Abstract

A loudspeaker system composed of a flexible panel with an affixed array of force actuators, a signal processing system, and interface electronic circuits is described. The system described is capableof creating a pattern of standing bending waves at any location on the panel and the instantaneous amplitude, velocity, or acceleration of the standing waves can be controlled by an audio signal to create localized acoustic sources at the selected locations in the plane of the panel.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 62 / 259,702, filed November 25, 2016, entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUDIOSCENE GENERATION BY EFFECTING SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL CONTROL OF THE VIBRATIONSOF A PANEL," which is incorporated by reference in its entirety Incorporated into this article. Background technique [0003] Loudspeakers that reproduce sound using the bending-mode vibration of a diaphragm or plate were first proposed at least 90 years ago. The design concept resurfaced in the 1960s when it was commercialized as the "Natural Sound Loudspeaker," a trapezoid-shaped, resin-styrofoam composite diaphragm driven at a central point by a dynamic force transducer structure. In the description of the device, the inventors identify the "multi-resonant" nature of the diaphragm and emphasize that the presence of higher order modes increases the efficiency of sound production. Natural ...
