1. DC input
The traditional electrostatic loudspeakers
all adopt 110V ~ 220V AC power supplies, which are difficult to
meet the international standard for safety. Through many years
of research and accurate calculations, we drew a conclusion that
a 12V / 0.15A power supply can fully satisfy the amount of
energy required for driving the diaphragms of our highly
efficient electrostatic loudspeakers, hence it can ensure the
safety of the device as the service power is less than 2W.
2. Nanotechnology-applied sounding
membrane
The electrostatic-driven membrane requires a
conduction treatment in order to vibrate in an alternating
electric field. We have developed our own nano-coating material
with strong adhesive properties, which allows the vibrating
diaphragm to have lower requirements for energy, faster
response, in-phase change with the music signal and more
penetrating sound.
3. Cell-structure signal plates
The signal plates of the electrostatic
loudspeaker have two functions: 1) sound channelling: the sound
produced by the vibrating membrane comes out from the sounding
plates, so it is necessary to have as high a hole-density as
possible for good sound penetration; 2) the plates are also
electrodes, generating the alternating electric field to drive
the membrane, so it should have good conductivity, which
requires as large a conduction area and thickness as possible
(but in the case of excessive thickness, the hole resonance may
affect the high frequency); the traditional electrostatic
sounding plates consist of thin punched plates with straight or
diagonal round-hole arrangements. However, only the
cell-structure punch has the best sound penetration performance
and the most uniform distribution of conduction area (of the
static electric field), which meets two index requirements for
the perfect electrostatic sounding plates, boasting the
strongest electric field, highest efficiency, lowest distortion
and best comprehensive performance under the condition of the
same hole-density.
4. Surface protection technology
The electrostatic loudspeaker can be
considered as a capacitor that uses air as the conductive
medium. Its operating state is greatly influenced by the ambient
conditions (temperature and humidity), mainly because: 1) the
intensity of the electric field is affected by the changes of
medium coefficient; 2) the drain current between both sounding
plates will increase under high temperature and high humidity;
3) the leakage of polarization voltage of the vibrating
diaphragm is greatly influenced by the changes of medium (air).
We apply special surface protection treatment to the sounding
plates and vibrating membrane, which acts as an insulation layer
against temperature and humidity, and it also acts as a cut-off
layer of current and voltage between both sounding plates as
well as between the sounding plates and the vibrating diaphragm.
Therefore, the problems that exist in the traditional
electrostatic loudspeakers can be fundamentally solved, and the
loudspeakers are therefore less influenced by the environment
and more durable.
There is a maximum limit for the input
voltage for all electrostatic loudspeakers, because when the
voltage increases to a certain level, the air between the
sounding plates and the vibrating diaphragm will be punctured
which will damage the loudspeaker. The higher the allowable
maximum input voltage is, the higher the acceptable power of the
loudspeaker. Relying on the advanced treatment technology for
sounding plate and vibrating diaphragm, our gap (between
sounding plate and vibrating diaphragm) is 1/3 shorter than that
of the traditional electrostatic loudspeaker under the condition
of the same acceptable power of the loudspeaker. The intensity
of the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of
the gap and the small gap requires the small amplitude and small
distortion of the vibrating diaphragm, so our electrostatic
loudspeaker has higher efficiency, lower distortion and faster
response.
5. Unit-type production
The traditional electrostatic loudspeaker
adopts the single-piece massive vibrating diaphragm design. For
this massive but extremely thin diaphragm, it is difficult to
make it flat, not to mention the multiprocessing and fitting
with other fittings. Due to so many working procedures, it is
difficult to operate and it is almost impossible to ensure
complete uniformity. However, the above procedures have some
influence on the performance of the loudspeaker. Our
electrostatic loudspeaker adopts the unit-type production. The
single massive piece is divided into multiple small pieces, the
dimensions of all modules are controlled by the moulds for the
conformity and the fittings are mounted with the fixture to
ensure the conformity of assembly, so as to ensure the high
quality and conformity of our electrostatic loudspeaker to the
maximum.
6. Multi-unit complex
For the full band electrostatic loudspeaker,
we adopt the division and coordination design of the large and
small units: the large part for LF replay and the small part for
MF and HF. The dimensions of the units are confirmed after the
repeated simulations, calculations and tests by the computer so
as to make it all the more conform to the acoustics principles
with lower frequency of LF replay and higher frequency of HF
replay. The complex design of two vertical bass and alt line
sources removes the pressure of room ceiling and floor on the
sound so that the replay sound is more relaxed, which greatly
improves the level and vertical diffusion of the loudspeaker,
yielding a wider sound field and more live effects . |
