摘要:
An audio signal transmission line including capacitive and/or inductive networks connected in series or parallel with an audio transmission cable providing for increased storage of electrical energy, and thereby overcoming energy storage problems associated with previous audio signal transmission systems which create unwanted pre-emphasis of audio signals at certain frequencies.
摘要:
Audio cabling includes a first conductor in conductive communication with the positive side of the source or of the load. It extends towards but terminates free of the load if it is connected to the source and free of the source if it is connected to the load. A second conductor has a first end in conductive communication with the negative side of the source or of the load. If it is connected to the source negative side it has a second end which extends towards but terminates free of the load. If it is connected to the load negative side it has a second end which extends toward but terminates free of the source. The conductors are separated from one another by a non-conductor. They are sufficiently long whereby they are in adjacent side by side relation at least along portions thereof. High frequency noise which can affect the ear's perception of audio frequency signals is reduced as are low frequency resonance effects.
摘要:
In an audio signal transmission system comprising an interface circuit is connected across the output terminals of an audio signal source or across the input terminals of an audio signal transmission cable coupled to the source. The interface circuit comprises either a discrete capacitance or a distributed capacitance in series with a discrete resistor. The value of the capacitance and the resistance in the interface circuit is chosen such that the time constant of the cable with the interface circuit produces in response to noise a signal having a frequency which is above the audio frequency spectrum but within the passband of the amplifier to which it is coupled.

Cabling (10) is provided for interconnecting amplifier (12) having a positive side (14) and a return side (16) to a load (18) having a positive side (20) and a return side (22). The cabling comprises a first open circuited conductor (24) having a first end (26) connected to a selected one of the amplifier positive side (14) and the amplifier return side (16) and having a second end (28) extending towards and terminating free from connection to the load (18). A second open circuited conductor (30) is provided which has a first end (32) connected to a respective one of the load positive side (20) and the load return side (22), said respective one being of a different polarity than the polarity of the selected one of the amplifier positive side (14) and amplifier return side (16) to which the first open circuited conductor (24) is connected and having a second end (34) extending towards and terminating free from connection to the amplifier (12). A first amplifier-load connecting structure (38) serves for electrically connecting the amplifier positive side (14) to the load positive side (20), the first connecting structure (38) being wound about at least a majority of the length of a selected one of the first and second open circuited conductors (24,30). A second amplifier-load connecting structure (40) serves for electrically connecting the amplifier return side (16) to the load return side (22), the second connecting structure (40) being wound about at least a majority of the length of a selected other of the first and second open circuited conductors (24,30). Improved sound results from use of such cabling.
摘要:
An audio cable in which a plurality of outer conductors surround one or more inner conductors. The outer conductors provide a path for the relatively high frequency components of the signal and the inner conductors provide a path for the relatively low frequency components of the signal. The length of each outer conductor is greater than the length of the inner conductors and the outer conductors are wound around the inner conductors so that the frequency components of the signal arrive at the end of the end of the cable at the same time.
摘要:
A configuration of audio system components, utilizing standard amplifier components, wherein the audio system remains balanced through the speaker input terminals. For each channel of the system, a preamplifier produces a balanced output signal. Two power amplifiers or similar devices are conventionally configured to accept positive and negative input signals. The negative signal output of the preamplifier is connected to the positive input terminal of one of the power amplifiers, and the positive output signal of the preamplifier is connected to the positive input terminal of the other power amplifier. The negative and ground input terminals of both power amplifiers are connected to system ground. The connections between the preamplifiers and the amplifiers may be effected by a unique cable designed for this purpose. The positive output terminal of one of the power amplifier is connected to positive input terminal of the speaker, while the positive-output terminal of the other power amplifier is connected to the negative input terminal of the speaker. The negative output terminals of each power amplifier "floats", unconnected externally to the speakers.
摘要:
In an audio signal transmission system having a source of audio signals and a load coupled thereto by means of a first and second transmission line, a discrete capacitor is coupled in parallel with one or both of the transmission lines. The magnitude of the capacitor is as large as stable operation of the amplifier to which it is connected will permit.
摘要:
An audio signal transmission line comprising an additional inductance inserted in series with the line and/or coupled in parallel therewith near the load end of the line for providing a low pass filter which overcomes parasitic and dielectric capacitance of the line so as to reduce audio frequency noise generated in the line by low level and low frequency audio signals. The magnitude of the inductance used may vary widely, e.g. from 20 microhenries to 1 millihenry, depending on the length of the line and the space available.
