Abstract: The present invention provides a sound reproducing system and a sound reproducing apparatus that can provide a high realistic sensation to a user, without having to do a troublesome task on the user's side. A surround-sound system (100) includes: an array speaker system (20) that is formed with speaker units SPU having the same characteristics; and a signal processing apparatus (120) that drives the speaker units SPU independently of one another and amplifies an audio signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sound field correcting system and a reverberation adjusting apparatus capable of correcting a reverberation time characteristic by an easy operation without setting a complicated parameter. A surround system 100 has a sound reproducing apparatus 120 for adjusting a reverberation component of sound on the basis of a reverberation characteristic of a listening room 10 and amplifying the sound by a speaker system 130; and a microphone 140 for collecting the amplified sound in a specific listening position in the listening room 10.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sound reproducing system capable of accurately analyzing a reverberation characteristic of amplified sound including an arrival direction of a reverberation component, which is more natural, and has higher realistic sensation. A surround system 100 has a speaker system 130, a signal processing apparatus 120 for recognizing a reverberation characteristic of a listening room 10 and adjusting a reverberation component of sound source to be amplified on the basis of the recognized reverberation characteristic, and a microphone array 140 constructed by a plurality of microphones M disposed in the listening room 10 and having the same characteristics, and in which distances among the microphones M are determined in advance. In the case where sound source is amplified and output from the speaker system 130 to the listening room 10, the microphone array 140 collects amplified sound in a specific listening position in the listening room 10.

Abstract: A sound signal processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit which obtains a sound signal discriminated for each frequency band; a color assignment unit which assigns color data, different for each frequency band, to the obtained sound signal; a luminance change unit which generates data including a changed luminance of the color data, base on a level for each frequency band of the sound signal; a color mixing unit which generates data obtained by totalizing data generated by the luminance change unit in all the frequency bands; and a display image generating unit which generates image data for display on an image display device from data generated by the color mixing unit. Because of mixing the data for each frequency band and displaying the data as the single image, the sound signal processing apparatus can display the frequency characteristics of plural channels with using the image of small number.

Abstract: A transparency conveying apparatus is provided with: a first rail for guiding one end of a transparency; a second rail for guiding the other end portion, which is provided parallel to the first rail with the transparency reading region placed between the first and second rails; a first belt for conveying the transparency along the first rail, which faces the first rail in a position where the one end is inserted between the first belt and the first rail; a second belt for conveying the transparency along the second rail, which faces the second rail in a position where the other end is inserted between the second belt and the second rail; a first engagement member for engaging the one end with the first belt; a second engagement member for engaging the other end with the second belt; and a drive unit for rotating the first and second belts.

Abstract: A speaker system includes a speaker, a detector for detecting an amplitude value of a diaphragm of the speaker to produce an amplitude signal corresponding to the amplitude value, and an adder for adding the amplitude signal to a driving signal for driving the speaker. In this configuration, the bass range characteristic of the speaker can be improved.

Abstract: A speaker system for use in an automobile vehicle, comprises: a pair of high frequency speakers disposed at opposite ends in a lateral direction of a front section within the vehicle; a pair of low/middle frequency speakers disposed at opposite ends in a lateral direction of the front section, a whole frequency speaker located in the center of the front section. Each of the high frequency speakers is a horn speaker made from a part of a windshield, a part of a side glass and a part of an upper surface of a dashboard in the vehicle.

Abstract: A cylindrical frame is mounted in a cabinet and a magnetic circuit is provided at an end of the frame. A diaphragm having a peripheral free edge is connected to a coil bobbin and a cylindrical ring is secured to the free end edge and disposed in a cylindrical supporting portion of the frame. An annular sealing member is secured to the cylindrical ring so that an outside peripheral wall thereof is slidably contacted with an inside wall of the cylindrical supporting portion of the frame.

Abstract: An onboard package for fixing a portable telephone unit within the passenger compartment of an automobile including a lower tray which is fixed within the passanger compartment, and an upper cover engaged to the lower tray so that the upper cover is operable and closable. Guides for fixing the portable telephone unit are disposed in the lower tray. A slide section for supporting an antenna cable connector is provided in the lower tray. This connector is located at a position facing a connector corresponding thereto on the telephone unit. Further, the slide section is movable in a direction in which the connector is inserted and removed. The upper cover is secured to the slide section with arms engaged with the slide section. The arms are moved in association with the opening and closing operations of the upper cover so as to move the slide section in the above-mentioned direction, whereby the connector is inserted and removed.
