Abstract
A motion inducing system for playing sounds over a gramophone is provided. An electrical signal such as that from a digital music player is converted to lateral movement of a surface using a linear motion transducer. The lateral movement moves the stylus of a gramophone, and the music from the digital music source is played through the horn of the gramophone.
Claims20
A device for playing sound, the device comprising:
- at least one transducer configured to receive an audio input from an electronic source and convert the audio input into linear motion;
- and
- a soundbox coupled to the transducer and including a diaphragm, the diaphragm mechanically connected to the transducer, and wherein linear motion of the transducer moves the diaphragm to produce at least one sound wave in response to receipt of the audio input.
A system for playing sound, the system comprising:
- an electronic sound source configured to provide an audio input;
- a motion inducing device in communication with the electronic sound source, the motion inducing device including
- an electrical circuit constructed and arranged to receive the audio input from the electronic sound source, and
- at least one transducer configured to receive the audio input from the electrical circuit and convert the audio input into linear motion;
- and
- a soundbox coupled to the motion inducing device and including a diaphragm, the diaphragm mechanically connected to the transducer, and wherein linear motion of the transducer moves the diaphragm to produce at least one sound wave in response to receipt of the audio input from the electronic sound source.
