Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a sound system with at least one loudspeaker box and with at least one amplifier, the via a preferably detachable cable connection is connected to the speaker box.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object Method of operating a mobile or fixed Public address system to indicate that despite different Combinations of amplifiers and speakers always to an optimized system leads without complex measures being taken have to.
  • this object is achieved by that the amplifier in a first step Data on acoustic and / or electrical Loudspeaker parameters by query the speaker box receives and that then, in one second process step, taking the amplifier into account the data or parameters independently for operation with the connected loudspeaker box is configured.
  • the invention lies thus based on the principle that - depending on the connected Loudspeaker - an independent configuration takes place, that is, through the automatic ongoing parameterization become the properties the sound system preferably in electrical as well as in the electro-acoustic area optimized in such a way that the best possible results are achieved can be.
  • Under "amplifier” is in the above Meaning to understand a device that is not only enables reinforcement, but by means of a signal processing electronics on the transmission behavior Can influence.

  • the parameters for example the sound behavior of the loudspeaker can change in the course of aging thus about the configuration of the amplifier Compensation.
  • parameters are Changes in acoustic reproduction properties, the electrical properties and / or the magnetic properties.
  • the configuration checks whether a Operation with several loudspeakers is possible is. If so, so the amplifier receives corresponding data, for example that two speakers are alike or different types in parallel on the Amplifiers are connected. The amplifier checks now based on the data transmitted to him whether this parallel connection of the two boxes possible is, that is, whether an operation can take place without that the amplifier itself or the speakers are at risk and whether the operation is flawless electrical / electroacoustic results leads. The same applies to a series connection of two or more loudspeakers. The In such a case, the amplifier is only by manually entering whether it is a parallel connection or a series connection or around is a mixed circuit, for example the parallel connection of two boxes to which one third box in a row.

  • the configuration circuit can be part of the amplifier be a special assembly of the amplifier or it is possible that this configuration circuit executed as a separate circuit and in the same housing of the amplifier or is housed in an additional housing.
  • the Configuration circuit is capable of evaluate incoming data from the loudspeaker and corresponding influence on the amplifier and / or a signal processing electronics, which is also part of the amplifier can but must not exercise in electrical engineering terms, so that the mentioned optimization of the sound system becomes possible.
  • the cable connection has a speaker cable and a data cable.
  • the low frequency cable is therefore used for control the speaker is electrically isolated from the data cable. This doesn't mean two separate ones Cables are to be laid, but it is quite also possible that the electrical conductor of speaker wire and data cables from a common Coat are surrounded.
  • the cable connection is a speaker cable over which the data is also transmitted will.
  • for data transmission uses the same electrical cables which are also used to control the speaker.
  • a time sharing operation was carried out, that is, it is configured at a time if no control data for the speaker be transferred and vice versa.
  • the electromechanical or can also be electronic in nature can this required switching, namely from the operation of the speaker to the sound system Operation to transfer the data or vice versa make.
  • the data can be electrical or optical Cable (the latter is called fiber) or transmitted wirelessly.
  • a wireless Transmission is particularly suitable for infrared, Radio or ultrasound transmission.
  • the loudspeaker box has an electrical storage unit which Provides data.
  • the storage unit contains information about the characteristics of the loudspeaker, about the type of speaker, about the Serial number of the loudspeaker box, over the operating hours the speaker box, about electrotechnical and / or acoustic parameters of the Loudspeaker and / or via possible service comments and so on, the operator's instructions can give to the operation of the speaker box.
  • the above list is not complete, but other data can also be stored in the be stored.
  • the memory content is speaker-specific Has information that - after Query by the amplifier or by the configuration circuit - cause the Configuration can be done so the amplifier on the connected loudspeaker box is voted.
  • the amplifier can preferably designed as a power amplifier be. Additionally or alternatively, it is also possible that an audio processor is assigned to it.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of one Amplifier 1, which acts as a power amplifier 2 is formed, and a configuration circuit 3 is assigned.
