Provided is a loudspeaker device that can improve sound quality. The loudspeaker device includes: a loudspeaker housing; a first loudspeaker unit provided in a first wall of the loudspeaker housing; and an acoustic tube communicating an inside and an outside of the loudspeaker housing to each other. The acoustic tube has a predetermined length, and is accommodated in the loudspeaker housing and is helically shaped.

Speaker device

A speaker device includes: a loudspeaker including a diaphragm and a field portion disposed rearwardly of the diaphragm; and a cabinet accommodating the field portion. The loudspeaker also includes a mounting member with which the loudspeaker is mounted to the cabinet, and a mounting plane of the mounting member includes a center of gravity of the loudspeaker.

The present invention provides a loudspeaker capable of matching a sound image and a picture image on a screen of an image reproducer with each other in simple construction and a simple method of installation. The loudspeaker is located above the image reproducer in the vicinity thereof and so constructed as to reproduce a center channel signal in a multichannel sound signal for a movie or the like as a principal object, which comprises a main speaker unit, particular band preventing means for suppressing the level of a particular band in a band of not less than approximately 4 kHz of the main speaker unit, a sub-speaker unit, particular band passing means connected to the sub-speaker unit for passing only the particular band, and a dispersing device located on a front surface of the sub-speaker unit and so constructed that a reproduced sound radiated from the sub-speaker unit is mainly composed of a diffused sound.

Loudspeaker

A motion-picture screen for projecting an optical image, which comprises a weaved knit having an adequate air permeability. One surface of the weaved knit is coated with a colored material so as to keep a high acoustic permeability concurrently with shutting the light from a wall or the like existing at the rear side of the screen. The other surface of the weaved knit is used as a surface onto which the optical image is projected by a projector, thereby providing an excellent contrast and a high image quality on the screen.

Motion-picture screen

An improved dipole type characteristic loudspeaker system has a pair of loudspeakers (1 and 2) which are mounted on the front baffle board (4) and the back baffle board (5) of a console (3) and are connected to be driven in each-other opposite phase relation and have substantially the same acoustic characteristics in the medium and high frequency range but different acoustic characteristic in low frequency range; such loudspeaker system produces good surround-sound effect when used as back loudspeakers only with small number.
