Abstract
Description
- This invention relates in general to sound isolation cabinets useful for recording musical instruments such as electric guitars, and more specifically to a sound isolation cabinet using complimentary sound sources to generate improved isolated sound.
- It is very difficult to accurately reproduce an electric guitar's “live” sound in an isolated space. However, it is very desirable to do so because isolating the sound allows the sound to be recorded without bothering other people such as neighbors in an apartment building. Also, isolating the sound prevents other sounds from interfering with the recording of the electric guitar sound as in professional recording situations where a live performance requires other loud instruments to play at the same time as the electric guitar.
- Two approaches have been made to isolate an electric guitar sound. One is the direct approach where the sound is maintained as a purely electronic signal. The other is the “isolation cabinet” approach where the sound is reproduced acoustically in an enclosed space.
- The “direct” approach to recording electric guitars has been tried for many years. Many pre-amplifiers, equalizers and sound effects gadgets are available to enhance the direct signal from the guitar so that the processed signal can be directly used for recording, or for reproducing in headphones or for other purposes. However, none of the available direct equipment produces a sound as pleasing, or desired, as the tone achieved when the electric guitar is played at amplified volume through speakers. Since this mode is the way the electric guitar is played in a live concert, it is sometimes referred to as the “live” sound of the electric guitar.
- One reason the direct approach fails to reproduce the live sound is that there is a “speaker effect,” or coloration of the sound due to the speaker or speakers. Different speakers have different sounds and are sought after for different types of music according to the tastes of the particular musicians. For example, speakers such as the “Greenback” speaker manufactured by Celestion International, Ltd., Foxhall Rd., Ipswitch Suffolk, England, are very desirable for gritty, distorted “rock'n roll” tones. The number and variety of speakers is large. Each adds a slightly different color to the tone. Apparently the complex wave effects of the speaker cone's vibrating surface in air makes for a more interesting tone that is lost when using the direct approach.
- Another reason that the direct approach fails to reproduce the live tone of an electric guitar is that some guitar tones are only fully realized at high output from an amplifier. For example, amplifiers made by Marshall Products, Ltd., Bletchley, England, are highly desirable for certain types of music, but certain of their tones are only realized when the amplifier's power output stage is set to a high output level. Although the prior art uses resistive loading, inductive loading and other techniques to try to “siphon” off a direct signal from an amplifier's power output, these methods fail to yield a sound that is, by many standards, even remotely close to the live sound.
- Given the shortcomings of the direct approach, attempts have been made to produce “isolation cabinets” which are little more than enclosed boxes containing a speaker and a microphone. The electric guitar output is amplified and fed to the speaker which produces sound that is picked up by the microphone. The signals from the microphone are routed to other external devices for audibly playing the sound, or recording the sound. Since the electric guitar is amplified and driving a speaker, this setup is the same as the live setup. However, these approaches have failed to produce a pleasing reproduction of the guitar tone. The reason for this is that the speaker is “damped” or restricted in it's freedom to vibrate because of the compression of air in a small volume necessary to contain the sound. To date, no isolation cabinet exists that can approach the live sound to the point where it can effectively be used to record a certain live-sounding guitar tones in professional recordings. For example, the Internet page “www.cybtrans.com/guitar/g101.htm” includes a discussion on isolation cabinets, and the failings of some commercially available cabinets.
- The present invention is a sound isolation cabinet that uses two or more speakers to generate complimentary sound waves within the sound-proof cabinet. The sounds generated inside the cabinet are detected by a microphone and sent to external device for recording or listening purposes. In one embodiment, two speakers are arranged side-by-side and mounted on a panel. The panel serves to section-off two chambers within the cabinet. The primary chamber is the chamber toward which the speakers are facing. The secondary chamber is the chamber within which the backs of the speakers are positioned. The speakers are connected to the input signal in reverse polarity of each other. Thus, during operation one speaker is pushing air outward while the other is pulling air inward. This complimentary generation of sound waves alleviates the muffling effect of the small isolated space and allows the speakers to generate sound as though they were in a much larger open area. Thus, the sound picked up by the microphone is very close to the desired “live” sound.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention uses: a cabinet enclosure; an input for receiving an external electrical signal; first and second speakers positioned in the isolation cabinet, wherein the speakers are responsive to the electrical signal to produce sound by moving air within the cabinet; and a coupling between the input and the first and second speakers so that the air in the cabinet is moved in a complimentary fashion to produce sound within the cabinet in response to the electrical signal.

Isolation cabinet 100 is shown withback 102 open for purposes of illustration. This version of the cabinet was constructed using a commercially-available speaker cabinet manufactured by Jim Marshall Products, Ltd. It is a so-called “4 by 10” speaker cabinet which denotes that it originally housed four speakers whose diameters are approximately 10 inches, each. The particular shape of the cabinet, i.e., wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, is only due to the design of the original cabinet which was used to prototype the invention for practical reasons. Since the original cabinet was open-faced to allow the sound of the 4 speakers to emanate, apanel 104 was used to cover the openings. - The cabinet measures approximately 24″ high and 24″ wide. It is 11″ deep at its base and 9.5″ deep at it's top.
Mounting support panel 106 is used to supportspeakers 108 and 110. The speakers are identical 8 ohm, 10″ speakers manufactured by Celestion International, Ltd., with part numbers G10L-35. The higher edge of the mounting panel is about 11″ from the base of the cabinet while the lower edge of the mounting panel is about 3.5″ from the base. Thus, the speakers are inclined toward the front of the cabinet. The angle of inclination is not critical. Also, no inclination needs to be used although the position illustrated produces good tones and prevents matter from collecting in the speaker cones. The mounting panel spans the cross-section of the cabinet to createprimary chamber 114 andsecondary chamber 116. The preferred embodiment uses acoustic foam, approximately 1.5″ to 2″ thick, on all of the inner surfaces of the cabinet includingback panel 102, but not onmounting support panel 106. - Microphone112 is a Beta 57 microphone manufactured by Shure and is suspended by microphone cable so that its tip is about 2.5″ from the center of
speaker 108.Input cable 120 couples to jack 122 to provide a two-conductor input to the speakers. Note that the signal is applied in a first polarity tospeaker 108, but is applied in reversed polarity to speaker 110. - In operation,
back panel 102 is secured to the isolation cabinet with screws to create twochambers input 120 to jack 122 so thatspeakers 108 and 110 are driven. In the preferred embodiment, a 50-watt guitar amplifier model JCM-800 made by Jim Marshall Products, Ltd., is used. The signal is applied tospeaker 108 in normal polarity, and is applied to speaker 110 in reversed polarity. Thus, whenever the cone ofspeaker 108 pushes out in response to the sound signal, speaker 110's cone will pull in. This creates a complimentary pressure effect inprimary chamber 114. Also, a complimentary signal is created insecondary chamber 116 in a similar manner. Naturally,speaker 108 pulls in while speaker 110 pushes out so the effect is symmetrical. - The complimentary use of the two speakers, along with the dual chamber arrangement to alleviate the back pressure, reduces the dampening effect of moving air in a small enclosed volume. As a result, the guitar tones are produced in a fashion very close to the “live” sound, as where a speaker, or speakers, is used in the open air.
Microphone 112 picks up the sound signal, primarily fromspeaker 108, and transmits the sound as an electrical signal through the microphone cable to external equipment (not shown). The external equipment can be, for example, a recording device, headphones, sound effects processors, etc. Thus, the present invention provides a way to obtain a live sounding isolated guitar tone for use in recording or for other purposes. - Note that many design tradeoffs are possible that deviate from the specific embodiment shown in FIG. 1. Naturally, many different dimensions and shapes for the cabinet are possible. These can be rectangular or curved. Many materials are suitable for constructing the cabinet. Many shapes for the
chambers Primary chamber 114 need not be larger thansecondary chamber 116. The position ofmicrophone 112 may be anywhere in the cabinet, even insecondary chamber 116. In fact, by placingmicrophone 112 in different positions within the cabinet, different types of tones are emphasized. In the position shown in FIG. 1, the resulting sound signals as transmitted bymicrophone 112 were found to be “bassy,” or strong in low frequencies. To compensate for this, the electrical signal is passed through an equalization unit to roll off the low end. Such modifications to the basic sound are well known and are part of the artistry in recording guitar tones that vary from musician to musician and among recording engineers and producers. - The distance of the microphone to the speaker is easily regulated by raising or lowering the microphone by its cable. In the preferred embodiment, the distances from the microphone to
speaker 108 are marked on the cable itself. The cable is prevented from slipping by using a clamp or other means to secure the cable to the cabinet top (not shown). Many other ways to set the distance and position of the microphone relative to the speaker are possible. By putting the microphone uniformly between the speakers there may be advantages in tone or volume registering. Naturally, different types of microphones can be used to yield different tones, as is known in the art. A small microphone element can even be attached to the speaker cone itself, or affixed to the wall (inner or outer) of the cabinet. - It is not necessary to line the inside of the cabinet with acoustic foam. In fact, a truer live guitar tone was produced when the foam was not used. However, using the foam cuts down greatly on the amount of noise leaking out of the cabinet.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the arrangement of microphone, speakers and chambers of the embodiment of FIG. 1. Note that
microphone 112,chamber 114,speakers 108, 110 andchamber 116 correspond to their identically numbered counterparts in FIG. 1. - FIG. 3 shows an arrangement where the speakers are connected in parallel, but in the same polarity.
Speaker 202 is mounted in the opposite direction fromspeaker 204. Although feasible, this arrangement probably will not produce tones as well as the arrangement of FIG. 2 because the vibrating surfaces are not matched within each of thechambers - FIG. 4 shows yet another arrangement where the
speakers single chamber 224. Although the microphone is placed closer to one of the speakers, interesting or more desirable results may be achieved with the microphone in the center of the arrangement. The arrangement of FIG. 4 is suitable for a small device. Indeed, with sufficiently small speakers and a microphone, the isolation cabinet can be made to fit into the palm of a hand, or smaller. Many other arrangements are possible. - Although the present invention has been illustrated with respect to specific embodiments as described herein, many modifications are possible. For example, more than two speakers can be used as long as they are arranged so that the air compression from one speaker is compensated by a reaction from one or more of the other speakers. In such a case, the several speakers reacting to a main speaker might be smaller in size than the main speaker. By different arrangement of chambers and shape of cabinet it may be possible to have three or more speakers of the same or different size adequately compensate so that sampling the sound from one or more of the speakers by optimum microphone placement can yield superior results. More than 1 microphone can be used and the resulting signals can be combined at later stages for improved sound, such as stereo sound, or for special effects. A miniature version of the device can be built by using smaller speakers, microphone and cabinet enclosure. Also, electromagnetic coil speakers, like type described in the examples above, need not be used. Any audio transducer, or means of moving air or another medium to produce sounds can be used with the present invention. For example, piezoceramic benders, which are small flat plates without electromagnetic coils, can be used to produce sound. The medium need not be air but can be another gas.
- Naturally, sound sources other than an electric guitar can be used. For example, the sound source can be a human voice; brass, woodwind, string or other instrument.
- The scope of the invention is to be limited only by the appended claims.
