Abstract

The aim of this study was to experimentally investigate the sound quality characteristics, such as sound deflection, sound pressure level and frequency characteristics of a magnetic type speaker in an anechoic chamber to overcome the sound quality and voice-coil temperature problems. To accomplish this, the sound quality performance of the magnetic type speaker was tested according to the magnetic fluid amount and magnetic field intensity. The sound deflection, sound pressure level, and frequency characteristics were measured using the Smarrt program. As a result, at a magnetic fluid amount of 2.4 ml, the sound deflection and the sound pressure level of the magnetic type speaker were enhanced by comparing with those of the general type speaker. The frequency characteristics and the sound pressure level of the magnetic type speaker were enhanced greatly with increasing magnetic field intensity from 8.06 mT to 9.10 mT. In addition, the sound deflection of the magnetic type speaker was 0.01% lower than that of the general type speaker.

본 연구의 목적은 자성유체 스피커의 보이스 코일 방열 및 음질 저하 문제를 극복하기 위하여 무향실내에서 자성유체 스피커의 음 왜곡률, 음압레벨 및 주파수 특성과 같은 음질 성능 특성을 고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 자성유체 스피커에서 자성유체 주입량 및 영구자석 자력을 변화시켜가면서 음압 성능을 측정하였다. 그리고 스피커의 음 왜곡률, 음압레벨 및 주파수 특성은 음향시스템 측정 프로그램인 Smarrt를 이용하여 측정하였다. 결과적으로, 자성유체의 주입량은 2.4 ml로 결정되었고, 자성유체를 주입할 경우 음 왜곡률 및 음압레벨은 향상되었다. 자성유체 스피커에서 영구자석의 자력을 8.06 mT에서 9.10 mT로 증가시킬 경우 주파수 특성 및 음압레벨은 더욱 향상되었다. 또한, 자성유체 스피커의 음 왜곡률은 일반 스피커에 비하여 약 0.01% 감소하였다.
