Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for sound reproduction, comprising a support with at least one loudspeaker.
- Such an apparatus is well known in the shape of acoustic boxes, in which in one of the side walls a loudspeaker is arranged.
- Such an apparatus has the drawbnack of the directed effect of the sound generated by the apparatus.
- This directed effect influences unfavourably the quality of the produced sound and more in particular the reproduced music.
- the invention aims to obviate this drawback of the known apparatus.
- the apparatus according to the invention thereto is characterized, in that the central line of the loudspeaker extends vertically.
- the loudspeaker-opening is directed upwards.
- a sounding-board is arranged at a distance from the loudspeaker.
- This sounding-board preferably extends parallel with the plane through the periphery of the loudspeaker-opening.
- a second loudspeaker is arranged coaxially with the loudspeaker in the sounding-board.
- both the loudspeakers may be directed towards one another in a favourable way.
- the distance between the sounding-board and the loudspeaker may be adjusted.
- the sound generated by the apparatus may be affected and thus may be adapted to the acoustics of the room in which the apparatus is placed.
- the support has the shape of an acoustic box which at its upper side is provided with a loudspeaker.
- the sounding-board may then be arranged in a fairly simple way by means of small columns, and with possibly a second loudspeaker arranged within it and which then extends coaxially with the first loudspeaker.
- the acoustic box 1 is provided at its upper side with a loudspeaker 2 of which the central axis of the cone 3 extends vertically.
- a sound board 4 is supported by vertical columns 5 and this sound board is provided with a second loudspeaker 6 which is placed coaxially with the first loudspeaker 2.
- both the loudspeaker-openings are directed towards one another.

Abstract
Apparatus for sound reproduction comprising an acoustic box which at its upper side is provided with a loudspeaker, the loudspeaker-opening of which is directed upwards, while coaxially above this loudspeaker a second loudspeaker is arranged, the loudspeaker-opening of which is directed downwards.
Description
- The invention relates to an apparatus for sound reproduction, comprising a support with at least one loudspeaker.
- Such an apparatus is well known in the shape of acoustic boxes, in which in one of the side walls a loudspeaker is arranged.
- Such an apparatus has the drawbnack of the directed effect of the sound generated by the apparatus.
- This directed effect influences unfavourably the quality of the produced sound and more in particular the reproduced music.
- The invention aims to obviate this drawback of the known apparatus.
- The apparatus according to the invention thereto is characterized, in that the central line of the loudspeaker extends vertically.
- By this measure the drawback of the directed effect of the known apparatus is obviated completely, because by the apparatus according to the invention the sound is sent out in all directions.
- In a favourable embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention the loudspeaker-opening is directed upwards.
- In a further working out of the apparatus according to the invention a sounding-board is arranged at a distance from the loudspeaker.
- This sounding-board preferably extends parallel with the plane through the periphery of the loudspeaker-opening.
- In a further working out of the apparatus according to the invention a second loudspeaker is arranged coaxially with the loudspeaker in the sounding-board.
- Thereby both the loudspeakers may be directed towards one another in a favourable way.
- It has appeared that with the apparatus according to the invention a better sound quality may be obtained, especially concerning a reproduction of music, than such being the case with the known apparatuses.
- In order to be able to adjust the apparatus according to the invention to the acoustics of the room in which the apparatus is arranged and in which the sound has to be generated, the distance between the sounding-board and the loudspeaker may be adjusted.
- By adjusting this distance the sound generated by the apparatus may be affected and thus may be adapted to the acoustics of the room in which the apparatus is placed.
- In a favourable embodiment of the aparatus according to the invention the support has the shape of an acoustic box which at its upper side is provided with a loudspeaker.
- Above this loudspeaker the sounding-board may then be arranged in a fairly simple way by means of small columns, and with possibly a second loudspeaker arranged within it and which then extends coaxially with the first loudspeaker.
- The invention will now be explained further with reference to the accompanying drawing by way of example.
- As shown in the drawing the
acoustic box 1 is provided at its upper side with aloudspeaker 2 of which the central axis of thecone 3 extends vertically.
At distance from the loudspeaker 2 asound board 4 is supported byvertical columns 5 and this sound board is provided with a second loudspeaker 6 which is placed coaxially with thefirst loudspeaker 2. - As shown in the drawing both the loudspeaker-openings are directed towards one another.
Claims (7)
- Apparatus for sound reproduction, formed by a support with at least one loudspeaker, characterized in that the central line of the loudspeaker extends vertically.
- Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the loudspeaker-opening is directed upwards.
- Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that a sounding-board is provided at a distance from the loudspeaker.
- Apparatus according to claim 3, characterized in that in the sounding- board a second loudspeaker is arranged coaxially with the loudspeaker.
- Apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that both the loudspeakers are directed towards one another.
- Apparatus according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the distance between the sounding-board and the loudspeaker is adjustable
- Apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the support has the shape of an acoustic box which at its upper side is provided with a loudspeaker.
