Abstract

PURPOSE:To install speaker equipment to a location suitable for acoustic reproduction in a cabin by leading a sound wave radiating from a driver section accommodated in a space in the cabin to an acoustic matching section through a flexible pipe. CONSTITUTION:A driver section 9 is contained in a space of a front door 6 and only a horn 10 is provided to a corner of a window glass 7 and the driver section 9 and the horn 10 are connected by a flexible pipe 11. A sound wave radiating from the driver section 9 provided in the inside of a door 6 is propagated in the pipe 11. A plane wave with almost a low loss during the propagation is sent in the pipe 11 whose inner diameter is sufficiently smaller than a wavelength of a reproduced frequency and led to a horn 10 provided to a corner of the wind glass 7. Thus, the position of the sound source radiating a sound wave from the driver section 9 is located to the height of ears of a listener and the sound image is localized in front.

Background of the Invention In recent years, CD players and DAT tape recorders have been installed in vehicles, and as these signal sources have become digitalized and their performance has increased, there has been a strong desire for a speaker device that can reproduce these signals with high fidelity inside the vehicle. . Here, a conventional vehicle-mounted speaker device will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 shows a partially cutaway sectional view of a vehicle compartment equipped with a conventional vehicle-mounted speaker device. In FIG. 4, 1 is a driver's seat, 2 is a handle, a windshield 4 is provided at the top of the front door 3, and a speaker device 5 is attached to the bottom of the front door 3.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional configuration, since the speaker device is located at the feet, the height of the sound source is out of the ear position of the driver or front passenger, who is the listener, and the speaker device has a directional characteristic in the mid-to-high frequency range, so the reproduced sound is unavoidably distorted. Furthermore, since the sound source was located at the feet, the sound image was localized near the feet, resulting in an unnatural sound. The reason why the speaker device is disposed in a position that is not favorable for such sound reproduction conditions is that the magnetic circuit portion of the speaker unit is large and its installation position within the vehicle interior is limited.

Sound waves emitted from the driver section 9 provided inside the door 6 are propagated into the pipe 11. Inside the pipe 11, whose inner diameter is selected to be sufficiently small compared to the wavelength of the frequency to be reproduced, a plane wave with almost no loss during transmission is transmitted, and the windshield 7
The sound waves from the driver section 9 are guided into the vehicle interior by a horn 10 provided at a corner of the vehicle interior, and the horn 10 operates as an acoustic matching device that acoustically matches the pipe 11 and the vehicle interior space. . Note that the horn 10 used as an acoustic matching device has a new wave number f. In the case of an exponential horn, the equivalent radius aM of the cross-sectional area of the opening is 0.5 cm, and it is desirable that C be greater than the speed of sound. Such a horn 10 radiates plane waves transmitted through the pipe 11 into the vehicle interior space without reflecting them. Also,
The speaker unit 8 radiates the low frequency range in which directional characteristics are not a problem because the wavelength is long. Therefore, the division of signals into the bass range and mid-high range is performed by an electrical circuit (not shown), and the mid-high range of the electrical signal is supplied to the driver 9, and the low range of the electrical signal is supplied to the speaker unit 8, respectively.
