Abstract: A loudspeaker (10) according to the invention is presented, which contains at least one radially magnetized permanent magnet (12), and whose receiving part is made of a paramagnetic or diamagnetic material. Such loudspeakers (10) can be constructed in a very simple and compact manner. With the further development of loudspeakers (10) able to utilize the stray flux from radially magnetized permanent magnets (12), it is possible to produce derivations with two diaphragms (13, 13′) with identical reproduction frequencies, without great cost.

Abstract: The invention concerns the embodiment of drivers for panel loudspeakers. Panel loudspeakers working according to the principle of bending waves are already known in prior art. Said loudspeakers generally consist of an acoustic panel (11) and at least one driver (12). As a general rule, the driver (12) is arranged on an auxiliary frame at a distance from the acoustic panel (11). Said embodiment makes it possible to use conventional drivers (12) that can also be utilized in cone loudspeakers. A series of problem arise when the drivers (12) are to be integrated on or into the acoustic panel (11) itself. Said embodiment requires inter alia that the different components of the driver (12) be directly mounted on the acoustic panel (12). Hence, the invention aims at providing a driver for panel loudspeakers that can be connected with little complications to the acoustic panel (11) as a pre-fabricated component.

Abstract: A tweeter with a light, thin sandwich plate which can be excited into multiple reflected bending waves, and a driver which makes a vibrating contact and excites the sandwich plate, where the driver is designed for higher sound frequencies and the sandwich plate for propagating bending waves with low damping. The sandwich plate is freely carried with low damping by holding elements, where the latter are designed to be low damping at higher sound frequencies.

Abstract: A flat panel loudspeaker arrangement with several identical panel loudspeakers is disclosed. The panel loudspeakers are arranged seamlessly side-by-side and are rigidly connected with one another along their respective edges with a high shear strength. The panel loudspeakers can be supported by an existing stable wall.

Abstract: The invention presents a sound reproduction device which operates in accordance with the flexural wave principle. Such devices have in common that a panel 10 is provided in which flexural waves are produced by a drive arrangement 16. The drive arrangements 16 in the state of the art are connected to one of the surfaces of the panel 10 and are held by a support structure which functions as a countersupport. Such support structures either hinder the propagation of the flexural waves along the surface of the panel 10 and/or lead to an increase in the constructed depth of such a sound reproduction device. To avoid these disadvantages of the state of the art, the drive system 16 is located in a cutout 15 of the panel 10.

Abstract: The invention relates to acoustic walls for large public events. Traditionally, sound is reproduced by using a plurality of large and heavy loudspeaker boxes which requires a complicated and expensive support system. The present invention provides a segmented acoustic wall which has an essentially flat shape and is also extremely lightweight. Several of these segments can be integrated to form an acoustic wall by coupling the different segments with one another, whereby the entire surface area of the acoustic wall can be used to radiate sound without requiring additional sound sources in the audience space. The various segments can be optimized for certain frequency ranges by tuning the surface area and depth of the respective segments to the respective transmitted frequencies. Several acoustic walls can be placed side-by-side to flexibly conform to different requirements in the audience space.

Abstract: The invention proposes a suspension mount for sound reproduction devices according to the flexural wave principle. Characteristic for such devices is that a panel 10 is provided which must be flexibly attached to a holder 17. The panel 10 is composed of a core layer with a perforated structure, and two cover layers 12 which cover the core layer 11. Since the usual edge borders of conventional loudspeakers must be designed very hard due to the size and weight of the panel 10, the quality of the sound reproduction by such a device is reduced. For that reason the objective of the invention is a suspension mount which avoids the drawbacks of the state of the art. To that end it is proposed to build the suspension mount with the core layer 11 and/or at least one of the cover layers 12. If the core layer 11 itself provides the flexible attachment, it is also possible without any great effort to flexibly attach the panel 10 away from the edge areas.

Abstract: Voice coil assemblies are designed so that the solder points which connect the coil wires and the stranded wires, are connected via a separate adhesive seam to the diaphragm or the voice coil carrier. According to the invention, the solder points are placed in the adhesive seam by which the centering membrane is connected to the voice coil carrier. The first region of the centering membrane is designed to be open in the direction of the voice coil. By locating the solder points in the adhesive seam a voice coil assembly is created which is distinguished by a low design height, a good current-carrying capacity and an excellent height reproduction.
