The at least one microphone capsule holder is arranged displaceably and/or rotatably on the frame.
Abstract:
A speaker includes an electroacoustic driver, a first wall that includes an integral suspension element, and a mass suspended by the suspension element to form a passive radiator. Acoustic energy from the electroacoustic driver can cause the passive radiator to move.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a speaker grill of a speaker including a play unit separable from the speaker grill in a vehicle includes: collecting at least one of information outputted by a sensor equipped in the vehicle and information indicating an operating state of a device equipped in the vehicle; determining an opening ratio of the speaker grill of the speaker based on the collected information; and controlling a motor device coupled to the speaker grill to achieve the opening ratio.
Abstract:
There is provided an external stereo microphone device that enables further enhancement of operational feeling achieved when microphones are reoriented.An external microphone attached to a mobile electronic device includes a pair of symmetrically-positioned microphones 60, a holder unit 40 having a pair of holders 46 symmetrically positioned so as to accommodate the pair of microphones 60 respectively and a joint 48 for joining the pair of holders 46 together, a case 14 having a substantially-cylindrical portion 20 that rotatably supports the holder unit 40 and a body 18 that accommodates a circuit board 22, and a roller 56 that revolves over an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 20 in association with rotation of the holder unit 40.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a wearable personal sound speaker system kit. The kit includes a speaker housing adapted to securely hold a speaker; an attachment mechanism adapted to secure the kit to a worn item; and a connector adapted to couple the speaker housing to the attachment mechanism. The kit is adapted to support the speaker proximate to a user's ear without contacting the ear. Numerous additional features are disclosed.
Abstract:
An audio device includes a housing having first and second support surfaces for supporting the device at different orientations relative to the surface on which the device is placed, a driver to output sound in a radiating pattern associated with a first axis of the driver, and an orientation sensor to detect a direction of a force of gravity. A control circuit coupled to the driver and the orientation sensor determines the direction of the force of gravity relative to the first axis and whether the first axis is oriented to one of a first angle of elevation associated with physically supporting the device by the first surface and a second angle of elevation associated with physically supporting the device by the second surface. The circuit can alters the output by the driver based on the first axis being oriented to the first or second angles of elevation.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a portable electronic device are disclosed, the portable electronic device includes a housing, a hollow sleeve, a speaker assembly, and a keyboard module. The hollow sleeve is pivoted on the housing. The speaker assembly is movably disposed in the hollow sleeve. The keyboard module is movably disposed on the outer surface of the hollow sleeve. Through adjusting the position of the speaker assembly and the keyboard module relative to the housing, the usability of the portable electronic device is improved.
Abstract:
An audio signal processing method and apparatus and a differential beamforming method and apparatus to resolve a problem that an existing audio signal processing system cannot process audio signals in multiple application scenarios at the same time. The method includes determining a super-directional differential beamforming weighting coefficient, acquiring an audio input signal and determining a current application scenario and an audio output signal, acquiring, a weighting coefficient corresponding to the current application scenario, performing super-directional differential beamforming processing on the audio input signal using the acquired weighting coefficient in order to obtain a super-directional differential beamforming signal in the current application scenario, and performing processing on the formed signal to obtain a final audio signal required by the current application scenario. By using this method, a requirement that different application scenarios require different audio signal processing manners can be met.
Abstract:
A variable device for directing sound wavefronts. In one example, individual housings including sound transducers can be shifted relative to one another in such a way that a wavefront adapted to the respective reproduction requirements can be produced. This configuration can be re-designed by mechanically shifting the individual elements of the variable device again.
Abstract:
A thermally insulated receptacle includes a body, a cover, and a loudspeaker. The body defines a cavity. The cover is operatively coupled to the body and movable relative to the body to selectively cover the cavity. The loudspeaker is pivotably coupled to the body. The receptacle may include a spigot that is configured to be fluidly coupled to a bottle.
