Conference of Research Institute of Loudspeaker Systems and Related Technologies

I am heading a small group named "Research Institute of Loudspeaker Systems and Related Technologies(RILSRT)". First conference was held on September 23rd, 2010 in Tokyo. It was open conference to public and anyone who wanted to join was able to join the conference.
Twenty-six people came to present or just to audit the conference.

This is presentation by Mr. Matsu. He is co-founder of this institute.

This huge system is aimed to realize acoustic field using one 12" and two 10" full-range drivers for each channel. Its technology was based on NDR (Non-Dimensional Radiation) System developed by Mr. Kono in Japan. Enclosure type is standard MCAP-CR developed by myself..

Acoustic field was truly wondering. Regenerating chamber orchestra, acoustic field was spread not only forward field but also backward field. Size of violin was small enough and did not spread over while using these drivers. It was amazing work. Everyone who presented liked this system. Problem was that size was too big for personal residence.

This was presentation by Mr. Kato. His work was white triple-pipe. He named this system "Twin-Tower". He used one 3" Tangband driver for each channel. Cabinet was made of mostly around 4" paper-pipe and some PVC pipe. Using 3" driver, this system regenerated powerful but soft low frequency sounds. Playing wood base CD, some ones sighed and told "I have never heard this base. It was really wonderful". This system did not cost much. Total cost excluding his labor was only 30 - 40 US dollar. Enclosure type was also MCAP-CR with four sub-chambers.

I thank Mr. Osawa for his presentation. He was not a member of RILSRT. He developed four-sub-chamber standard MCAP-CR system. His system was at the very center of left picture. His work was practical. He used easily available box components for enclosure and made this system cost effective. His driver was 4" Tangband full-range. He added super tweeter in order to compensate for higher frequency response. Low range was powerful enough. Cross sectional area of external ducts was smaller than my recommendation, still performed well. It proved design flexibility of MCAP-CRs.

Mechanical Matrix MMX Speaker System

 I noticed that installing speaker drivers both L and R channel to same chamber makes stereo effects more than ten year ago. It was a test model for MCAP-CR application. Primary focus was to verify if thin film bottle could substitute for speaker driver membrane. The answer was "no"; however, it was found thin film bottle can be used as MCAP-CR subchamber. This system has both L and R drivers in the main wood chamber. I was curious about stereo effect, though L and R were installed closely. I recently tested above effect with 8" full-range drivers (photograph below). This model has two (L & R) FE206E frivers in same chamber. Real sound field effect was given by this system in big room. Now let us see the system of electrical matrix speaker system (let us call "EMX" speaker system) below: EMX is electrical wiring system with unbalanced amplifier whose negative terminal is grounded. Balanceed amplifire may not be used for MMX system. Mechanical matrix speaker...

Copied design?

Previous post may have not make readers understand. Here is the story. My site has contacting application to me. This application enable anyone to contact me directly through the web site: http://mcap.webcrow.jp/ . One person gave me information about suspected copy of my design. MCAP-CR is patented in Japan. Though it does not apply to some countries, but my copyright is protected. When I am asked for the use of the patented idea, I always allowed to use for free with the following conditions: Patent information and permission by the patent holder is noted. Indicate the website of the patent holder. Indicate the patent holder's information. Use the manufacturer's original design . I am happy to help manufacturers to give simulation. In this case, copy of my design is suspected without permission of patent or design use. The person who reported to me suspected unauthorised use of MCAP-CR gave me the information of the website. I will be the happiest to auth...

MMX Drawing example

 MMX is abbreviation of Mechanical Matrix loudspeaker system, which was described in the previous blog article. Without hearing an example system, it will be difficult to imagine its sound field. I added sample drawing below: http://mcap-cr.com/mcap/drawings/MMX-2_drawing-set.pdf This system is actually made. I enjoy listening music with this MMX-2.
