In FIG. 1, from the front to the rear of the vehicle 5, the direction of the ear of the driver 20 from the speaker is X, the width direction of the vehicle 5 is Y, and the direction defined by the outer product of X and Y axes is The Z direction is the vertical direction of 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the right speaker 30 is disposed such that its directivity is strong toward the right ear 21 of the driver 20. Further, the left speaker 40 is disposed such that the directivity thereof becomes stronger toward the left ear 22 of the driver 20. That is, the output shaft 31 of the right speaker 30 is mounted in the direction of the right ear 21 of the driver 20 and the output shaft 41 of the left speaker 40 is mounted in the direction of the left ear 22 of the driver 20 It is done.

図2に示すように、左スピーカ40の出力軸41が運転者20の左耳22の方向になるように、左スピーカ40をやや上向き(X軸方向)に配置する。右スピーカ30も同様に、やや上向き(X軸方向)に配置する。これにより、2つのスピーカ30、40の指向性が乗員の耳21、22に向けて強くなるように配置された構成となる。
As shown in FIG. 2, the left speaker 40 is disposed slightly upward (in the X-axis direction) such that the output shaft 41 of the left speaker 40 is in the direction of the left ear 22 of the driver 20. Similarly, the right speaker 30 is disposed slightly upward (in the X-axis direction). As a result, the directivity of the two speakers 30 and 40 is arranged to be stronger toward the ears 21 and 22 of the occupant.
(スピーカの指向特性)
図3A、図3Bで示すスピーカの指向特性は、X方向とZ方向の指向特性が異なる場合を示している。図3Aにおいて、スピーカ30、40から出力される音の広がりを示す指向特性は、音波面35のX軸上の点35aが最大であり、X軸上の最大音圧から6dBだけ音圧が低下する35b、35cの点で規定される開き角を指向角度θ2と定義する。図3Aにおいて、Y方向における指向角度はθ2である。 (Directivity characteristic of speaker)
The directivity characteristics of the speaker shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B show cases where the directivity characteristics in the X direction and the Z direction are different. In FIG. 3A, the directional characteristic indicating the spread of the sound output from the speakers 30 and 40 has a maximum point 35a on the X axis of the sound wave surface 35, and the sound pressure drops by 6 dB from the maximum sound pressure on the X axis The opening angle defined by the points 35b and 35c is defined as the directivity angle θ2. In FIG. 3A, the directivity angle in the Y direction is θ2.

The directivity characteristics of the speaker shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B show cases where the directivity characteristics in the X direction and the Z direction are different. In FIG. 3A, the directional characteristic indicating the spread of the sound output from the
図3Bにおいて、スピーカ30、40から出力される音の広がりを示す指向特性は、音波面36のX軸上の点36aが最大であり、X軸上の最大音圧から6dBだけ音圧が低下する36b、36cの点で規定される開き角を指向角度θ1と定義する。図3Bにおいて、Z方向における指向角度はθ1である。指向角度はθ1>θ2である。
In FIG. 3B, the directivity characteristic indicating the spread of the sound output from the speakers 30 and 40 is maximum at point 36a on the X axis of the sound wave surface 36, and the sound pressure is reduced by 6 dB from the maximum sound pressure on the X axis The opening angle defined by the points 36b and 36c is defined as the directivity angle .theta.1. In FIG. 3B, the directivity angle in the Z direction is θ1. The pointing angle is θ1> θ2.
図3A、図3Bからわかるように、指向角度はθ1>θ2であるので、図3A、図3Bで示すスピーカの指向特性は、Z方向、すなわち、車両5の車高の方向に広い範囲となる。
As can be seen from FIGS. 3A and 3B, since the directivity angle is θ1> θ2, the directivity characteristics of the speakers shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B are in a wide range in the Z direction, that is, the direction of the height of the vehicle 5. .
図4A、図4Bで示すスピーカの指向特性は、スピーカの指向性が全方位性を有する場合を示している。図4Aにおいて、スピーカ30、40から出力される音の広がりを示す指向特性は、音波面36のX軸上の点36aが最大であり、X軸上の最大音圧から6dBだけ音圧が低下する36b、36cの点で規定される開き角を指向角度θ1と定義する。図4Aにおいて、Y方向における指向角度はθ1である。
The directivity characteristics of the speaker shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B show the case where the directivity of the speaker is omnidirectional. In FIG. 4A, the directivity characteristic indicating the spread of the sound output from the speakers 30 and 40 is maximum at point 36a on the X axis of the sound wave surface 36, and the sound pressure is reduced by 6 dB from the maximum sound pressure on the X axis The opening angle defined by the points 36b and 36c is defined as the directivity angle .theta.1. In FIG. 4A, the directivity angle in the Y direction is θ1.
図4Bにおいて、スピーカ30、40から出力される音の広がりを示す指向特性は、音波面36のX軸上の点36aが最大であり、X軸上の最大音圧から6dBだけ音圧が低下する36b、36cの点で規定される開き角を指向角度θ1と定義する。図4Bにおいて、Z方向における指向角度はθ1である。
In FIG. 4B, the directional characteristic indicating the spread of the sound output from the speakers 30 and 40 has the maximum point 36a on the X axis of the sound wave surface 36, and the sound pressure drops by 6 dB from the maximum sound pressure on the X axis The opening angle defined by the points 36b and 36c is defined as the directivity angle .theta.1. In FIG. 4B, the directivity angle in the Z direction is θ1.
図4A、図4Bからわかるように、指向角度はX方向、Z方向共にθ1であるので、図4A、図4Bで示すスピーカの指向特性は、全方位性を有するものとなる。
As can be seen from FIGS. 4A and 4B, since the directivity angle is θ1 in both the X direction and the Z direction, the directivity characteristics of the speaker shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B have omnidirectionality.
(車高の方向に広い指向特性を有するスピーカの配置)
図3A、図3Bで示したスピーカ30、40を所定の向きでインストルメントパネル7に配置した場合を、図5に示す。 (Speaker arrangement with wide directional characteristics in the direction of the vehicle height)
The case where the speakers 30 and 40 shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are arranged on the instrument panel 7 in a predetermined direction is shown in FIG.
図3A、図3Bで示したスピーカ30、40を所定の向きでインストルメントパネル7に配置した場合を、図5に示す。 (Speaker arrangement with wide directional characteristics in the direction of the vehicle height)
The case where the
図5に示すように、図3Bで示したスピーカ30、40の指向角度の大きい方(指向角度θ1)をZ軸方向、車高の方向として配置する。これにより、指向性が車高の方向に広い範囲となるように配置される。
As shown in FIG. 5, one of the speakers 30 and 40 shown in FIG. 3B with the larger directivity angle (directivity angle θ1) is disposed as the Z-axis direction and the direction of the vehicle height. Thus, the directivity is arranged in a wide range in the direction of the vehicle height.
一方、図3Aで示したスピーカ30、40の指向角度の小さい方(指向角度θ2)をY軸方向、車幅の方向として配置する。
On the other hand, the smaller directional angle (directional angle θ2) of the speakers 30, 40 shown in FIG. 3A is disposed as the Y-axis direction and the direction of the vehicle width.
図5に示すように、運転者20の耳21、22の位置は、座席10の車高方向への高さ調整や、座席10に着座する運転者20の身長の高い低いにより変化する。したがって、スピーカ30、40の指向性が車高の方向に広い範囲となるように配置されることにより、スピーカ30、40の指向性が乗員の耳21、22に向けて強くなるように配置され、運転者20の耳元に音を安定して定位させることができる。
As shown in FIG. 5, the positions of the ears 21 and 22 of the driver 20 change due to the height adjustment of the seat 10 in the vehicle height direction and the height and lowness of the driver 20 sitting on the seat 10. Therefore, by arranging the directivity of the speakers 30, 40 to be in a wide range in the direction of the vehicle height, the directivity of the speakers 30, 40 is arranged to be stronger toward the ears 21, 22 of the occupant. The sound can be stably localized at the ear of the driver 20.
(制御部による音像の定位制御)
制御部100は、図1に示すように、右スピーカ30を駆動する駆動部110、左スピーカ40を駆動する駆動部120を備えている。駆動部110は、右音声信号S1と、左音声信号S2の位相調整信号S21を加算して、増幅して右スピーカ30を駆動する。同様に、駆動部120は、左音声信号S2と、右音声信号S1の位相調整信号S12を加算して、増幅して左スピーカ40を駆動する。 (Localization control of sound image by control unit)
As shown in FIG. 1, thecontrol unit 100 includes a drive unit 110 that drives the right speaker 30 and a drive unit 120 that drives the left speaker 40. The driving unit 110 adds the right audio signal S1 and the phase adjustment signal S21 of the left audio signal S2 and amplifies the same to drive the right speaker 30. Similarly, the drive unit 120 adds the left audio signal S2 and the phase adjustment signal S12 of the right audio signal S1 and amplifies the same to drive the left speaker 40.
制御部100は、図1に示すように、右スピーカ30を駆動する駆動部110、左スピーカ40を駆動する駆動部120を備えている。駆動部110は、右音声信号S1と、左音声信号S2の位相調整信号S21を加算して、増幅して右スピーカ30を駆動する。同様に、駆動部120は、左音声信号S2と、右音声信号S1の位相調整信号S12を加算して、増幅して左スピーカ40を駆動する。 (Localization control of sound image by control unit)
As shown in FIG. 1, the
位相調整回路115は、右音声信号S1の位相を調整(位相遅延)して、駆動部120に位相調整信号S12を出力する。位相調整は、右音声信号S1と位相調整信号S12の位相差α°として適宜設定可能である。
The phase adjustment circuit 115 adjusts the phase of the right audio signal S1 (phase delay), and outputs the phase adjustment signal S12 to the drive unit 120. The phase adjustment can be appropriately set as the phase difference α ° between the right audio signal S1 and the phase adjustment signal S12.
同様に、位相調整回路125は、左音声信号S2の位相を調整(位相遅延)して、駆動部110に位相調整信号S21を出力する。位相調整は、左音声信号S2と位相調整信号S21の位相差α°として適宜設定可能である。なお、この位相差α°の設定は、2つのスピーカ30、40が座席10の中心線11を挟んで対称に配置されている場合であり、スピーカ30、40が座席10の中心線11を挟んで非対称に配置されている場合等は、位相調整回路115と位相調整回路125で設定される位相差は異なる値とすることができる。
Similarly, the phase adjustment circuit 125 adjusts the phase of the left audio signal S2 (phase delay), and outputs the phase adjustment signal S21 to the drive unit 110. The phase adjustment can be appropriately set as the phase difference α ° between the left audio signal S2 and the phase adjustment signal S21. The setting of the phase difference α ° is a case where the two speakers 30, 40 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line 11 of the seat 10, and the speakers 30, 40 sandwich the center line 11 of the seat 10. The phase difference set by the phase adjustment circuit 115 and the phase adjustment circuit 125 can be set to different values when they are arranged asymmetrically.
上記説明した駆動部110、120、位相調整回路115、125は、それぞれ、ゲインの調整が可能である。したがって、図1で示すように、駆動部110における右音声信号S1と位相調整信号S21の加算割合、駆動部120における左音声信号S2と位相調整信号S12の加算割合を調節できる。また、右スピーカ30、左スピーカ40から出力される音圧を調節でき、左右のステレオ音のバランスを調節することもできる。
Each of the drive units 110 and 120 and the phase adjustment circuits 115 and 125 described above can adjust the gain. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the addition ratio of the right audio signal S1 and the phase adjustment signal S21 in the drive unit 110 and the addition ratio of the left audio signal S2 and the phase adjustment signal S12 in the drive unit 120 can be adjusted. Moreover, the sound pressure output from the right speaker 30 and the left speaker 40 can be adjusted, and the balance between the left and right stereo sounds can also be adjusted.
制御部100は、2つのスピーカ30、40から出力される音による立体音像が維持されるように各スピーカから出力される音の特性を制御する。
The control unit 100 controls the characteristics of the sound output from each of the speakers so that the three-dimensional sound image of the sounds output from the two speakers 30 and 40 is maintained.
右耳21には、右スピーカ30から出力される右チャンネルの音S30と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dが到達すると共に、左スピーカ40から出力される左チャンネルの音S40と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dが到達する。
The right ear 21 receives the sound S30 of the right channel output from the right speaker 30 and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel, and the sound S40 of the left channel output from the left speaker 40 and the phase of the right channel The adjusted sound S30d arrives.
右耳21に到達する右チャンネルの音は、右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dである。
The sound of the right channel that reaches the right ear 21 is the sound S30 of the right channel and the phase-adjusted sound S30d of the right channel.
また、右耳21に到達する左チャンネルの音は、左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dである。
Further, the sound of the left channel reaching the right ear 21 is the sound S40 of the left channel and the sound S40d of which the phase is adjusted in the left channel.
したがって、制御部100は、右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dの合成音が最大となり、左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dの合成音が最小となるように制御する。
Therefore, the control unit 100 determines that the synthesized sound of the sound S30 of the right channel and the phase-adjusted sound S30d of the right channel is the largest, and the synthesized sound of the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d is the smallest. Control to be
右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dの合成音が右耳21において最大となるようにするには、例えば、制御部100は、距離L11を進む音S30と距離L21を進む音S30dとの位相差が、2πn(n=0、1、2・・・)となるように位相差α°を設定する。なお、距離L11は、右スピーカ30から右耳21までの距離、距離L21は、左スピーカ40から右耳21までの距離である。
For the synthesized sound of the right channel sound S30 and the right channel phase-adjusted sound S30d to be maximum at the right ear 21, for example, the control unit 100 proceeds to the sound S30 traveling on the distance L11 and the distance L21. The phase difference α ° is set so that the phase difference with the sound S30 d is 2πn (n = 0, 1, 2...). A distance L11 is a distance from the right speaker 30 to the right ear 21, and a distance L21 is a distance from the left speaker 40 to the right ear 21.
左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dの合成音が右耳21において最小となるようにするには、距離L21を進む音S40と距離L11を進む音S40dとの位相差が、πn(n=0、1、2・・・)となるように位相差α°を設定する。
In order for the synthetic sound of the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel to be minimum in the right ear 21, the phase difference between the sound S40 traveling on the distance L21 and the sound S40d traveling on the distance L11 is , .Pi.n (n = 0, 1, 2,...) Are set.
上記示した左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dの合成音が右耳21において最小となるように設定することにより、右耳21の位置において、右チャンネルの音S30と左チャンネルの音S40のクロストークが低減あるいは相殺される。
By setting the synthesized sound of the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel to be minimum at the right ear 21, the sound S30 of the right channel and the left sound can be detected at the position of the right ear 21. Cross talk of the channel sound S40 is reduced or canceled.
同様にして、左耳22には、左スピーカ40から出力される左チャンネルの音S40と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dが到達すると共に、右スピーカ30から出力される右チャンネルの音S30と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dが到達する。
Similarly, the left ear 22 receives the sound S40 of the left channel output from the left speaker 40 and the phase-adjusted sound S30d of the right channel, and the sound S30 of the right channel output from the right speaker 30 The phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel arrives.
左耳22に到達する左チャンネルの音は、左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dである。
The sound of the left channel reaching the left ear 22 is the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel.
また、左耳22に到達する右チャンネルの音は、右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dである。
The sound of the right channel reaching the left ear 22 is the sound S30 of the right channel and the sound S30d of which the phase of the right channel is adjusted.
したがって、制御部100は、左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dの合成音が最大となり、右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dの合成音が最小となるように制御する。
Therefore, the control unit 100 determines that the synthesized sound of the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel is the largest, and the synthesized sound of the sound S30 of the right channel and the phase-adjusted sound S30d is the smallest. Control to be
左チャンネルの音S40と左チャンネルの位相調整された音S40dの合成音が左耳22において最大となるようにするには、例えば、制御部100は、距離L22を進む音S40と距離L12を進む音S40dの位相差が、2πn(n=0、1、2・・・)となるように位相差α°を設定する。なお、距離L22は、左スピーカ40から左耳22までの距離、距離L12は、右スピーカ30から左耳22までの距離である。
In order for the synthetic sound of the sound S40 of the left channel and the phase-adjusted sound S40d of the left channel to be maximum at the left ear 22, for example, the control unit 100 proceeds the sound S40 traveling on the distance L22 and the distance L12. The phase difference α ° is set so that the phase difference of the sound S40d is 2πn (n = 0, 1, 2...). The distance L22 is the distance from the left speaker 40 to the left ear 22, and the distance L12 is the distance from the right speaker 30 to the left ear 22.
右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dの合成音が左耳22において最小となるようにするには、距離L12を進む音S30と距離L22を進む音S30dの位相差が、πn(n=0、1、2・・・)となるように位相差α°を設定する。
In order to minimize the synthesized sound of the right channel sound S30 and the right channel phase adjusted sound S30d at the left ear 22, the phase difference between the sound S30 traveling on the distance L12 and the sound S30d traveling on the distance L22 is The phase difference α ° is set to be π n (n = 0, 1, 2...).
上記示した右チャンネルの音S30と右チャンネルの位相調整された音S30dの合成音が左耳22において最小となるように設定することにより、左耳22の位置において、左チャンネルの音S40と右チャンネルの音S30のクロストークが低減あるいは相殺される。
By setting the synthesized sound of the sound S30 of the right channel and the phase-adjusted sound S30d of the right channel to be minimum at the left ear 22, the sound S40 of the left channel and the right at the position of the left ear 22 Cross talk of the channel sound S30 is reduced or canceled.
上記示した制御部100による位相調整により、耳元に音を定位させることができ、2つのスピーカから出力される音による立体音像が維持されるように制御することができる。
By the above-described phase adjustment by the control unit 100, the sound can be localized at the ear, and control can be performed such that a three-dimensional sound image by the sounds output from the two speakers is maintained.
本発明の実施の形態は、上記示した2つのスピーカに限られず、3以上のスピーカが座席10の中心線11を挟んで配置される場合にも適用可能である。すなわち、各スピーカから出力される音のスピーカから乗員の耳までの距離と位相差とを考慮し、右耳、左耳それぞれにおいて、合成音が最大、最小になるように位相差を設定することにより、右チャンネルの音と左チャンネルの音のクロストークが低減あるいは相殺される。これにより、3以上のスピーカの場合においても、耳元に音を定位させることができ、3つ以上のスピーカから出力される音による立体音像が維持されるように制御することができる。
The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the two speakers shown above, and is applicable to the case where three or more speakers are arranged with the center line 11 of the seat 10 interposed therebetween. That is, in consideration of the distance from the speaker of the sound output from each speaker to the occupant's ear and the phase difference, the phase difference should be set so that the synthesized sound is maximum and minimum in each of the right and left ears. The crosstalk between the sound of the right channel and the sound of the left channel is reduced or canceled out. Thus, even in the case of three or more speakers, sound can be localized at the ear, and control can be performed so that a three-dimensional sound image by sounds output from three or more speakers is maintained.
