Electroacoustic transducer having controlled ion generation

摘要

The present disclosure relates to the field of acoustics, sound reproduction technologies, and the design principle of the loudspeaker, and more particularly, to an electroacoustic transducer having controlled ion generation. The electroacoustic transducer may include an anode having one or more discharge elements electronically connected to a first terminal of a voltage source, the one or more discharge elements of the anode having a first surface area configured to generate ions in conjunction with the connected voltage source. The electroacoustic transducer may also include a cathode having one or more discharge elements electronically connected to a second terminal of the voltage source, the one or more discharge elements of the cathode having a second surface area configured to generate ions in conjunction with the connected voltage source, wherein a ratio of the first surface area to the second surface area is greater than one.

1. An electroacoustic transducer, comprising:
an anode having one or more discharge elements electronically connected to a first terminal of a voltage source, the one or more discharge elements of the anode having a first surface area configured to generate ions in conjunction with the connected voltage source; and a cathode having one or more discharge elements electronically connected to a second terminal of the voltage source, the one or more discharge elements of the cathode having a second surface area configured to generate ions in conjunction with the connected voltage source, wherein a ratio of the first surface area to the second surface area is greater than one; wherein the first surface area is a surface area of the one or more discharge elements of the anode that is configured to be surrounded by a glow of ionized gas when a voltage potential is applied to the anode by the voltage source; and the second surface area is a surface area of the one or more discharge elements of the cathode that is configured to be surrounded by a glow of ionized gas when a voltage potential is applied to the cathode by the voltage source.
