The following relates to the loudspeaker field, in particular to a small loudspeaker and mid-treble loudspeaker with multi-input-drives.
The existing traditional small loudspeakers generally adopt a structure comprising a dish-shaped cone of plastic film combined with a voice coil, a groove for fixing the voice coil is arranged at the center of the bottom of the cone, and one end of the voice coil with a single signal input is fixed on the center groove of the bottom of the cone to form a small loudspeaker vibration system, and this small loudspeaker can only be used for single-channel signal input, while single-channel audio signal input has limitations on the original sound reproduction, and the combination of a single voice coil and the cone has a higher requirement of the rigidity for the cone. Or, a fixed voice coil step is arranged at the center of the bottom of the cone, and one end of the voice coil with multi-signal input is fixed on the center step of the bottom of the cone, where the voice coil is formed by stacking multiple sets of coils from inside to outside, to form a small loudspeaker vibration system, and this small loudspeaker can be used for multi-signal input, however, since this type of loudspeaker has multiple sets of coils wound on one voice coil, the weight of the voice coil is increased, and the sensitivity of the small loudspeaker may be reduced, which has limitations on the reproduction of the original sound.
For mid-treble loudspeakers, most generally adopt a structure comprising a dome sound membrane combined with a voice coil, one end of the voice coil is directly fixed on a center groove on the opposite side of the dome sound membrane to form a treble vibration system, and this mid-treble loudspeaker can only be used for single-channel signal input, while single-channel audio signal input has limitations on the original sound reproduction, and the combination of a single voice coil and the sound membrane has a higher requirement of the rigidity for the sound membrane. Or, a fixed voice coil step is arranged at the center of the bottom of the sound membrane, and one end of the voice coil with multi-signal input is fixed on the center step of the bottom of the sound membrane, where the voice coil is formed by stacking multiple sets of coils from inside to outside, to form a mid-treble vibration system, and this mid-treble loudspeaker can be used for multi-signal input, however, since this type of loudspeaker has multiple sets of coils wound on one voice coil, the weight of the voice coil is increased by winding multiple sets of coils on one voice coil, and the sensitivity of the mid-treble loudspeaker may be reduced, which has limitations on the reproduction of the original sound.
