An acoustic speaker device (10) according to the present invention comprises at least two types of gas adsorption materials in a cabinet (12) thereof. A porous carbon material package member (14A), which is one of the gas adsorption materials, can adsorb or eliminate air in the cabinet (12) by a porous carbon material (41) during the operation of a speaker unit (13) so as to buffer compression or expansion of air in the cabinet (12). A sheet-like moisture adsorbing material (14B), which is the other of the gas adsorbing materials, is formed by dispersing copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite (43) in a thermoplastic resin composition (44), and is stuck on at least a section of an inner wall of the cabinet (12). This configuration allows moisture in the cabinet (12) to be rapidly adsorbed.

The present invention relates to an acoustic speaker device, and particularly relates to an acoustic speaker device having enhanced ability to reproduce bass range.
Recently, downsizing of an acoustic device is progressed, and downsizing and/or reduction of thickness (hereinafter, referred to as “downsizing and the like”) is also progressed for an acoustic speaker device. However, it is known that the reproduction of the bass range is difficult since the acoustic speaker device with the downsizing and the like has smaller volume of the cabinet.
More specifically, a general acoustic speaker device is configured to include a speaker unit incorporated in a cabinet. When electric signal is applied to the speaker unit, air in the cabinet is compressed by vibration of the speaker, which serves as an air spring to disturb the movement of the speaker. Smaller volume of the cabinet exhibits larger influence for preventing the movement of the speaker, and therefore this reduces the sound pressure level particularly in the bass region, increasing the lowest resonance frequency. Consequently, in order to enhance the ability to reproduce the bass range, it is necessary to increase the volume of the cabinet, and nevertheless, the increased volume would disturb the downsizing and the like of the acoustic speaker device.
