    摘要: A speaker controller includes a switch that is inserted on a speaker wiring for supplying a sound signal to a speaker. A switch control circuit can extract and hold an ON/OFF control signal for instructing ON/OFF of the switch from an alternating-current signal supplied via the speaker wiring. A switch control circuit controls ON/OFF of the switch based on the ON/OFF control signal. A power supply circuit can generate a power supply voltage for operating the switch control circuit from the alternating-current signal supplied via the speaker wiring.

    摘要: An electroacoustic transducer includes: a diaphragm including a cone portion having a conical shape such as a circular conical surface shape or an oval conical surface shape, and a wing-pair portion having a pair of longitudinal split tubular surfaces arranged next to each other, a valley being formed between a side portion of one of the longitudinal split tubular surfaces and a side portion of the other of the longitudinal split tubular surfaces; a converter that performs conversion between vibration of the diaphragm along an axis of the cone portion and an electric signal corresponding to the vibration; and a supporter that supports the diaphragm such that the diaphragm is movable in an axial direction of the cone portion. The small-diameter-side end portion of the cone portion, and a bottom portion of a valley of the wing-pair portion are secured to the converter.

    摘要: An electroacoustic transducer includes: a diaphragm having two pairs of longitudinal split tubular surfaces; a converter that performs conversion between vibration of the diaphragm and an electric signal; and a supporter supporting the diaphragm. The two pairs of longitudinal split tubular surfaces form valleys and ridge portions. In each pair of the two pairs of longitudinal split tubular surfaces, one-side portions of the respective longitudinal split tubular surfaces form a valley. Another-side portion of the split tubular surface of each one of the two pairs and an other-side portion of the split tubular surface of the other of the two pairs form a ridge portion. The two pairs of longitudinal split tubular surfaces are arranged in at least one of a state in which the valleys are orthogonal to each other and a state in which the ridge portions are orthogonal to each other.

    摘要: A class-D amplifier that amplifies an input signal comprises a control circuit configured to generate a control signal that varies in accordance with a level of the input signal, a first generating circuit configured to generate a first pulse, and a second generating circuit configured to generate a second pulse. A pulse width of the first pulse becomes narrower as the signal level of the input signal becomes smaller, and the pulse width of the first pulse becomes wider as an instantaneous magnitude of the input signal becomes larger. A pulse width of the second pulse becomes narrower as the signal level of the input signal becomes smaller, and the pulse width of the second pulse becomes wider as an instantaneous magnitude of the input signal becomes smaller.

    摘要: An acoustic apparatus includes a class-D amplifier including a current feedback circuit, and a speaker system including a voice coil driven by the class-D amplifier. The speaker system is configured such that, in a case where the speaker system is driven by an ordinary amplifier having a first output resistance lower than a second output impedance of the class-D amplifier, a Q factor of the speaker system falls below a predetermined lower limit of an ordinary Q factor range of an ordinary speaker system. The current feedback circuit is configured to increase the second output impedance of the class-D amplifier by feeding a current flowing to the voice coil back to an input of the class-D amplifier so as to increase a Q factor as the acoustic apparatus higher than the predetermined lower limit of the ordinary Q factor range and within the ordinary Q factor range.
