Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a mechanical filter for acoustic systems comprising at least one loudspeaker (6) and an acoustic horn (5) associated with the loudspeaker, the one open end (7) of the horn being secured to the edge (8) of the diaphragm (9) of the loudspeaker and the other open end (4) of the horn constituting the acoustic output. The horn exhibits rigid walls of which a part (10, 11) is rendered flexible, the flexible part of the horn being able to vibrate under the acoustic pressure inside the horn so as to filter or absorb the resonant peak(s) in the acoustic response of the rigid horn. The invention is particularly beneficial in improving the acoustic system for television sets. <IMAGE>
