The key difference in the Rice and Kellogg design was the adjustment of mechanical parameters so that the fundamental resonance of the moving system took place at a lower frequency than that at which the cone's radiation impedance had become uniform. Over this range, the motion of the cone was mass controlled, and the cone looked into a rising radiation impedance. This in effect provided a significant frequency region of flat power response for the design.
A giant-magnetostrictive speaker exhibiting good acoustic characteristics when it is used while being placed on a horizontal surface.
We often give lip service to the fact that audio allows its practitioners to engage in both art and science.
The D2 is unlike traditional speaker technology because it uses a very high powered magnetostrictive smart material as the driver instead of a moving coil. The material was originally developed by the US military for sonar applications and is now de-restricted for commercial use.
The cone-shaped speaker system is 95 mm in diameter and 90 mm high. It features an actuator using a magnetostrictor that extends and shrinks in line with magnetic field changes. The actuator converts input sound into the vibration and conveys it to the tabletop thus rendering sound.
