PANEL FORM ACOUSTIC APPARATUS USING BENDING WAVES MODES

摘要

A panel form acoustic member capable of supporting bending wave vibration has the bending wave velocity varied in the region of coincidence to provide a range of coincidence frequencies, for causing the acoustic coupling of the bending waves in the panel to occur over a broader range of angles or for making the coupling more uniform. The member may be incorporated in a loudspeaker having a panel member (1) and an exciter (3) fixed to the panel member to excite bending waves in the loudspeaker to cause an acoustic output.
