- the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a headphone or earphone according to the invention simulates not only the sound pressure signal but also the sound field impedance produced by a remote sound source on the ear in order to improve or completely avoid negative phenomena such as the IKL or SLD.
- the headset ideally does not receive a sound pressure signal which contains head-related sound pressure frequency responses, since these automatically adjust themselves when the sound field impedance in the headphones is correctly set.
- the so-called outer ear transfer function (HRTF) only describes the relationship between the two ears. The following is the procedure describes how sound field impedance considered relevant for hearing is defined and how it can be measured.
- the proposed measuring method extends the known method for determining the head-related sound pressure transmission function (outer ear transmission function, HRTF) by a second transmission function which contains information about the sound field impedance.
- a measuring test stand can be constructed which is suitable both for loudspeakers as well as headphone sound is suitable to determine a sound pressure-dependent signal Sp and a sound pressure and the sound field impedance dependent signal SZ ( Figure 1).
- the signals Sp and SZ arise at the outputs of the microphones for the left and right ear. These signals are dependent on the frequency and the sound incidence angle. If the artificial head is now irradiated with the same signals via a headset (with possible signal conditioning), the signals S'P and S'Z are measured.
- test stand for the headphone does not have to be a dummy head.
- a comparable measuring method which is limited only to the sound pressure, has been used in binaural technology for some time to produce spatially perceptible sound fields in headphones. From the measured signal Sp, a sound pressure transfer function Hp can be determined which no longer contains the loudspeaker frequency response by relating the head-related signals to the pressure signals of a free-field measurement without a head:
- Hp describes the sound pressure change due to the presence of a human head (body) and the relationship between the ears.
- this function also referred to as the outer ear transmission function (HRTF) in the current binaural technique, needs to be corrected for the sound pressure produced by this field impedance itself in a new headphone with replica of the sound field impedance.
- HRTF outer ear transmission function
- the signal SZ is new and provides more information about the sound field in front of the ear compared to the pure sound pressure signal Sp. It describes the acoustic resistance at the ear entrance of a human head, which a force source Q located in the ear canal senses when it hits an external sound field Force FQ exercises.
- the force FQ is derived by means of a suitable mechanism (a microphone not described in detail) from the pressure in the ear canal and acts in phase with the pressure on the sound field. For this reason, the signal SZ is also dependent on the sound pressure.
- the power source Q is itself exposed to the force FF of the external sound field.
- an impedance transfer function Hz can be determined from the signal vQ by referring vQ to the signal of a free field measurement without a head:
- Hz thus represents an extension of the previous head-related properties and can be used to characterize the characteristics of headphones with respect to the acoustic field impedance in front of the ear.
- an impedance microphone The application of the described method for measuring the signal SZ combined with a pressure sensor is referred to herein as an impedance microphone. It is capable of delivering both a sound pressure signal and a sound field impedance dependent signal.
- sound field impedance measurements are carried out on the outer ear of a test person with the aid of the 2-microphone method in order to characterize the differences in the sounding with headphones and loudspeakers.
- connections to the subjective auditory sensations IKL and SLD are examined. It has been found that a measurement of the X-component of the sound field impedance maps the differences quite well and gives an idea about the size and the frequency and angle dependent on the sound field impedance.
- a headphone or earphone which is characterized by improvement of the localization in the median plane, in particular concerning the Vorneortung
- the sound field conditions are modeled in front of the ear of a human head when exposed by a remote sound source.
- a head-related impedance signal and a frequency-independent sound pressure signal are transmitted to the headphones.
- a vibration transducer impresses a proportional fast signal into the headphone chamber and generates the corresponding head-related sound pressure at the given sound field impedance.
- simplified systems may be useful in which the most important properties of the real sound field impedance at the ear are transmitted to a headphone.
- An embodiment according to the invention with modeling approaching reality is characterized by one or more of the following properties: a) the sound field impedance in front of the ear should receive a predominantly positive reactance in the frequency range of about 100 Hz to 2.5 kHz and / or b) when sound from a remote sound source from the front direction arise at the ear two typical sound pressure minima. As a rule, they are in narrow frequency ranges around approx. 1 kHz and approx. 2.5 kHz, depending on the head and body geometry. These are caused by minima in the sound field impedance as a result of interference. According to the invention, these sound pressure minima are not transmitted to the headphones as a sound pressure signal; rather, the headphones must adopt the corresponding sound field impedance, so that as a result of this sound pressure minima arise and / or
- the minima are shifted in the sound field impedance with increasing sound incidence angle to low frequencies, and indeed according to the model as done on the head by sonication with a remote sound source.
- the minima in the sound field impedance are strongly attenuated or disappear completely and / or
- a calibration option on the headphones in order to be able to optimally compensate for individual differences of listeners is realized. This can include both the magnitude of the sound field impedance and the location of the characteristic minima.
- inventive devices, methods and methods are presented, which are able to influence the sound field impedance of a headphone.
- a modeling of the sound field impedance is realized with the aid of sound transducer pairs.
- a specific sound field impedance is achieved, specifically through the use of two sound transducers in a headphone capsule.
- the desired sound field impedance in the arranged direction can be influenced.
- a suitable impedance measurement method (2-microphone method)
- first the sound pressures p1, p2 and the sound beats vi, v2 of the individual sound transducers are determined or by previously determined sound pressure and sound velocity based on geometry-related values.
- Figure 8 shows a simple principle with signal conditioning, which calculates the signal K2 for the second loudspeaker as a function of the value of the sound field impedance present at the input.
- Signal conditioning can also be part of a computer simulation when ZFx changes over time, such as with moving sound sources or when using head trackers.
- pi, p 2 and vi, V2 are determined from individual measurements of the transducers Lspl, 2 using the 2-microphone method.
- Sp is the sound pressure signal
- ZFx is the impedance information.
- a modeling of the sound field impedance with passive acoustic Resonators proposed.
- the resonator consists of a tube of arbitrarily shaped cross-sectional area, one opening of which projects into the volume between the ear and the sound transducer. In this case, other resonators can be used.
- the accelerated air in the pipe represents a mass which, together with the stiffness of the air volume, forms a resonance system. Above the resonance frequency. The mass character of the sound field adjusts itself above the resonance frequency. With a flow resistance, the bandwidth and the quality of the system can also be influenced.
- a modeling of the sound field impedance with active electroacoustic systems is proposed.
- a system consisting of a microphone, a sound transducer, an amplifier and a simulation function
- Simple analogously realizable examples are masses, springs, flow resistance or resonators.
- Digital networks are much more versatile, but require very little latency. The principle is based on the modeling of the ratio of pressure and velocity in the KH pressure chamber. Important for the correct function are the pressure-signal proportionality of the microphone M and the signal-membrane-fast proportionality of the transducer WZ.
- the replica function responds to the pressure signal at the input with a speed signal at the output. This signal controls the transducer WZ whose diaphragm is at a proportional speed. If the moving air volume is large enough, he determines the sound field in the headphones.
- the replica may also have another input to control the shape of this transfer function.
- FIG. 5 an embodiment for a function for the analogue reproduction of sound field impedances in the headphones is shown.
- the sound field at the ear of the human head in the free sound field and at low frequencies can be described in a first approximation as a plane wave and a scattered wave, which is reflected by a considered as "breathing" ball.
- the following example shows how an analogue replica of 1 / ZF can look like.
- the example shows an additional simulation 2 of an interference, which leads to a minimum in the sound pressure.
- an earphone is proposed.
- the active electroacoustic systems are particularly interesting for influencing the sound field impedance.
- Important here is the shape of the Earphones, since two transducers and a microphone are so space-saving accommodate that they can be comfortably carried by the listener.
- FIG 6 different arrangements of the sound transducer are specified in an earphone.
