Abstract

In an electromagnetic induction type speaker apparatus, individual constants are set in such a manner that the following formula is satisfied N ×( R 1 ×R 2 ) 1/2 /( 2 π×L 1 ×( 1− k 2 ) 1/2 >2000 where R 1 is the DC resistance of a primary coil; L 1 is the inductance of the primary coil; N is the number of turns of the primary coil; R 2 is the DC resistance of the secondary coil; L 2 is the inductance of the secondary coil; and k is the coupling coefficient of the primary coil and the secondary coil. In addition, the constants L 1 and l 2 are selected in such a manner that the ratio of the inductance L 1 and the inductance L 2 becomes equal to the ratio of the DC resistance R 1 and the DC resistance R 2.

Claims (9)

1. A speaker apparatus, comprising:

a primary coil arranged on a fixed pole piece and disposed in a vicinity of a gap of a magnetic circuit and to which a current corresponding to an input audio signal is supplied;

a one-turn cylindrical ring forming a secondary coil, arranged on a movable bobbin and disposed in the gap for having induced therein a current corresponding to a current that flows in said primary coil, and being movable relative to said primary coil; and

a vibrating plate attached said bobbin and vibrated by said secondary coil with an interaction of the current induced by said secondary coil and a magnetic flux in the gap,

wherein the following relation is satisfied

L 1 /L 2 =R 1 /R 2

Wherein R 1 is a DC resistance of said primary coil; L 1 is an inductance of said primary coil; R 2 is a DC resistance of said secondary coil; and L 2 is an inductance of said secondary coil.

2. The speaker apparatus as set forth in claim 1 ,

wherein when a coupling coefficient of said primary coil and said secondary coil is equal to 1, a square of the number of turns of said primary coil is equal to a ratio of the DC resistance R 1 of said primary coil and the DC resistance R 2 of said secondary coil.
