Abstract
Provided is an acoustic reproduction device that includes a first acoustic reproduction unit, and a second acoustic reproduction unit, in which the first acoustic reproduction unit includes a housing having a cylindrical shape and a vibration exciter that vibrates an end surface of one end of the housing. The second acoustic reproduction unit includes a speaker unit and a diffuser that changes a radiation direction of sound reproduced by the speaker unit. The housing, the speaker unit, and the diffuser are arranged so as to be substantially coaxial with a predetermined axis, and the diffuser causes a radiation direction of sound reproduced by the speaker unit and a radiation direction of sound from the first acoustic reproduction unit to be substantially a same.
Claims11
An acoustic reproduction device, comprising:
- a first acoustic reproduction unit;
- and
- a second acoustic reproduction unit, wherein
- the first acoustic reproduction unit includes:
- a housing having a cylindrical shape;
- and
- a vibration exciter configured to vibrate an end surface of one end of the housing,
- the first acoustic reproduction unit is configured to output a first sound based on the vibration of the vibration exciter,
- the second acoustic reproduction unit includes:
- a speaker unit configured to output a second sound toward the first acoustic reproduction unit;
- a diffuser configured to:
- change a radiation direction of the second sound;
- and
- control, based on the change in the radiation direction of the second sound, the radiation direction of the second sound to be substantially same as a radiation direction of the first sound;
- and
- a cabinet that includes:
- a tip cabinet that includes the vibration exciter and the one end of the housing;
- and
- a main cabinet continuous with the tip cabinet,
- the main cabinet is below the tip cabinet,
- the main cabinet includes the diffuser and the speaker unit, and
- the housing, the speaker unit, and the diffuser are substantially coaxial with a determined axis.
