Abstract

This device provides a coupling between a visual stimulus and a sound sensation. By audiovisual coupling of signals from home entertainment electronic devices and transmission of these signals in the form of optical energy modulation which harmonically and synchronously supports the acoustic energy modulation, this device offers a new way of experiencing musical enjoyment. The accompanying diagram characterises one of the conditions for coupling of light sources (2) and loudspeaker (8) by an approximately identical position of radiation. <IMAGE>

Description

Der Erfindung betrifft eine audiovisuelle Abstrahlvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem Musik/Signal-Verstärker und einer Lautsprecherbox mit frontseitig in einem Gehäuse angeordneten, über elektrische Sig­nalleitungen mit dem Musik/Signal-Verstärker verbundenem Lautsprecher.The invention relates to an audiovisual emitting device consisting of a music / signal amplifier and a loudspeaker box with a loudspeaker arranged at the front in a housing and connected to the music / signal amplifier via electrical signal lines.

Bisher galt High-Fidelity als Freizeitvergnügen, bei dem aber das dem menschlichen Organismus als Rezeptor tätige Auge oftmals nach einiger Zeit unbeschäftigt mehr oder weniger Langeweile verursacht.Until now, high-fidelity has been a leisure activity, but the eye, which acts as a receptor for the human organism, often causes more or less boredom after some time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den vorstehend genannten Nachteil bei einer Freizeitbeschäftigung, die Vergnügen bzw. Entspan­nung bieten soll, zu beseitigen und die Zufriedenheit sowie den Genuß des Zuhörers bzw. Betrachters um eine Dimension zu erweitern.The invention has for its object to eliminate the disadvantage mentioned above in a leisure activity, which is intended to offer pleasure or relaxation, and to expand the satisfaction and enjoyment of the listener or viewer by one dimension.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die die lautsprecheraufweisende Boxenfront zusätzlich mit Lichtquellen versehen ist, die über weitere elektrische Signalleitungen ebenfalls an den Musik/Signal-Verstärker angeschlossen sind.The solution to this problem according to the invention is that the speaker front box is additionally provided with light sources which are also connected to the music / signal amplifier via further electrical signal lines.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung basiert auf einer audiovisuellen Kop­plung von Signalen der Unterhaltungselektronik durch elektrische Puls­technik. Der Betrachter/Zuhörer erfährt eine von einer identischen Ab­strahlposition erfolgende Energiemodulation optischer sowie akustischer Art, indem der Musik/Signal-Verstärker gleichzeitig - bei möglicher Lichtorgeleinspeisung oder eines Bildprojektionselementes - elektrische Pulse sowohl den Lautsprechern ( akustische Energiemodulation ) als auch den Lichtquellen ( visuelle Energiemodulation ) zur Verfügung stellt.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung steigert die durch Energiemodulation aufnehmbaren Reize und Empfindungen durch die Kopplung von Lichtreiz und Schallempfinden, insbesondere wenn die Lichtquellen zwischen Laut­sprecherfront und Lautsprecherschutzabdeckung angeordnet sind und die abgedeckte Lautsprecherfront erhellen, wodurch das sich auf der Laut­sprecherfront oder im Bespanntuch befindliche Bild sichtbar wird. Andererseits ist auch eine Bildprojektion möglich, wobei die Licht­quellen okularähnlich ausgelegt sind und durch ein Bildprojektions­ element entsprechend angesteuert werden. Jedenfalls wird durch den zu­sätzlich gebotenen Lichtreiz eine Empfindung größerer Harmonisierung im direkten Zusammenhang mit dem Musikgenuß geschaffen.The device according to the invention is based on an audio-visual coupling of signals from entertainment electronics by means of electrical pulse technology. The viewer / listener experiences an optical and acoustic type of energy modulation that takes place from an identical radiation position in that the music / signal amplifier simultaneously - with possible light organ feed-in or an image projection element - electrical pulses both to the speakers (acoustic energy modulation) and to the light sources (visual energy modulation) provides.
The device according to the invention increases the stimuli and sensations which can be absorbed by energy modulation by coupling light stimulus and sound sensation, in particular if the light sources are arranged between the loudspeaker front and the loudspeaker protective cover and illuminate the covered loudspeaker front, as a result of which the image located on the loudspeaker front or in the fabric is visible. On the other hand, an image projection is also possible, the light sources being designed like an eyepiece and by means of an image projection element can be controlled accordingly. In any case, the additional light stimulation creates a feeling of greater harmonization in direct connection with the enjoyment of music.
