Comparing Sound Radiation from a Loudspeaker with that from a Flexible Spherical Cap on a Rigid Sphere*
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been suggested by Morse and Ingard that the sound radiation of a loudspeaker in a box is comparable to that of a spherical cap on a rigid sphere. This has been established recently by the present authors, who developed a computation scheme for the forward and inverse calculation of the pressure due to a harmonically excited, flexible cap on a rigid sphere with an axially symmetric velocity distribution. In this paper the comparison is made for other quantities relevant to audio engineers, namely, the baffle-step response, sound power and directivity, and the acoustic center of a radiator.

Sound radiation from a resilient spherical cap on a rigid sphere.
It has been argued that the sound radiation of a loudspeaker is modeled realistically by assuming the loudspeaker cabinet to be a rigid sphere with a resilient spherical cap. Series expansions, valid in the whole space outside the sphere, for the pressure due to a harmonically excited cap with an axially symmetric velocity distribution are presented. The velocity profile is expanded in function...
متن کاملComputations of the Directivity of Spherical Microphone Arrays
The aim of this research is to create a microphone array on a rigid sphere that could be used for teleconferences and for recording of music with the aim of five-channel loudspeaker surround sound reproduction. Experiments were undertaken, within a MATLAB environment, by running computer simulations that tested the directivity of a rigid sphere microphone array in both near and far field. The s...

Transparent acoustic sensors and actuators are a new generation of acoustic transducers that can create an evolution in the microphone and loudspeakers industries. These transducers with properties like transparency, flexibility, flatness, very low weight and thickness have a great potential for various applications like public speakers, active noise cancelation systems, displays, cell phones a...
متن کاملCrosstalk Cancellation for Spherical Loudspeaker Arrays
Spherical loudspeaker arrays for directivity pattern synthesis of natural sound sources have been recently reconsidered in electro-acoustic research [3, 4, 5]. Quite some time after the pioneering works in that field [1, 2], multichannel hardware and computational resources are easy to obtain, and the design and control issues receive increased interest. The loudspeaker arrays considered here c...
متن کاملQuiet Zones for Active Control of Sound Using Spherical Loudspeaker Array
Active control of sound can be employed globally to reduce noise levels in an entire enclosure, or locally around a listener‘s head. Recently, spherical loudspeaker arrays have been studied as multiple-channel sound sources capable of generating sound fields with high complexity. In this paper, several aspects of using a spherical loudspeaker array for local active control of sound are investig...
