which is provided to the enclosure and adapted to exhaust internal pressure from the inner volume to outside the enclosure. The reflex port further comprises an inner reflex port former which connects the inner volume of the enclosure to the reflex opening for forming the reflex port. The reflex port former is formed by molding as an integral inner wall section which extends inwards from the inner surface of either or both end section. On the other hand the reflex port former extends adjacent to an enclosing section which at least partially surrounds the reflex port former such that the reflex port is formed to a space between the reflex port former and the adjacent enclosing section. | 05-21-2015 |
20130336498 | Data transfer method and system for loudspeakers in a digital sound reproduction system - The present publication describes a data transfer method and system in a digital sound reproduction system. The method comprises method steps for generating a digital audio stream for multiple channels in a host data source, e.g. a computer, the audio stream is formed by multiple consecutive samples, receiving the digital audio stream sent by the host data source through a digital data transmission network by several digital receivers each of which including a microcontroller with a clock, the receivers further including means for generating an audio signal. In accordance with the invention the host data source sends repeatedly a synchronization sample to at least one receiver, the receiver replies to the synchronization sample by a return sample, the host calculates a latency (T) for each receiver based on the sending time (Th | 12-19-2013 |
20120308063 | DRIVE UNIT MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT AND LOUDSPEAKER - The present invention provides a novel drive unit mounting arrangement, in which a drive unit having a chassis is mounted to a cabinet from at least two sides. The arrangement comprises a member for securing the drive unit to the cabinet from mounting points of the chassis. The arrangement further comprises a suspension member between the mounting points of the chassis and the cabinet such as to suspend the drive unit chassis elastically to the cabinet for allowing suspension in both forward and rearward directions. | 12-06-2012 |

20100303250 | Calibration Method and Device in an Audio System - The present publication describes a calibration method and apparatus, in which an electrical calibration signal is formed, an audio signal is formed in the loudspeaker from the calibration signal, the response of the audio signal is measured and analysed, and the system is adjusted on the basis of the measurement results. The calibration signal is formed in the loudspeaker in such a way that it is essentially a sinusoidal signal, the frequency of which scans at least substantially through the entire audio frequency range. | 12-02-2010 |
20100202624 | Equipment, method and use of the equipment in an audio system - A method and means for a sound-reproduction system. The means include a first opening arrangement for a microphone, and a second opening arrangement for a microphone stand, formed in an essentially planar elastic material. | 08-12-2010 |
20090304194 | Identification Method and Apparatus in an Audio System - An identification method and apparatus in a sound-reproduction system, in which an electrical calibration signal is created, an audio signal is created in the loudspeaker from the calibration signal, the response of the audio signal is measured and analysed, and the system is adjusted on the basis of the measurement results. A light signal is created in the loudspeaker with the aid of a centralized control system, in order to indicate visually the loudspeaker that is the subject of the calibration. | 12-10-2009 |
