Abstract: Playing back of a piece of multimedia sound content by means of the vibration of any radiating structure, produced by contact with a playback device comprising: a mechanical actuator applying vibratory excitation to the structure, from a source signal, corresponding to a multimedia sound signal, a sensor sensing a signal from the vibration of the radiating structure, in order to thus: supply the actuator with a source signal, of known frequency components, receive, from the sensor, a vibration signal from the radiating structure operated by the actuator, in order to obtain a frequency response from the radiating structure, correct the source signal supplied to the actuator, by applying a filter correcting the spectral response of the radiating structure such that this response, once corrected, has a flat spectral profile, with amplitude deviations at most of 5 dB, and supply the actuator with the source signal corrected in this way.

Abstract: Processing implemented by computer means of sound data output by at least one sensor and activation of at least one actuator of an acoustically radiating structure. The sensor senses an acoustic signal output by the vibration of the radiating structure. The radiating structure bears at least one actuator controlled by the computer means and is thus involved in the vibration of the radiating structure. In particular, the method comprises the steps of: a) measuring a transfer function of the actuator, radiating structure and sensor assembly, b) controlling activation of the actuator so as to make the radiating structure vibrate, according to a selected setpoint: taking account of the transfer function measured, and taking account of the acoustic signal sensed by the sensor in feedback mode.

Abstract: A musical instrument having strings and a soundboard, wherein the soundboard is excited by the strings by a transducer and is associated with differential stiffening mechanism defining at least two zones of the soundboard that present complementary vibratory behaviors. The two zones are separated by a slot extending along a common boundary between the two zones. The transducer extends across the slot so as to be connected to both zones of the soundboard, such that both zones are excited simultaneously when action is taken on one of the strings.
