Patent number: 7021419Abstract: A small-sized speaker system having a very excellent bass-range reproduction capability includes a sound radiation component for guiding acoustic waves radiated from the speaker units to a free space by causing a larger degree of air compression and expansion than in the case where acoustic waves are directly radiated to the free space with the speaker units mounted in corresponding enclosures of the same shape as the speaker units. The speaker system has 20% or more lower f0 than in the case where acoustic waves are directly radiated to the free space with the speaker units mounted in corresponding enclosures of the same shape as the speaker units.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Koichi Sadaie, Kenichiro Toyofuku

Publication number: 20050025318Abstract: A reproduction system includes speaker array composed of plural speakers having a diaphragm for reproducing an audio signal and reflection unit disposed in a chamber for reflecting a radiated sound from the speaker array. The plural speakers of the speaker array are positioned so that the vibration direction of each diaphragm may be directed towards the reflection unit, and the reflection path distance from each diaphragm to a listening point, which defines a position of the viewer/listener, via the reflection surface of the reflection unit may be equal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Koichi Sadaie, Tetsuro Nakatake, Noboru Honjo

Patent number: 6798891Abstract: A small-sized speaker system having extremely excellent bass range reproduction capability comprises a speaker unit provided in a closed box and a sound guide through which sound radiated from the speaker unit is guided into the free space so as to cause compression and expansion of air in an extent greater than that in which the speaker unit is provided in a closed box of the same shape but sound is radiated directly into the free space. The f0 of the speaker system is 20% or more lower than that of when the speaker unit is provided in a closed box of the same shape but sound is radiated directly into the free space.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Koichi Sadaie, Kenichiro Toyofuku

Patent number: 6504934Abstract: The present invention includes producing a first processed signal which localizes sound image at a first localization position and a second processed signal which localizes sound image at a second localization position; multiplying one of the first and the second processed signals by a coefficient k which varies in the range of 0 to 1; multiplying the other signal by a coefficient 1−k; and adding the processed signal multiplied by the coefficient k and the processed signal multiplied by the coefficient 1−k.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1999Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Joji Kasai, Koichi Sadaie, Kenichiro Toyofuku, Kazumasa Takemura, Tetsuro Nakatake

Patent number: 6067360Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for localizing a sound image capable of achieving so called "surround-effect" sufficiently with a simple structure while maintaining a sufficient width of a frontal sound field. Both surround left and surround right signals SL, SR are supplied to a sideward localizer 12 for localizing the sound image reproduced by the signals to positions of sideward of a listener. Also, front left and front right signals FL, FR are supplied to the sideward localizer 12. In this way, the sound image reproduced by the signals is localized at positions between speakers arranged in front side and sidewards of the listener, so that a sufficient width of frontal sound field can be maintained eventually.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Joji Kasai, Kazumasa Takemura, Tetsuro Nakatake, Koichi Sadaie, Kenichiro Toyofuku

Patent number: 5033092Abstract: A stereophonic reproduction system which improves an unnatural sound image localization at an asymmetric position relative to right and left loudspeakers. Deterioration in tone quality incidental thereto is improved by filters providing right and left channels with selected phase characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1989Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Onkyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Koichi Sadaie
