  • the MU bridge is on the top with MU metal coated grid-shaped baffle provided and forms one of this wall separate element, so requires special assembly measures.
  • the tapered The shape of the bridge is chosen to be, since it is soundproof Sound radiation behavior of the coaxial sound transducer system as little as possible disturb, why this bridge that sits in the center of the low-mid-range transducer Tweeter covers as little as possible.
  • the MU metal bar is larger Material thickness formed as the coating of the lattice-shaped baffle to a provide optimal radiation dissipation function.
  • This well-known headphone fulfills its radiation dissipation function in the field of Baffle of the headphones is reliable, but requires a complex production.
  • An object of the present invention is a low-radiation headphone to create the type mentioned at the outset, while ensuring optimal Radiation shielding in the area of its baffles can be produced inexpensively.
  • the baffle of each PA housing from one to create grid structure coated with MU metal and the radiation dissipation zone To attach it in the form of a web is provided according to the invention, the Baffle to be made entirely of MU sheet metal in the area of the transducers perforated and otherwise solidly formed or integrated in it, the Radiation dissipation zone in the perforated area of the MU sheet integrally with it is formed.
  • the inventive design of the baffle has the advantage that it provides even better radiation shielding outside the perforated area as a lattice structure coated with MU metal.
  • the one-piece training of the Baffle with the radiation dissipation zone has the advantage of one essential simplified manufacturing technology compared to the previous one explained above low-radiation headphones.
  • the network structure provided can be thickened to provide the radiation dissipation zone be trained.
  • this thickened area is preferably a perforation-free part the otherwise perforated area of the baffle forming the baffle.
  • the radiation dissipation zone is independent of its special training, as such known, formed with a tapered barrel so that they are at the edge of the center of the perforated area is widest and narrowest in the center of this area.
  • the In other words, the contour of the radiation dissipation zone is therefore generally V-shaped Course.
  • This radiation dissipation zone in the form of a to the center of the perforated area of the tapered web is according to an advantageous development Invention extended beyond the perforated area formed thickened to opposite peripheral edge of the MU sheet forming the baffle.
  • This Relatively long, tapered web provides optimized radiation dissipation in the Compared to the relatively short radiation zone, which is from the center to the Edge of the perforated area of the baffle forming the MU sheet, such as explained above.
  • a typical example of such headphones is a ear-tight (small) headphones.
  • a headphone that surrounds the ear
  • the not perforated area of the coaxial transducer arrangement partially covering the The baffle that forms the MU sheet is used to provide optimal front location to lie in the rear area of the respective headphone baffle, based on a use position of the headphones.
  • the solid circular sector of the MU sheet forming the baffle is preferred Semicircular sector with a straight edge along its diameter. This Semicircular sector can also go beyond its straight edge, across it have a massive MU sheet metal area extended towards the front.
  • the Radiation dissipation zone is the massive circular sector of the baffle forming MU sheet provided. In addition, this area can go further be structured so that a web part that runs upwards towards the rear is additionally thickened is formed, as in the ear-enclosing headphones explained above.
  • the baffle of the left sound box is a low radiation Headphones shown schematically in plan view and designated by the reference number 10.
  • These headphones are preferably on-ear Small headphones, the baffle structure in favor of a pre-location by the Sound transducer of the headphones emitted sound events is formed.
  • the baffle structure in favor of a pre-location by the Sound transducer of the headphones emitted sound events is formed.
  • the invention consists of the baffle 10 in one piece from a circular disk-shaped MU sheet with zones of different surface density. The different areal density of the The respective zones serve to optimally pre-position the head of a user on the baffle side to protect electrical and magnetic radiation caused by the transducer system is generated in every sound reinforcement housing if this sound transducer with a Audio signal can be applied without the desired sound emission characteristics affect.
  • the on-ear headphone's transducer is as Coaxial transducer assembly formed with a circular mid-woofer Outline and a tweeter arranged in the center of the same also with circular outline.
  • the location of this coaxial transducer arrangement under that in Fig. 1st baffle 10 is shown schematically with differently blackened areas shown.
  • the bass-midrange system comes under the number 11 designated area, while the tweeter system in the center 12th of area 11 comes to rest.
  • the baffle 10 is in one piece from a circular disk-shaped MU sheet, the zones of different surface density having.
  • An outer annular zone 13 is through the Circular disk outer edge of the baffle 10 and through the circular outer edge of the area 11 defined below which the low-mid-range transducer comes to rest.
  • a circle segment of area 11 is characterized by a greater material thickness than that Circular ring area 13.
  • This reinforced MU material area is defined by the Circular outer edge of the area 11 and a straight boundary line 14, which radially over the entire Surface of the baffle 10 runs and the zones of reinforced material in Forward direction (arrow direction) limited.
  • border line 14 On the other side of border line 14 there is a perforated zone 15, which also has circular sector shape and delimits is on the by the boundary line 14 and on the other hand by the outer edge of the area 11 1 right side of the boundary line 14.
  • the boundary line which is shown in FIG. 1 as a plumb line, can also be around the angle ⁇ run tilted, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1 and with the reference number 14 ' designated.
  • the perforated zone or area 15 is used for targeted sound radiation from the coaxial transducer arrangement in the forward or forward direction with a downward component to promote pre-localization by this Arrangement generated sound events and this perforated area 15 extends over both the front high and low-mid range of the Transducer array.
  • the thickened zone embodies in the back Part of area 12, which is also probably the tweeter as the Woofer transducer of the transducer assembly extends a radiation dissipation zone for electrical and magnetic generated by the sound transducer arrangement in operation Radiation.
  • a derivation of the radiation from the Temporary area of a headphone user achieved.
  • the front perforated area 15 is acoustically permeable and only blocking with respect to those generated by the transducer arrangement electrical and magnetic radiation.
  • Fig. 2 shows a modification of the embodiment of the baffle of Fig. 1, wherein the same parts of this wall are designated by the same reference numerals.
  • a difference in the embodiment of Fig. 2 to that of Fig. 1 is that the Boundary line 14 or its variant 14 'within zones 11 and 13 angled towards from runs and thus defines a perforated area 15 which is upward and rearward is limited by the right-angled course of the boundary line, whereby on the other hand the Reinforced part of area 11 (and 12) in the rear part of the baffle in Direction is extended from, as in the upper part of FIG. 2 by reference numeral 16th shown.
  • This Baffle 10 "partially also covers a coaxial transducer arrangement, the Outer contour is designated by the reference number 17.
