    摘要: Eyewear for outputting audio information to the wearer include an eyewear temple, which has at least one loudspeaker. The eyewear temple is configured for placement on an ear of the wearer and spaced apart from an ear opening of the wearer's ear so that the sound waves generated by the loudspeaker are transmitted over the surroundings to the spaced ear opening. The loudspeaker is an ultrasonic loudspeaker. The eyewear has a parametric audio unit that includes the ultrasonic loudspeaker and configured to generate an audible sound beam directed at the ear.

    摘要: A test device for testing a microphone has at least one test loudspeaker for generating at least one test tone into at least one test cavity. The test device has a compartment for accommodating the microphone to be tested in acoustic communication with the test cavity. The test device has at least one reference microphone for ascertaining a reference signal of the test tone emitted from the test loudspeaker. The test device has a reference cavity separated from the test cavity and acoustically coupled with the reference microphone and the test cavity. The test loudspeaker is arranged between the reference microphone and the test loudspeaker.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a transducer unit for converting electrical signals into deflections and/or deflections into electrical signals, in which a transducer element is arranged on a support element, which is coupled to a diaphragm unit, which is deflectable along a stroke axis, includes the step of casting a fluid and curable diaphragm material onto a reinforcing element of the diaphragm unit to form a flexible diaphragm element. The diaphragm unit is coupled or coupleable to the transducer element. The diaphragm element, together with the reinforcing element, at least partially form the diaphragm unit. A transducer unit includes a diaphragm unit having a reinforcing element and a flexible diaphragm element formed of a fluid and curable diaphragm material that has been cast onto the reinforcing element.

    摘要: A mobile phone includes a housing defining a front side, a touchscreen on the front side, and an audio system integrated into the housing. The audio system includes a first hollow space having a primary opening adjacent the touchscreen, a second hollow space, and a loudspeaker between the two hollow spaces. First sound waves are emitted from the loudspeaker to an ear of a user via the primary opening when the mobile phone is used as intended. The second hollow space has a secondary opening on a back side of the housing opposite the front side. The loudspeaker emits second sound waves via the secondary opening away from the ear into the ear's surroundings. The second sound waves are phase-shifted from the first sound waves and the sound level of the sound waves emitted by the audio system into the surroundings can be reduced.

    摘要: A method for operating a piezoelectric speaker for generating sound waves in the audible wavelength spectrum and/or in the ultrasonic range includes at least partially charging a piezo actuator of the piezoelectric speaker with electrical energy of an energy unit and then at least partially discharging the piezo actuator. The method also includes determining at least one present electrical piezo actuator voltage of the piezo actuator. A future input voltage for the piezo actuator is compared with the present electrical piezo actuator voltage prior to charging and/or discharging, and a future differential voltage is derived therefrom. Furthermore, an embodiment of the method can include returning a part of the energy needed to charge the piezo actuator to the energy unit during discharging.

    摘要: A device and a method for audio signal processing for a piezoelectric speaker for generating sound waves in the audible wavelength spectrum includes a signal input for a digital audio signal, a digital correction unit for correcting a nonlinearity of the speaker, a digital PWM generator that converts the signal corrected by the correction unit into a pulse-width modulated switch signal, a power stage controllable by the switch signal such that the speaker can be charged with a voltage for deflecting a membrane, and a closed-loop control circuit that feeds the voltage back as a feedback signal, which includes a first signal noise in the audible frequency range. The closed-loop control circuit of the device includes a noise shaping unit in that shifts a noise energy of the first signal noise outside of the audible frequency range.
