SPEAKER GRILLE PASSIVELY TENSIONING ACOUSTIC FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240381014 titled 'SPEAKER GRILLE PASSIVELY TENSIONING ACOUSTIC FABRIC
The abstract describes an audio system that includes a processing module for receiving audio data information and generating an audio signal, a speaker driver to generate a driving signal in response to the audio signal, and a speaker assembly with a diaphragm and a grille defining a cavity.
- The processing module receives audio data information and generates an audio signal.
- The speaker driver generates a driving signal in response to the audio signal.
- The speaker assembly includes a diaphragm for generating sound waves and a grille with a fabric covering, exposing the fabric to the cavity.
- The center point of the grille is convex from the perimeter, and the fabric slidably contacts the grille along the perimeter of each hole.
- The grille and diaphragm collectively define a cavity for sound generation.
Potential Applications: - High-quality audio systems for home entertainment. - Professional sound systems for theaters and concert venues. - Automotive audio systems for immersive driving experiences.
Problems Solved: - Enhancing sound quality and clarity in audio systems. - Providing a durable and efficient speaker assembly design. - Improving the overall audio listening experience for users.
Benefits: - Crisp and clear sound reproduction. - Durable and long-lasting speaker assembly. - Immersive audio experience for users.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Speaker Assembly for Enhanced Audio Quality This technology can be used in high-end audio equipment for home entertainment systems, professional sound setups in theaters and concert venues, and premium automotive audio systems. The market implications include catering to audiophiles and sound enthusiasts looking for top-notch audio quality.
Prior Art: Readers can start searching for prior art related to speaker assembly designs, audio signal processing modules, and speaker driver technologies in the field of audio engineering and acoustics.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in speaker assembly designs, audio signal processing algorithms, and sound wave propagation research to enhance audio system performance and user experience.
Questions about the Innovative Speaker Assembly: 1. How does the convex center point of the grille contribute to sound generation? The convex center point of the grille helps in dispersing sound waves more effectively, enhancing the overall audio output quality.
2. What benefits does the fabric covering provide in the speaker assembly design? The fabric covering not only protects the grille but also allows sound to pass through while maintaining the structural integrity of the speaker assembly.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio system includes a processing module for receiving audio data information. the processing module generates an audio signal based at least partly on the received audio data information. the system further includes a speaker driver, communicatively coupled to the processing module to receive the audio signal and to generate a driving signal in response to the audio signal. the system includes a speaker assembly including a diaphragm for generating sound waves in response to the audio signal, a grille defining a plurality of holes, wherein the grille and the diaphragm collectively at least partly define a cavity therebetween, wherein a center point of the grille is convex from a perimeter of the grille, and a fabric, covering the grille, wherein the holes of the grille expose the fabric to the cavity, and wherein the fabric slidably contacts the grille along a perimeter of each of the holes.
