  • Patent number: 9736582
    Abstract: An audio amplifier and a warning sound amplifier are connected in parallel to each other, relative to a voice coil of a loudspeaker. A resistor having an impedance greater than an impedance of the voice coil is connected to the voice coil and is also connected to the warning sound amplifier. An audio signal from the warning sound amplifier is input to the voice coil via the resistor. Thus, since the warning sound amplifier is connected to the resistor having the impedance greater than the impedance of the voice coil of the loudspeaker, even in a case where only the audio amplifier is operated, a large current is prevented from flowing into the warning sound amplifier.
