1 Large Signal Behavior of Micro-speakers by Wolfgang Klippel, KLIPPEL GmbH Institute of Acoustics and Speech Communication Dresden University of Technology ISEAT 2013 Klippel, Modeling of Micro-speakers, 1

2 Scope of the Paper diaphragm coil pole plate magnet backplate microspeakers Which are the dominant nonlinearities? How to verify the new modeling? How to measure those nonlinearities? What kinds of nonlinear symptoms (distortion, compression) are generated? How good is the prediction of those symptoms using the measured nonlinear parameters? What are the consequences for passive transducer design? How important are the nonlinearities for digital systems providing mechanical protection of microspeakers? Klippel, Modeling of Micro-speakers, 3

23 Nonlinear Symptoms of R ms (v) Harmonics in SPL (maximal at resonance f s ) 3rd-order component is larger than 2nd-order distortion decreas by 18dB per octave to lower and higher frequencies Intermodulation decreasing by 6dB/octave Compression of the fundamental at resonance no Xdc component Klippel, Modeling of Micro-speakers, 27

24 Summary variation of the (mechanical) resistance Rms(v) versus velocity is a dominant nonlinearity in microspeakers caused by turbulences in air leaks (disappears in vacuum) contributes significantly to harmonic distortion at resonance (high impact on sound quality) dominant compression of the amplitude at resonance (important for mechanical protection systems) Klippel, Modeling of Micro-speakers, 29
