  • Patent number: 10187728
    Abstract: An acoustic enclosure (1), comprising: a non-heat-conducting external wall (20) at least partially defining a casing (25), at least one electrodynamic loudspeaker (5) including a motor (48), the loudspeaker having a peripheral portion (50) fastened on the external wall, and at least one electronic control circuit (10) of the loudspeaker. The motor and the electronic circuit are connected to a same member (15) of the acoustic enclosure. The member conducts heat and includes an exchange surface (66) able to be traversed by a heat flow (68) circulating in the member originating from the motor and the electronic circuit when the acoustic enclosure is operating, the heat flow being intended to dissipate in the air (76) outside the acoustic enclosure or to pass into a heat-conducting element outside the acoustic enclosure.

  • Patent number: 10141905
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a volume gain applied by an amplifier to at least one audio signal according to a desired volume gain selected by a user, which includes calculating a standardized total slow sound level from at least one audio signal, calculating maximum slow volume gain and minimum slow volume gain as the quotient of the product of the desired volume gain by maximum slow gain, respectively by minimum slow gain, divided by the standardized total slow sound level, determining a first minimum out of the desired volume gain and the maximum slow volume gain, determining a second minimum out of the desired volume gain multiplied by a maximum volume gain and the minimum slow volume gain, determining as a slow volume gain the maximum of the first and second previously determined minima, and calculating the volume gain according to the slow volume gain.

  • Patent number: 10075780
    Abstract: The invention relates to a support for an audio system, the audio system comprising a heat source, a discharge surface for the heat and means for conducting at least one portion of the heat produced by the heat source towards the discharge surface. The support further comprises a plate comprising at least one heat-conducting elastic member able to deform for fitting at least one portion of the discharge surface of the audio system, and a thermal dissipation radiator in thermal contact with the elastic member.

  • Publication number: 20180097496
    Abstract: The method for adapting the volume gain (GVolume appliqué) to be applied by an amplifier to at least one audio signal (SAudio 1 to SAudio N) to be reproduced, according to the desired volume gain (GVolume désiré) selected by a user includes the following steps: calculating a standardized total slow sound level (NSLTN) from the at least one signal (SAudio 1 to SAudio N) to be reproduced; calculating a maximum slow volume gain (GVolLentmax) and a minimum slow volume gain (GVolLentmin) as the quotient of the product of the desired volume gain (GVolume désiré) by dividing a maximum slow gain (GLentmax) or respectively a minimum slow gain (GLentMin) by the standardized total slow sound level (NSLTN); determining a first minimum out of the desired volume gain (Gvolume désiré) and the maximum slow volume gain (GVolLentmax); determining a second minimum out of the desired volume gain (GVolume désiré) multiplied by a maximum volume gain (GmaxVolume) and the minimum slow volume gain (GvolLentMin); determining, as a

  • Publication number: 20050084129
    Abstract: Headphones or earphones are commonly known as electro-acoustic transducers used by a single listener. The invention relates to combing insert and non-insert electro-acoustic transducers in a headphone element. In this way a combination of a wide-low frequency reproduction (insert type) and a wide-high frequency reproduction (non-insert type) are obtained.
