Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain a flat sound pressure frequency characteristic suppressing the reduction of low frequency characteristics by setting up an elliptic cylinder as a basic shape and setting up a face obtained by cutting the side face of the elliptic cylinder in parallel with the axial direction of the cylinder as a front plate. CONSTITUTION:An elliptic cylinder having a cross-sectional shape like a pseudo elliptic shape constituted of plural circular arcs is set up as a basic shape and a speaker cabinet is constituted of a front plate 1 consisting of a face obtained by cutting the side face of the cylinder in parallel with the axial direction of the cylinder, a side plate 2 consisting of plural circular arc side faces and a speaker unit fixing part 3 arranged on the center of the front plate 1 as main bodies. Since the diffraction of a sound wave emitted from a diaphragm arranged on the corner part of the speaker unit can be reduced, the disturbance of sound pressure frequency characteristics due to interference between a sound wave generated due to diffraction and the sound wave emitted from the diaphragm can be suppressed. Since the side plate of the elliptic cylinder is used as a pseudo buffle plate, the reduction of a sound pressure level in low frequency can also be suppressed.

In the above structure, when the speaker unit is attached to the speaker unit attaching portion 55 and an electric signal is inputted, the sound emitted from the speaker unit is diffracted at the corner portion of the speaker cabinet and the level of the sound wave generated is tapered. This is suppressed by providing 52. As a result, the disturbance of the sound pressure frequency characteristic due to the interference between the sound wave generated by diffraction and the sound wave emitted from the diaphragm of the speaker unit is suppressed, and a flat sound pressure frequency characteristic is realized.

However, since the loudspeaker cabinet as described above cannot sufficiently reduce the magnitude of the sound wave generated by the diffraction, it is necessary to sufficiently improve the disturbance of the sound pressure frequency characteristics. I can't. In FIG. 6 showing the sound pressure frequency characteristics of the speaker system using the speaker box of the conventional example, the frequency 50
The characteristic rises by about 2.5 dB from 0 Hz to 1.5 KHz. Here, the difference between the sound pressure value in the flat characteristic having a frequency of 2 KHz or more and the sound pressure value in the peak is taken as a value indicating the flatness of the sound pressure frequency characteristic. Also, the taper part 5

When an electric signal is input to the flat panel type speaker unit mounted on the speaker unit mounting portion 3 with the above structure, sound is radiated from the diaphragm to cause diffraction at the corners of the speaker cabinet. Since the face plate 2 has a pseudo elliptical shape, the level of the diffracted wave is small. Therefore, the disturbance of the sound field caused by the interference with the sound waves directly emitted from the diaphragm is reduced. In FIG. 2, which shows the sound pressure frequency characteristics of the speaker system using the speaker cabinet of the embodiment of the present invention, the flatness value is 1.8 dB, which is flatter than the conventional value. Further, since the side plate 2 functions as a pseudo baffle plate in addition to the front plate 1 which is a baffle plate, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the low frequency characteristic by about 1.5 dB with the same baffle area as the conventional example.
