Patent number: 9191743Abstract: An apparatus for processing an audio signal to focus an acoustic signal by an arrangement of a plurality of loudspeakers comprises a frequency analyzer, a signal processor and a signal output interface. The acoustic signal is based on the audio signal. The frequency analyzer is configured to determine a fundamental frequency in a frequency spectrum of the audio signal depending on a geometry parameter of the arrangement of the plurality of loudspeakers. The signal processor is configured to adapt an overtone of the fundamental frequency to obtain the processed audio signal and the signal output interface is configured to output the processed audio signal to the plurality of loudspeakers.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventor: Daniel Beer

Patent number: 7391879Abstract: An inventive loudspeaker includes a diaphragm, a first excitation means for generating structure-borne sound in the diaphragm, and a second excitation means, different from the first one, for setting the diaphragm into a longitudinal vibrational motion in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the diaphragm. In accordance with the invention, the problem of insufficient bass reproduction and/or of the magnitude conflicting with invisible integration or installation is solved in that a second exciter system is introduced, which uniformly moves the diaphragm, or the plate serving as the diaphragm, forward and backward in addition to the bending waves of the structure-borne sound. The sound reproduction therefore is possible across the entire audio-frequency range without impeding the goal of invisible integration or installation.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Daniel Beer, Berthold Schlenker, Sandra Brix, Thomas Sporer
