Abstract

An acoustic playback system including a digital filter; and a plurality of digital modulators each of which output a digital signal to one of a plurality of speakers driven by digital signals having different play back bandwidths; wherein the digital filter converts a digital audio signal which is input into a plurality of digital audio signals of a plurality of frequency bandwidths corresponding to play back bandwidths of the speakers, and outputs each of the digital audio signals of the plurality of frequency bandwidths to one of the plurality of digital modulators; each of the digital modulators outputs the modulated digital signal to the speaker of a play back bandwidth corresponding to a frequency bandwidth of the digital audio signal which is input by performing miss-match shaping after noise shaping to a digital audio signal; and each number of bits of a digital signal of the digital modulators is different.

Claims (14)

1. A speaker box comprising:

a housing having an opening;

a digital speaker being input k number of digital signals and disposed in the opening;

a digital modulation circuit driving the digital speaker formed in the housing, wherein the digital modulation circuit includes a filter converting an input digital audio signal and outputting a digital signal of m bits; and

k number of driving circuits, one part of the digital signal of m bits being input to the k number of driving circuits respectively, and the k number of driving circuits outputting the k number of digital signals to the digital speaker,

wherein the digital modulation circuit further includes a ΔΣ modulation circuit and is disposed in close proximity to the digital speaker,

wherein the digital modulation circuit filters a digital signal of a certain frequency bandwidth from the digital audio signal being input and performs noise shaping and miss match shaping, and

wherein the digital modulation circuit further includes a controller controlling parameters of one or more digital signal processors operable upon a frequency bandwidth filtered by the digital modulation circuit, a noise shaping oversampling rate, and a degree of miss match shaping.

2. The speaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the digital modulation circuit filters a digital signal of a certain frequency bandwidth from the digital audio signal being input and performs noise shaping and miss match shaping, and,

wherein the digital modulation circuit further includes:

a controller controlling parameters of one or more of a frequency bandwidth filtered by the digital modulation circuit, a noise shaping oversampling rate, and a degree of miss match shaping.

3. The speaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the digital modulation circuit is disposed at the rear of the opening of the digital speaker.

4. The speaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the digital signal of m bits is a digital signal of a plurality of values.

5. The speaker box according to claim 4 , wherein the digital signal of a plurality of values is a digital signal of 3 values +1, 0, and −1.
