Improvement of Sound Quality by Means of Ultra-Soft Elastomer for the Gel Type Inertia Driven DML Type Transducer.
Conference Proceeding
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Munoz, J. & Barker, M. (2010)
Improvement of Sound Quality by Means of Ultra-Soft Elastomer for the Gel Type Inertia Driven DML Type Transducer
Unlike standard DML transducers, the gel-type inertia driven transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) designed as a mini woofer DML-type transducer, transf...
A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources.
Conference Proceeding
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Barker, M. & Munoz, J. (2010)
A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources
The gel-type DML transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) excites a panel to radiate sound waves through the gel surround. The panel breaks into different ...
