Claims
- 1. A speaker, comprising:
- a main body having open sections at both ends thereof;
- first and second sounding bodies each provided at a respective one of the open sections at both ends of said main body and which are vibrated by electrical signals;
- first and second lid members arranged to cover a respective one of said two sounding bodies; and
- a first opening provided at a side portion of said main body and a second opening provided at a bottom portion of said lid member; wherein
- said first and second sounding bodies are arranged to be driven in a direction in which internal pressure of said main body and internal pressure of said lid members is increased/decreased; and
- a resonance frequency within said main body is differentiated from a resonance frequency within inner portions defined between said main body and each of said first and second lid members.
- 2. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the first and second sounding bodies comprise a piezoelectric body made of ceramic.
- 3. The speaker according to claim 1, further comprising a first input terminal for inputting a first channel signal of a stereo signal connected to said first sounding body and a second input terminal for inputting a second channel signal of said stereo signal is connected to the second sounding body.
- 4. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the first and second sounding bodies each comprise a piezoelectric body arranged to have a bimorph structure.
- 5. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the first and second sounding bodies each comprise a piezoelectric body arranged to have a unimorph structure.
- 6. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein each of the first and second lid members comprise substantially cylindrical members.
- 7. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the first opening provided at a side portion of said main body is substantially circular.
- 8. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the second opening provided at a bottom portion of said lid member is substantially circular.
- 9. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein an acoustic low-pass filter is defined by the arrangement of the first and second sounding bodies and the first and second lid members on the one main body.
- 10. The speaker according to claim 2, wherein sound output from the speaker is a combined output of the right channel signal and the left channel signal.
- 11. The speaker according to claim 1, wherein the main body and the first and second lid members are arranged such that only sound pressure from the first opening provided in the main body and the second opening provided in the lid member is output from the speaker.
- 12. A speaker, comprising:
- a main body having open sections at both ends thereof;
- first and second sounding bodies each provided at a respective one of the open sections at both ends of said main body and which are vibrated by electrical signals; and
- first and second lid members arranged to cover a respective one of said two sounding bodies; wherein
- an acoustic low-pass filter is defined by the arrangement of the first and second sounding bodies and the first and second lid members on the one main body.
- 13. The speaker according to claim 12, further comprising a first opening provided at a side portion of said main body and a second opening provided at a bottom portion of said lid member.
- 14. The speaker according to claim 12, wherein said first and second sounding bodies are arranged to be driven in a direction in which internal pressure of said main body and internal pressure of said lid members is increased/decreased.
- 15. The speaker according to claim 12, wherein a resonance frequency within said main body is differentiated from a resonance frequency within inner portions defined between said main body and each of said first and second lid members.
- 16. The speaker according to claim 12, wherein the first and second sounding bodies comprise a piezoelectric body made of ceramic.
- 17. The speaker according to claim 12, further comprising a first input terminal for inputting a first channel signal of a stereo signal connected to said first sounding body and a second input terminal for inputting a second channel signal of said stereo signal is connected to the second sounding body.
- 18. A speaker, comprising:
- a main body having open sections at both ends thereof;
- first and second sounding bodies each provided at a respective one of the open sections at both ends of said main body and which are vibrated by electrical signals; and
- first and second lid members arranged to cover a respective one of said two sounding bodies; wherein
- a resonance frequency within the main body is differentiated from a resonance frequency within spaces defined between each of the two lid members and the main body.
- 19. The speaker according to claim 18, further comprising a first opening provided at a side portion of said main body and a second opening provided at a bottom portion of said lid member.
- 20. The speaker according to claim 18, further comprising a first input terminal for inputting a first channel signal of a stereo signal connected to said first sounding body and a second input terminal for inputting a second channel signal of said stereo signal is connected to the second sounding body.
