Abstract
Abstract A dynamic loudspeaker unit having a voice coil formed with two windings in which a capacitor is connected in series to a parallel circuit, one circuit arm being composed of a series circuit of one of the two windings and an inductor and the other circuit arm being composed of the remaining winding. The dynamic loudspeaker unit thus constructed is housed in a bass-reflex type cabinet, whereby a shoulder characteristic having a large Q in a bass zone can be obtained, and due to a combination of the inductor and the capacitor, a desired lowest resonance frequency lower than an actual lowest resonance frequency can be selected. Thus, the reproducible bass range can be extended.
