Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Lautsprechersystem gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a loudspeaker system according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 1 734 786 A1 ist ein flächiges Klangpanel mit einem einzelnen Resonanzboden bekannt, auf dessen Oberfläche in einem messtechnisch zu bestimmenden Knotenschwingungspunkt eine Erregereinrichtung angeordnet ist.From the EP 1 734 786 A1 a flat sound panel with a single soundboard is known, on the surface of which an excitation device is arranged in a node oscillation point to be determined by measurement.

Ausgehend vom vorstehend genannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lautsprechersystem bereitzustellen, welches sich durch eine einfachere Herstellung und verbesserte akustische Eigenschaften auszeichnet.Proceeding from the prior art mentioned above, the invention is based on the object of providing a loudspeaker system which is characterized by simpler manufacture and improved acoustic properties.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Lautsprechersystem gemäß den Merkmalen das Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a loudspeaker system according to the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der von Patentanspruch 1 abhängigen Unteransprüche.Advantageous further developments are the subject matter of the dependent claims dependent on claim 1.

Gemäß dem Anspruch 1 wird ein Lautsprechersystem vorgeschlagen, welches zwei Resonanzböden umfasst, die einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet und miteinander verbunden sind. Dabei weist jeder Resonanzboden jeweils eine nach außen weisende Vorderseite und eine nach innen gerichtete Rückseite auf, wobei der jeweilige Resonanzboden im Wesentlichen flächig ausgebildet ist. Auf der Rückseite des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens sind quer zur Längs- oder Symmetrieachse verlaufende Rippen angeordnet, die sich im Wesentlichen über die Breite des Resonanzbodens erstrecken, wobei der jeweilige Resonanzboden mittels der Rippen quer zur Längsachse nach außen gewölbt wird, und wobei der Abstand der Rippen zueinander entlang der Längs- oder Symmetrieachse des Resonanzbodens zunimmt. Weiterhin ist an dem jeweiligen Resonanzboden ein Steg vorgesehen, wobei die Stege einander gegenüberliegend am jeweiligen Resonanzboden angeordnet sind, und wobei auf der dem gegenüberliegenden Resonanzboden zugewandten Oberfläche des jeweiligen Steges zumindest eine Erregereinrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei der Steg frei von Schalldurchtrittsöffnungen ausgebildet ist. D.h. der Steg weist keine Öffnungen auf. Die Schwingungserregung des jeweiligen flächig ausgebildeten Resonanzbodens erfolgt durch die jeweilige Erregereinrichtung. Durch die Verbindung der beiden im Aufbau identischen Resonanzkörper miteinander bilden diese zusätzlich zu ihren jeweils schwingenden Flächen einen Klangkörper aus. Durch die Ausbildung des Klangkörpers bekommen Tieftonfrequenzen einen Raum und klingen voller und wärmer. Durch die in gleicher Weise erfolgende Anregung der beiden Resonanzböden wird das Klangvolumen zusätzlich erhöht. Dabei können die beiden Resonanzböden miteinander lösbar oder unlösbar verbunden sein. Durch den zunehmenden Abstand der Anordnung der Rippen zueinander entlang der Längs- oder Symmetrieachse des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens von oben nach unten werden auf dem jeweiligen Resonanzboden unterschiedliche Bereiche geschaffen, die für verschiedene Frequenzen besser erregbar sind. Ein geringer Abstand der Rippen verbessert die Anregung bei hohen Frequenzen, während ein größerer Abstand die Erregung bei tiefen Frequenzen begünstigt. Das Klangbild lässt sich durch eine geeignete Wahl der Abstände der Rippen variieren.According to claim 1, a loudspeaker system is proposed which comprises two soundboards which are arranged opposite one another and connected to one another. Each soundboard has an outwardly pointing front side and an inwardly pointing rear side, the respective soundboard being essentially flat. On the rear side of the respective soundboard, ribs running transversely to the longitudinal or symmetry axis are arranged, which extend essentially over the width of the soundboard extend, wherein the respective soundboard is arched transversely to the longitudinal axis by means of the ribs outward, and wherein the distance between the ribs increases along the longitudinal or symmetry axis of the soundboard. Furthermore, a web is provided on the respective soundboard, the webs being arranged opposite one another on the respective soundboard, and at least one excitation device being arranged on the surface of the respective web facing the opposite soundboard, the web being free of sound passage openings. In other words, the web has no openings. The vibration excitation of the respective flat soundboard is carried out by the respective excitation device. By connecting the two resonance bodies, which are identical in structure, they form a body of sound in addition to their respective vibrating surfaces. Through the formation of the sound body, low-frequency frequencies get a space and sound fuller and warmer. The sound volume is additionally increased by stimulating the two soundboards in the same way. The two soundboards can be connected to one another in a detachable or non-detachable manner. Due to the increasing spacing of the arrangement of the ribs from one another along the longitudinal or symmetry axis of the respective soundboard from top to bottom, different areas are created on the respective soundboard, which are better excitable for different frequencies. A small distance between the ribs improves the excitation at high frequencies, while a larger distance favors the excitation at low frequencies. The sound can be varied by a suitable choice of the distance between the ribs.

Insbesondere kann der jeweilige Resonanzboden einen Materialstärkenverlauf aufweisen, der korrespondierend mit dem zunehmenden Abstand der Rippen in Längsrichtung des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens abnimmt. Der sich in Richtung der Längs- oder Symmetrieachse verändernde Materialstärkenverlauf trägt zusätzlich dazu bei, dass im oberen Bereich des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens die Anregung bei hohen Frequenzen verbessert wird, während im unteren Bereich mit abnehmender Materialstärke die Erregung bei tiefen Frequenzen begünstigt wird.In particular, the respective soundboard can have a material thickness profile that decreases correspondingly with the increasing distance between the ribs in the longitudinal direction of the respective soundboard. The change in material thickness in the direction of the longitudinal or symmetry axis also helps to improve the excitation at high frequencies in the upper area of the respective soundboard, while in the lower area with decreasing material thickness, excitation at low frequencies is favored.

Bevorzugt kann der jeweilige Steg zwischen Einzelelementen des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens angeordnet sein. Hierbei können die Einzelelemente der Resonanzböden aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Insbesondere können die Einzelelemente des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens aus Karbon oder einem anderen vergleichbaren Werkstoff bestehen. Bevorzugt können die Einzelelemente des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens aus einem Holz, vorzugsweise Nadelholz bestehen. Bei einer Ausführung der Resonanzböden aus Holz, können die Resonanzböden aus einer Vielzahl von parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Einzelelementen bestehen.The respective web can preferably be arranged between individual elements of the respective soundboard. The individual elements of the soundboards can consist of different materials. In particular, the individual elements of the respective soundboard can consist of carbon or another comparable material. The individual elements of the respective soundboard can preferably consist of a wood, preferably softwood. If the soundboards are made of wood, the soundboards can consist of a large number of individual elements arranged parallel to one another.

Alternativ kann der jeweilige Steg auf der Vorderseite oder der Rückseite des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens angeordnet sein. Bei einer Anordnung des jeweiligen Steges auf der Rückseite des Resonanzbodens kann vorgesehen sein, dass die im Wesentlichen quer zum Steg verlaufenden Rippen mit Aussparungen versehen sind, durch die der durchgehende Steg hindurchführbar ist.Alternatively, the respective web can be arranged on the front or the rear of the respective soundboard. In the case of an arrangement of the respective bridge on the rear side of the soundboard, provision can be made for the ribs running essentially transversely to the bridge to be provided with recesses through which the continuous bridge can be passed.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung kann die Ansteuerung der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung an dem einen Resonanzboden gegenüber der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung an dem gegenüberliegenden Resonanzboden phasenverschoben erfolgen. Hierdurch kann das Klangvolumen zusätzlich erhöht werden, da mögliche Interferenzen hierdurch vermieden werden können. Im einfachsten Fall kann der Anschluss der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung des einen Resonanzbodens an eine Signalquelle mit umgekehrter Polarität erfolgen. Denkbar ist aber auch, dass die Signalquelle dazu eingerichtet ist, eine Umschaltung der Polarität vorzunehmen.According to a preferred development, the activation of the at least one excitation device on the one soundboard can take place out of phase with respect to the at least one excitation device on the opposite soundboard. In this way, the volume of the sound can be increased as possible interference can be avoided. In the simplest case, the connection of the at least one excitation device of one soundboard to a signal source can take place with reversed polarity. However, it is also conceivable that the signal source is set up to switch the polarity.

Des Weiteren kann der jeweilige Steg aus einem Hartholz bestehen. Dabei kann der Steg zwischen den Einzelelementen des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens angeordnet sein. Besonders bevorzugt kann der jeweilige Steg im Wesentlichen mittig am oder im Resonanzboden angeordnet sein. Der Steg kann einen gleichen Materialstärkenverlauf wie der Resonanzboden aufweisen, an welchem der Steg angeordnet ist. Bei einer Anordnung im Resonanzboden ist der Steg zwischen den Einzelelementen angeordnet. Somit schließt der Steg mit den Oberflächen der benachbarten Einzelelemente bündig ab. Bei einer Anordnung auf der Vorderseite des Resonanzbodens ist dieser auf dem Resonanzboden fixiert. Der Steg sorgt für eine gute Schallübertragung von der Erregereinrichtung auf sowie eine gute und gleichmäßige Schallausbreitung über den Resonanzboden.Furthermore, the respective web can consist of a hardwood. The web can be arranged between the individual elements of the respective soundboard. Particularly preferably, the respective bridge can be arranged essentially centrally on or in the soundboard. The bridge can have the same material thickness as the soundboard on which the bridge is arranged. In the case of an arrangement in the soundboard, the bridge is arranged between the individual elements. Thus, the web is flush with the surfaces of the adjacent individual elements. When placed on the front of the soundboard is this is fixed on the soundboard. The bridge ensures good sound transmission from the excitation device to as well as good and even sound propagation over the soundboard.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Rippen eine gewölbte Anlagefläche aufweisen, mit welcher die Rippen formschlüssig an der Rückseite des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens anliegen. Die Rippen tragen zur Wölbung des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens bei und erzeugen eine Spannung in dem Resonanzboden. Die sich über den Steg erstreckenden Rippen unterstützen die Schallübertragung von der Erregereinrichtung auf sowie die Schallausbreitung über den Resonanzboden.It is advantageous if the ribs have a curved contact surface with which the ribs rest in a form-fitting manner on the rear side of the respective soundboard. The ribs contribute to the curvature of the respective soundboard and create tension in the soundboard. The ribs extending over the web support the transmission of sound from the excitation device to and the propagation of sound over the soundboard.

Die sich senkrecht zur Oberfläche der Resonanzböden erstreckenden Rippen können endseitig Abschnitte mit einer geringeren vertikalen Erstreckung aufweisen als im Mittenabschnitt der Rippen, wobei die Länge des Mittenabschnitts einer Rippe in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Rippe entlang des Verlaufs der Längs- oder Symmetrieachse des Resonanzbodens variiert.The ribs extending perpendicular to the surface of the soundboards can have sections with a smaller vertical extension at the end than in the central section of the ribs, the length of the central section of a rib varying depending on the position of the rib along the course of the longitudinal or symmetry axis of the soundboard.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung können an äußeren Randabschnitten des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens Rahmenelemente angeordnet sein, welche der beabstandeten Verbindung der Resonanzböden dienen. Dabei können die Rahmenelemente im Wesentlichen parallel zur Längs- oder Symmetrieachse des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens verlaufen, wobei sie der Außenkontur des Resonanzbodens im Wesentlichen folgen. Die Rahmenelemente können auch in Übereinstimmung mit den Resonanzböden gerundet gestaltet werden. Die Rahmenelemente tragen zur Stabilität des Resonanzbodens bei. Insbesondere bei einer Ausbildung des Resonanzbodens aus Einzelelementen, die aus Holz bestehen, tragen die Rahmenelemente zu der notwendigen Stabilität im Faserverlauf des Resonanzbodens bei.According to a preferred development, frame elements can be arranged on the outer edge sections of the respective soundboard, which serve to connect the soundboards at a distance. The frame elements can run essentially parallel to the longitudinal or symmetry axis of the respective soundboard, essentially following the outer contour of the soundboard. The frame elements can also be rounded to match the soundboards. The frame elements contribute to the stability of the soundboard. In particular, when the soundboard is constructed from individual elements made of wood, the frame elements contribute to the necessary stability in the grain of the soundboard.

Bevorzugt können die einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten Resonanzböden endseitig durch zumindest ein Deckelelement verschlossen sein. Durch das zumindest eine Deckelelement wird der Klangkörper nach oben hin abgeschlossen, wodurch die Tieftonfrequenzen einen Raum bekommen und voller und wärmer klingen. Alternativ können die Rahmenelemente so ausgebildet sein, dass diese die einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten Resonanzböden endseitig wie ein Deckelelement verschließen.Preferably, the mutually opposing soundboards can be closed at the end by at least one cover element. The sound body is closed at the top by the at least one cover element, so that the bass frequencies get a space and sound fuller and warmer. Alternatively, the frame elements can be designed in such a way that they close the opposing soundboards at the end like a cover element.

Insbesondere können zwischen den Resonanzböden quer zur Längsachse der Resonanzböden verlaufende Spannelemente vorgesehen sein, die endseitig an den Spannelementen angeordnete Halteelemente aufweisen, die sich außenseitig an den Resonanzböden abstützen. Die stangenförmigen Spannelemente können mittels der Haltelemente Druckkräfte auf die Rahmenelemente sowie die Resonanzböden übertragen. Die von den Halteelementen ausgeübten Druckkräfte erhöhen die innere Spannung der Resonanzböden. Daraus resultiert ein größeres Klangvolumen, welches als Lautstärkezuwachs wahrnehmbar ist. Zudem kann dadurch verhindert werden, dass es im Bereich tiefer Frequenzen zu unerwünschten Überresonanzen kommt, die als störende Vibrationen wahrnehmbar sind. Dabei ist weiterhin denkbar, dass die Spannelemente derart ausgebildet sind, dass ein Nachjustieren ermöglicht wird, um die auf die Rahmenelemente sowie die Resonanzböden übertragenen Druckkräfte anzupassen.In particular, tensioning elements running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the soundboards can be provided between the soundboards, which have holding elements arranged at the ends on the tensioning elements, which are supported on the outside of the soundboards. The rod-shaped clamping elements can transfer pressure forces to the frame elements and the soundboards by means of the holding elements. The compressive forces exerted by the retaining elements increase the internal tension of the soundboards. This results in a larger volume of sound, which can be perceived as an increase in volume. In addition, this can prevent undesired over-resonances in the range of lower frequencies, which can be perceived as disruptive vibrations. It is furthermore conceivable that the clamping elements are designed in such a way that readjustment is made possible in order to adapt the pressure forces transmitted to the frame elements and the soundboard.

Zudem kann zwischen den Resonanzböden an zumindest einem Punkt der höchsten Wölbung der Resonanzböden auf der Längsachse ein zusätzliches Spannelement angebracht sein, welches eine Druck- bzw. Zugkraft zwischen den Resonanzböden erzeugt. Dieses zusätzliche Spannelement kann ergänzend zur Feinjustage der von den stangenförmigen Spannelementen hervorgerufenen Spannungen vorgesehen sein.In addition, an additional tensioning element can be attached between the soundboards at at least one point of the highest curvature of the soundboards on the longitudinal axis, which creates a compressive or tensile force between the soundboards. This additional tensioning element can be provided in addition to the fine adjustment of the tensions caused by the rod-shaped tensioning elements.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung kann zur Anordnung der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung auf dem jeweiligen Steg jeweils ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiges Aufnahmeelement vorgesehen sein, welches in Umfangsrichtung verteilt angeordnete Stifte aufweist, die sich koaxial zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeelementes erstrecken. Mittels der Stifte wird das Aufnahmeelement auf dem Steg befestigt. Die Stifte können das Aufnahmeelement im Steg verankern. Dabei kann zur Anbringung vorgesehen sein, die Position der Stifte auf den Steg zu übertragen und an diesen Stellen vorzubohren. Dabei sollte der Durchmesser der Vorbohrungen kleiner als der Stiftdurchmesser sein. Somit lässt sich ein Reibschluss zwischen Steg und Stiften für einen festen Sitz des Aufnahmeelementes bewirken. Das ringförmige Aufnahmeelement kann in der Höhe variieren. Durch das Aufnahmeelement ist die Erregereinrichtung beabstandet zum Steg bzw. zum Resonanzboden angeordnet.According to a preferred development, a substantially annular receiving element can be provided for the arrangement of the at least one excitation device on the respective web, which has pins arranged distributed in the circumferential direction, which extend coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the receiving element. The receiving element is attached to the web by means of the pins. The pins can anchor the receiving element in the web. For attachment, the position of the pins can be transferred to the web and at these points pre-drilling. The diameter of the pilot holes should be smaller than the pin diameter. In this way, a frictional connection between the web and pins can be brought about for a tight fit of the receiving element. The annular receiving element can vary in height. Due to the receiving element, the excitation device is arranged at a distance from the bridge or the soundboard.

Hierbei kann das Aufnahmeelement mit einem im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Aufnahmeabschnitt versehen sein, der eine Fläche aufweist, welche der Auflagefläche der Erregereinrichtung entspricht. Der Aufnahmeabschnitt kann als ein Ring aus Metall, Holz, Kunststoff oder Karbon ausgeführt sein. Dabei kann das Aufnahmeelement in Abhängigkeit vom verwendeten Material die Funktion eines Frequenzfilters übernehmen. Bei einer Verwendung unterschiedlicher Materialien für den Aufnahmeabschnitt lässt sich der Frequenzgang im Bereich der hohen und tiefen Frequenzen beeinflussen. Dies ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn mehr als eine Erregereinrichtung auf dem jeweiligen Steg eines Resonanzbodens angeordnet wird.In this case, the receiving element can be provided with an essentially annular receiving section which has a surface which corresponds to the contact surface of the excitation device. The receiving section can be designed as a ring made of metal, wood, plastic or carbon. Depending on the material used, the receiving element can assume the function of a frequency filter. When using different materials for the recording section, the frequency response in the range of high and low frequencies can be influenced. This is particularly advantageous when more than one excitation device is arranged on the respective web of a soundboard.

Weiterhin können die aus einem Metall bestehenden Stifte eine Länge aufweisen, so dass die Stifte in montierter Position des Aufnahmeelements zumindest abschnittsweise in den Steg eindringen. Durch das zumindest abschnittsweise Eindringen der Stifte in den Steg wird eine Verankerung des Aufnahmeelements erreicht. Darüber hinaus kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Stifte den Steg durchdringen, so dass die Enden der Stifte mit der Außenseite des Steges abschließen. Bei einer Länge, die über die Materialstärke des Steges hinausgeht, können die überstehenden Enden der Stifte in der Weise entfernt werden, dass sie im Wesentlichen bündig mit der Oberfläche abschließen. Vorteilhaft an dieser Art der Anbringung der Erregereinrichtung mittels des Aufnahmeelementes ist, dass gerade die hohen Frequenzen auf die Außenseite, d.h. die jeweilige Vorderseite der Resonanzböden, durch das Aufnahmeelement transportiert werden. Dadurch entsteht ein direkterer Zugang zur gehörten Musik. Der Effekt, dass die Klangquelle, d.h. die Erregereinrichtung, sich eingeschlossen im Inneren des Lautsprechersystems befindet, welches keine Schallaustrittsöffnung aufweist, wird dadurch weitestgehend aufgehoben.Furthermore, the pins made of a metal can have a length so that the pins penetrate at least in sections into the web in the mounted position of the receiving element. Anchoring of the receiving element is achieved by the pins penetrating at least in sections into the web. In addition, it can be provided that the pins penetrate the web, so that the ends of the pins are flush with the outside of the web. In the case of a length that exceeds the material thickness of the web, the protruding ends of the pins can be removed in such a way that they are essentially flush with the surface. The advantage of this type of attachment of the excitation device by means of the receiving element is that precisely the high frequencies are transported to the outside, ie the respective front side of the soundboards, through the receiving element. This creates a more direct access to the music being heard. The effect that the sound source, ie the excitation device, is enclosed in the interior of the loudspeaker system, which has no sound outlet opening, is thereby largely canceled out.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass in dem jeweiligen Steg der Anzahl der zu montierenden Erregereinrichtungen entsprechend einzelne Segmente ausgespart werden, in welche vorgefertigte Stegsegmente einsetzbar sind, auf denen die Aufnahmeelemente in einem vorangehenden Fertigungsschritt angeordnet wurden. Hierdurch kann die Positionierung der Aufnahmeelemente unabhängig von der Herstellung der Resonanzböden zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgen. Die Stegsegmente können aus dem gleichen Material sein wie der Steg. Denkbar ist aber auch, sie aus einem anderen Werkstoff herzustellen, wie z. B. Holz, Kunststoff oder Karbon. Die Erregereinrichtungen können sowohl vor als auch nach dem Einsetzen der vorgefertigten Stegsegmente an den jeweiligen Aufnahmeelementen befestigt werden. Dabei können sowohl das Fixieren der vorgefertigten Stegsegmente in den Stegen als auch das Befestigen der Erregereinrichtungen vorzugsweise durch eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung erfolgen.According to an advantageous development, it can be provided that in the respective web the number of excitation devices to be mounted, individual segments are cut out, in which prefabricated web segments can be inserted, on which the receiving elements were arranged in a previous manufacturing step. In this way, the positioning of the receiving elements can take place at a later point in time independently of the production of the soundboards. The web segments can be made of the same material as the web. But it is also conceivable to make them from another material, such as. B. wood, plastic or carbon. The excitation devices can be attached to the respective receiving elements both before and after the insertion of the prefabricated web segments. Both the fixing of the prefabricated web segments in the webs and the fastening of the excitation devices can preferably take place by means of an integral connection.

Weiterhin wird erfindungsgemäß eine Anordnung eines Lautsprechersystem nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 13 in einem Hohlraum eines Wandabschnitts von Innenräumen vorgeschlagen, wobei eine Oberfläche auf der Vorderseite des Resonanzbodens zum bündigen Abschluss mit der den Hohlraum begrenzenden Oberfläche des Wandabschnitts durch Mittel zum Höhenausgleich auf ein gleiches Niveau gebracht wird. Dies ermöglicht eine flächenbündige Anordnung beispielsweise in einer Trockenbauwand.Furthermore, according to the invention, an arrangement of a loudspeaker system according to one of claims 1 to 13 in a cavity of a wall section of interior spaces is proposed, a surface on the front side of the soundboard to be flush with the surface of the wall section delimiting the cavity by means for height compensation at the same level is brought. This enables a flush arrangement, for example in a drywall.

Hierzu kann als Mittel zum Höhenausgleich ein Rahmen an der mit der Wandfläche abschließenden Oberfläche des Resonanzbodens angeordnet sein, der die Oberfläche im Punkt der höchsten Wölbung des Resonanzbodens überragt und als Befestigung für ein flächiges Material dient. Als flächiges Material kann eine Folie, ein Gewebe oder ein leichter und in sich stabiler Plattenwerkstoff vorgesehen sein. So kann z.B. mit einem aufschäumenden Kleber und nach außen abschließend, beispielsweise mit einer Glasfasertapete auf einer ebenen Oberfläche, der Höhenunterschied, der durch die Wölbung des Resonanzbodens besteht, ausgeglichen werden.For this purpose, a frame can be arranged as a means for height compensation on the surface of the soundboard closing with the wall surface, which frame projects beyond the surface at the point of the highest curvature of the soundboard and serves as a fastening for a flat material. A film, a fabric or a light and inherently stable panel material can be provided as the flat material. For example, with a foaming adhesive and finally with a glass fiber wallpaper on a flat surface, the difference in height caused by the curvature of the soundboard can be leveled out.

Das Lautsprechersystem ermöglicht den Betrieb als ein Monolautsprechersystem, indem dem einzelnen Lautsprechersystem die von einer Signalquelle kommenden Stereosignale des linken Kanals der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung des einen Resonanzbodens und das Stereosignal des rechten Kanals der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung des gegenüberliegenden Resonanzbodens zugeführt werden. Sind mehrere Erregereinrichtungen auf dem jeweiligen Steg angeordnet, so sind diese, je nach Leistung der Signalquelle, in Reihe oder parallel geschaltet. Die Ansteuerung des einen Kanals in Beziehung zu dem anderen Kanal erfolgt phasenverschoben. Beispielsweise kann hierfür eine Umkehrung der Anschlusspolarität vorgesehen sein.The loudspeaker system enables operation as a mono loudspeaker system in that the stereo signals from a signal source of the left channel of the at least one excitation device of one soundboard and the stereo signal of the right channel of the at least one excitation device of the opposite soundboard are fed to the individual loudspeaker system. If several excitation devices are arranged on the respective web, they are connected in series or in parallel, depending on the power of the signal source. The control of one channel in relation to the other channel is out of phase. For example, a reversal of the connection polarity can be provided for this.

Alternativ kann der Betrieb als Stereolautsprechersystem vorgesehen sein, indem zwei erfindungsgemäße Lautsprechersysteme vorgesehen sind, die von einer gemeinsamen Signalquelle angesteuert werden. Dabei werden in dem einen Lautsprechersystem die von der Signalquelle kommenden Stereosignale des linken Kanals den Erregereinrichtungen beider Resonanzböden zugeführt und in dem zweiten Lautsprechersystem die von der Signalquelle kommenden Stereosignale des rechten Kanals den Erregereinrichtungen beider Resonanzböden. Dabei erfolgt die Ansteuerung der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung des einen Resonanzbodens gegenüber der zumindest einen Erregereinrichtung des gegenüberliegenden Resonanzbodens des jeweiligen Lautsprechersystems ebenfalls phasenverschoben.Alternatively, operation as a stereo loudspeaker system can be provided in that two loudspeaker systems according to the invention are provided, which are controlled by a common signal source. In one speaker system, the stereo signals of the left channel coming from the signal source are fed to the excitation devices of both soundboards and in the second speaker system the stereo signals of the right channel coming from the signal source are fed to the excitation devices of both soundboards. The activation of the at least one excitation device of the one soundboard is also out of phase with respect to the at least one excitation device of the opposite soundboard of the respective loudspeaker system.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Ansicht eines Lautsprechersystems 1 von schräg vorne dargestellt. Das Lautsprechersystems 1 umfasst zwei Resonanzböden 2 die einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet und miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Resonanzböden 2 sind identisch aufgebaut, so dass die nachstehende Beschreibung des einen Resonanzbodens 2 auch für den anderen Resonanzboden 2 Gültigkeit hat. Mit V ist die jeweilige Vorderseite des Resonanzbodens 2 bezeichnet, mit R wird nachfolgend die innenliegende Rückseite des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2 bezeichnet. An einem als Oberseite bezeichneten Ende der einander gegenüberliegenden Resonanzböden 2 ist ein Deckelelement 3 vorgesehen, welches das Lautsprechersystems 1 endseitig verschließt. Weiterhin zeigt die Darstellung in Fig. 1 einen Steg 4, welcher zwischen zumindest zwei Einzelelementen 5 des Resonanzbodens 2 angeordnet ist. Die Oberflächen von Steg 4 und den benachbarten Einzelelementen 5 des Resonanzbodens 2 schließen bündig miteinander ab, so dass sich eine im Wesentlichen ebene Außenfläche auf der Vorderseite V des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2 ausbildet. Die Außenflächen der Resonanzböden 2 sind nach außen gewölbt ausgebildet. Dem Lautsprechersystem 1 werden Signale einer Signalquelle mittels zweier paarweise angeordneter Signalleitungen 22a, 22b und 23a, 23b zugeführt. Die positive und negative Polarität der Signalleitungen 22a und 23b bzw. 22b und 23a wird durch ein Pluszeichen und ein Minuszeichen verdeutlicht.In Fig. 1 is a view of a speaker system 1 shown obliquely from the front. The loudspeaker system 1 comprises two soundboards 2 which are arranged opposite one another and connected to one another. The two soundboards 2 are constructed identically so that the following description of one soundboard 2 also applies to the other soundboard 2. The respective front side of the soundboard 2 is designated by V, and the inner rear side of the respective soundboard 2 is designated below by R. At one end of the mutually opposite soundboard 2, referred to as the top, a cover element 3 is provided which closes the loudspeaker system 1 at the end. The representation in Fig. 1 a web 4 which is arranged between at least two individual elements 5 of the soundboard 2. The surfaces of the bridge 4 and the adjacent individual elements 5 of the soundboard 2 are flush with one another, so that an essentially flat outer surface is formed on the front side V of the respective soundboard 2. The outer surfaces of the soundboards 2 are curved outwards. Signals from a signal source are fed to the loudspeaker system 1 by means of two signal lines 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b arranged in pairs. The positive and negative polarity of the signal lines 22a and 23b or 22b and 23a is indicated by a plus sign and a minus sign.

Die Darstellung in Fig. 2 zeigt eine Explosionsansicht eines der Resonanzböden 2 des Lautsprechersystems 1. Die Einzelelemente 5 des Resonanzbodens 1 bestehen insbesondere aus Holz, bevorzugt aus einem Nadelholz, welches sich durch ein gutes Schwingungsverhalten auszeichnet. Dazu ist eine Vielzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Einzelelementen 5 vorgesehen, die miteinander verleimt sind. Die Einzelelemente 5 sind derart angeordnet, dass ein im Wesentlichen einheitlicher Faserverlauf in Längsrichtung des Resonanzbodens 2 entsteht. Alternativ können die zumindest zwei Einzelelemente 5 aus einem anderen Material, wie beispielsweise Karbon, bestehen. Zwischen den Einzelelementen 5 ist der Steg 4 angeordnet.The representation in Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of one of the soundboards 2 of the loudspeaker system 1. The individual elements 5 of the soundboard 1 consist in particular made of wood, preferably made of a softwood, which is characterized by good vibration behavior. For this purpose, a plurality of individual elements 5 arranged next to one another is provided, which are glued together. The individual elements 5 are arranged in such a way that a substantially uniform fiber course is created in the longitudinal direction of the soundboard 2. Alternatively, the at least two individual elements 5 can consist of a different material, such as, for example, carbon. The web 4 is arranged between the individual elements 5.

Auf der Rückseite R des Resonanzbodens 2 sind quer zur Längs- oder Symmetrieachse 11 verlaufende, bogenförmige Rippen 6 angeordnet, die sich im Wesentlichen über die Breite des Resonanzbodens 2 erstrecken. Mittels der Rippen 6 wird der Resonanzboden 2 quer zur Symmetrie- bzw. Längsachse 12 nach außen gewölbt. Die Rippen 6 bestehen aus einem Nadelholz. Die Anordnung der Rippen 6 erfolgt winkelrecht zum Faserverlauf des Resonanzbodens 2, wenn die Einzelelemente 5 aus Holz gefertigt sind. Zum Wölben des Resonanzbodens 2 weisen die jeweiligen Rippen 6 eine gewölbte Anlagefläche 7 auf, mit welcher die Rippen 6 formschlüssig an der Oberfläche der Rückseite R des Resonanzbodens 2 anliegen.On the rear side R of the soundboard 2, arcuate ribs 6 running transversely to the longitudinal or symmetry axis 11 are arranged, which extend essentially over the width of the soundboard 2. By means of the ribs 6, the soundboard 2 is arched outwards transversely to the symmetry or longitudinal axis 12. The ribs 6 are made of a softwood. The arrangement of the ribs 6 takes place at right angles to the grain of the soundboard 2 when the individual elements 5 are made of wood. In order to arch the soundboard 2, the respective ribs 6 have a curved contact surface 7 with which the ribs 6 rest in a form-fitting manner on the surface of the rear side R of the soundboard 2.

An äußeren Randabschnitten des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2 sind Rahmenelemente 12 angeordnet, welche der beabstandeten Verbindung der Resonanzböden 2 dienen. Die beiden Rahmenelemente 12 erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Längsachse 11 des Resonanzbodens 2. Die Rahmenelemente 12 am äußeren Rand des Resonanzbodens 2 bewirken die notwendige Stabilität im Faserverlauf des insbesondere aus Holz gefertigten Resonanzbodens 2. Die Höhe der einander gegenüberliegenden Rahmenelemente 12 des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2 sorgt für den nötigen Abstand der beiden Resonanzböden 2 zueinander.Frame elements 12, which serve to connect the soundboards 2 at a distance, are arranged on the outer edge sections of the respective soundboard 2. The two frame elements 12 extend essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 11 of the soundboard 2. The frame elements 12 on the outer edge of the soundboard 2 bring about the necessary stability in the grain of the soundboard 2, which is made in particular of wood. The height of the opposing frame elements 12 of the respective soundboard 2 ensures the necessary distance between the two soundboards 2.

Weiterhin sind zwischen den Resonanzböden 2 quer zur Längsachse 11 der Resonanzböden 2 verlaufende Spannelemente 8 vorgesehen, die endseitig angeordnete Halteelemente 9 aufweisen, welche sich außenseitig an den Resonanzböden 2 bzw. den Rahmenelementen 12 abstützen. Die stangenförmigen Spannelemente 8 werden dabei abschnittsweise von halbschalenförmigen Aussparungen 13 in den Rahmenelementen 12 des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2 aufgenommen. Dadurch sind die Spannelemente 8 in montiertem Zustand des Lagersystems 1 zwischen den Resonanzböden 2 formschlüssig eingefasst. Die endseitig angeordneten Halteelemente 9 stützen sich flächig an den Rahmenelementen 12 ab. Die im Inneren des Lautsprechersystems 1 verlaufenden Spannelemente 8 erzeugen durch die Haltelemente 9, die beispielsweise als massive Eisenplatten ausgeführt sein können, von außen Druck auf die Rahmenelemente 12 und die Resonanzböden 2 und erhöhen somit zusätzlich die innere Spannung des jeweiligen Resonanzbodens 2. Zudem kann zwischen den Resonanzböden 2 an zumindest einem Punkt der höchsten Wölbung auf der Längsachse 11 ein Spannelement angebracht sein, welches eine Druck- bzw. Zugkraft zwischen den Resonanzböden 2 erzeugt.Furthermore, tensioning elements 8 running transversely to the longitudinal axis 11 of the soundboards 2 are provided between the soundboards 2, which have holding elements 9 arranged at the ends, which are supported on the outside of the soundboards 2 or the frame elements 12. The rod-shaped clamping elements 8 are received in sections by half-shell-shaped recesses 13 in the frame elements 12 of the respective soundboard 2. Thereby the clamping elements 8 are framed in a form-fitting manner between the soundboards 2 in the assembled state of the storage system 1. The holding elements 9 arranged at the ends are supported flat on the frame elements 12. The tensioning elements 8 running inside the loudspeaker system 1 generate pressure from the outside on the frame elements 12 and the soundboard 2 through the holding elements 9, which can be designed as solid iron plates, for example, and thus additionally increase the internal tension of the respective soundboard 2 A tensioning element can be attached to the soundboards 2 at at least one point of the highest curvature on the longitudinal axis 11, which tension element generates a compressive or tensile force between the soundboards 2.

Auf dem Steg 4, der bevorzugt aus einem Hartholz besteht, ist zumindest eine Erregereinrichtung 10 angeordnet. Der Steg 4 ist dabei frei von Schalldurchtrittsöffnungen ausgebildet. Die Schwingungserregung des jeweiligen im Wesentlichen flächig ausgebildeten Resonanzbodens 2 erfolgt durch die jeweilige Erregereinrichtung 10. Die Ansteuerung der jeweiligen Erregereinrichtung 10 des einen Resonanzbodens 2 kann dabei gegenüber der jeweiligen Erregereinrichtung 10 des gegenüberliegenden, spiegelbildlich angeordneten Resonanzbodens 2 phasenverschoben erfolgen. Dies wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel durch die Umkehr der Anschlusspolarität, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, erreicht.At least one excitation device 10 is arranged on the web 4, which preferably consists of a hardwood. The web 4 is free of sound passage openings. The vibration excitation of the respective, essentially flat soundboard 2 is carried out by the respective excitation device 10. The activation of the respective excitation device 10 of one soundboard 2 can be out of phase with respect to the respective excitation device 10 of the opposite, mirror-inverted soundboard 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is achieved by reversing the connection polarity, as in FIG Fig. 1 indicated, achieved.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Ansicht des komplementären Resonanzbodens 2 des Lautsprechersystems 1 gemäß Fig. 1 in montiertem Zustand dargestellt. Die sich senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Resonanzbodens 2 erstreckenden Rippen 6 weisen endseitig Abschnitte mit einer geringeren vertikalen Erstreckung auf, als im Mittenabschnitt der Rippen 6. Die Länge des Mittenabschnitts einer Rippe 6 variiert in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Rippe 6 in Längsrichtung des Resonanzbodens 2. Der jeweilige Resonanzboden 2 weist einen Materialstärkenverlauf auf, der korrespondierend mit dem zunehmenden Abstand der Rippen 6 in Längsrichtung des Resonanzbodens 2 abnimmt. Die Positionierung der Rippen 6 mit größer werdendem Abstand im Verlauf des Resonanzbodens 2 in dessen Längsrichtung von oben nach unten bildet unterschiedliche Bereiche aus, die für verschiedene Frequenzen besser erregbar sind. Ein geringer Abstand der Rippen 6 zueinander begünstigt die Erregung des Resonanzbodens 6 bei hohen Frequenzen, während ein weiter Abstand der Rippen 6 zueinander für tiefe Frequenzen vorteilhaft ist. Ein Materialstärkenverlauf im Resonanzboden 2 von ca. 9 mm oben bis auf etwa 6 mm unten, unterstützt diesen Aspekt. Der Steg 4 weist einen hiermit korrespondierenden Materialstärkenverlauf auf. Grundsätzlich können der jeweilige Resonanzboden 2 und der an dem jeweiligen Resonanzboden 2 angeordnete Steg 4 aber auch einen konstanten Materialstärkenverlauf aufweisen.In Fig. 3 FIG. 3 is a view of the complementary soundboard 2 of the speaker system 1 of FIG Fig. 1 shown in assembled condition. The ribs 6 extending perpendicular to the surface of the soundboard 2 have ends with sections with a smaller vertical extent than in the middle section of the ribs 6. The length of the middle section of a rib 6 varies depending on the position of the rib 6 in the longitudinal direction of the soundboard 2. The respective soundboard 2 has a material thickness profile which decreases correspondingly with the increasing distance between the ribs 6 in the longitudinal direction of the soundboard 2. The positioning of the ribs 6 with increasing distance in the course of the soundboard 2 in its longitudinal direction from top to bottom forms different areas that are better excitable for different frequencies. A a small distance between the ribs 6 favors the excitation of the soundboard 6 at high frequencies, while a wider distance between the ribs 6 is advantageous for low frequencies. A material thickness profile in the soundboard 2 from approx. 9 mm at the top to approx. 6 mm at the bottom supports this aspect. The web 4 has a corresponding material thickness profile. In principle, the respective soundboard 2 and the web 4 arranged on the respective soundboard 2 can also have a constant material thickness profile.

Die Darstellung in Fig. 4 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Resonanzbodens 2 gemäß Fig. 2 mit dem Spannelement 8. Das Halteelement 9 liegt in montierter Position flächig auf den Rahmenelementen 12 auf, so dass von dem stangenförmigen Spannelement 8 Druckkräfte auf die Rahmenelemente 12 bzw. die aneinander liegenden Resonanzböden 2 übertragbar sind, die eine zusätzliche Spannung hervorrufen. Dabei ist es denkbar, dass die Haltelemente 9 auf dem Spannelement 8 mittels eines Gewindeabschnitts nachjustierbar ausgeführt sind.The representation in Fig. 4 shows a detailed view of the soundboard 2 according to FIG Fig. 2 with the clamping element 8. The holding element 9 rests flat on the frame elements 12 in the assembled position, so that compressive forces can be transmitted from the rod-shaped clamping element 8 to the frame elements 12 or the adjacent soundboards 2, which cause additional tension. It is conceivable that the holding elements 9 are designed to be readjustable on the clamping element 8 by means of a threaded section.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Explosionsansicht des Steges 4 mit einem im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Aufnahmeelement 16 und der im Inneren des Lautsprechersystems 1 positionierten Erregereinrichtung 10 dargestellt. Der Steg 4 ist zur vereinfachten Aufnahme der jeweiligen Erregereinrichtung 10 mit einem Ausschnitt 14 versehen. In den Ausschnitt 14 wird ein Stegsegment 15 formschlüssig eingesetzt, welches der Aufnahme eines Aufnahmeelementes 16 dient und die Oberfläche des Steges 4 vollständig verschließt. Das einzusetzende Stegsegment 15 besteht aus dem gleichen Material wie der Steg 4. Alternativ kann auf den Ausschnitt 14 des Steges 4 verzichtet werden. In diesem Fall wird das Aufnahmeelement 16 unmittelbar auf dem Steg 4 befestigt. Die Anbringung des Aufnahmeelementes 16 erfolgt dabei in nahezu identischer Weise.In Fig. 5 an exploded view of the web 4 with a substantially annular receiving element 16 and the excitation device 10 positioned in the interior of the loudspeaker system 1 is shown. The web 4 is provided with a cutout 14 for the simplified reception of the respective excitation device 10. In the cutout 14, a web segment 15 is positively inserted, which serves to receive a receiving element 16 and completely closes the surface of the web 4. The web segment 15 to be used consists of the same material as the web 4. Alternatively, the cutout 14 of the web 4 can be dispensed with. In this case, the receiving element 16 is fastened directly on the web 4. The attachment of the receiving element 16 takes place in an almost identical manner.

Das Aufnahmeelement 16 ist mit einem im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Abschnitt 17 versehen. An dem ringförmigen Abschnitt 17 sind sich koaxial zur Längsachse 20 des Aufnahmeelementes 16 erstreckende Stifte 18 angeordnet. Die Stifte 18 sind im Wesentlichen gleichmäßig über den Umfang des Aufnahmeelementes 16 verteilt angeordnet. Die aus einem Metall bestehenden Stifte 18 weisen eine Länge auf, die zumindest der Materialstärke des Steges 4 an der jeweiligen Stelle entsprechen, an der das Aufnahmeelement 16 montiert ist.The receiving element 16 is provided with an essentially annular section 17. Pins 18 extending coaxially to the longitudinal axis 20 of the receiving element 16 are arranged on the annular section 17. The pins 18 are arranged distributed essentially uniformly over the circumference of the receiving element 16. The pins 18 made of a metal have a length which corresponds at least to the material thickness of the web 4 at the respective point at which the receiving element 16 is mounted.

Der ringförmige Abschnitt 17 weist eine Fläche auf, welche einer stirnseitigen Auflagefläche 21 der Erregereinrichtung 10 entspricht. Bevorzugt wird die Erregereinrichtung 10 durch Verkleben mit dem ringförmigen Abschnitt 17 des Aufnahmeelementes 16 unlösbar verbunden. Das jeweilige Stegsegment 15 ist mit einer der Anzahl der Stifte 18 des Aufnahmeelementes 16 entsprechenden Anzahl von Durchgangsbohrungen 19 versehen. Der Durchmesser der Durchgangsbohrungen 19 ist kleiner gewählt als der Durchmesser der Stifte 18. Somit lässt sich ein Reibschluss zwischen dem Stegsegment 15 und den Stiften 18 für einen festen Sitz des Aufnahmeelementes 16 bewirken. Der ringförmige Abschnitt 17 des Aufnahmeelementes 16 hat eine Höhe von etwa 0,5 cm bis 1 cm, besonders bevorzugt 0, 6 cm bis 0,8 cm.The annular section 17 has a surface which corresponds to an end-side support surface 21 of the excitation device 10. The excitation device 10 is preferably permanently connected to the annular section 17 of the receiving element 16 by gluing. The respective web segment 15 is provided with a number of through bores 19 corresponding to the number of pins 18 of the receiving element 16. The diameter of the through bores 19 is selected to be smaller than the diameter of the pins 18. Thus, a frictional connection between the web segment 15 and the pins 18 can be brought about for a tight fit of the receiving element 16. The annular section 17 of the receiving element 16 has a height of approximately 0.5 cm to 1 cm, particularly preferably 0.6 cm to 0.8 cm.

Die Stifte 4 weisen eine Länge auf, in der sie in auf dem Steg 4 montierter Position des Aufnahmeelements 16 zumindest abschnittsweise in den Steg 4 eindringen. Dadurch, dass die Länge der Stifte 18 zumindest der Materialstärke des Steges 4 entspricht, wird erreicht, dass die freien Enden der Stifte 18 mit der außenseitigen Oberfläche des Steges 4 abschließen. Bei einer Länge der Stifte 18, die über die Materialstärke des Steges 4 hinausgeht, werden die überstehenden Enden der Stifte 18 in der Weise entfernt, dass sie im Wesentlichen bündig mit der umgebenden Oberfläche abschließen. Vorteilhaft an dieser Art der Anbringung der Erregereinrichtung 10 mittels des Aufnahmeelementes 16 ist, dass gerade die hohen Frequenzen auf die Außenseite, d.h. jeweilige Vorderseite V, der Resonanzböden 2 transportiert werden. Dadurch entsteht ein direkterer Zugang zur gehörten Musik. Der Effekt, dass die Erregereinrichtung 10 sich im Inneren des Lautsprechersystems 1 befindet, wird weitestgehend aufgehoben.The pins 4 have a length in which they penetrate at least in sections into the web 4 when the receiving element 16 is mounted on the web 4. Because the length of the pins 18 corresponds at least to the material thickness of the web 4, it is achieved that the free ends of the pins 18 are flush with the outside surface of the web 4. If the length of the pins 18 exceeds the material thickness of the web 4, the protruding ends of the pins 18 are removed in such a way that they are essentially flush with the surrounding surface. The advantage of this type of attachment of the excitation device 10 by means of the receiving element 16 is that precisely the high frequencies are transferred to the outside, i.e. respective front side V, the soundboards 2 are transported. This creates a more direct access to the music being heard. The effect that the excitation device 10 is located inside the loudspeaker system 1 is largely canceled out.

In Fig. 6 ist eine Seitenansicht des Steges 4 mit dem darauf montierten Aufnahmeelement 16 gemäß Fig. 5 dargestellt. Die auf das Aufnahmeelement 16 aufgeklebte Erregereinrichtung 10 überträgt die Schwingungen unmittelbar durch den ringförmigen Abschnitt 17 sowie die Stifte 18 auf das Stegsegment 15 bzw. den Steg 4. Die Montage des Aufnahmeelementes 16 auf ein vorgefertigtes Stegsegment 15, hat den Vorteil, dass das Verkleben der Erregereinrichtung 10 unabhängig vom Bau der Resonanzböden 2 durchführbar ist. Die Position der Aufnahmeelemente 16 und der daran befestigten Erregereinrichtungen 10 auf dem jeweiligen Steg 4 der Resonanzböden 2 kann zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt festlegt werden, wobei die Anbringung dann zeitsparend mit Holzleim erfolgen kann.In Fig. 6 FIG. 14 is a side view of the web 4 with the receiving element 16 according to FIG Fig. 5 shown. The exciter device 10 glued to the receiving element 16 transmits the vibrations directly through the annular section 17 and the pins 18 to the web segment 15 or the web 4 Mounting the receiving element 16 on a prefabricated web segment 15 has the advantage that the excitation device 10 can be glued independently of the construction of the soundboard 2. The position of the receiving elements 16 and the exciter devices 10 attached to them on the respective web 4 of the soundboards 2 can be determined at a later point in time, in which case the attachment can then take place with wood glue in a time-saving manner.

Fig.7 zeigt eine Teilansicht des Steges gemäß Fig. 6 von schräg vorne. Die Oberfläche des Stegsegmentes 15 schließt bündig mit der Oberfläche des Steges 4 ab. Die Stifte 18 werden, falls erforderlich, entsprechend eingekürzt, so dass deren Enden ebenfalls nahezu bündig mit der Oberfläche des Stegsegmentes 15 bzw. des Steges 4 abschließen. Fig. 7 shows a partial view of the web according to Fig. 6 from diagonally in front. The surface of the web segment 15 is flush with the surface of the web 4. The pins 18 are shortened accordingly, if necessary, so that their ends are also almost flush with the surface of the web segment 15 or of the web 4.
