Pneumatic Loudspeaker

pneumatic loudspeaker

[nu̇′mad·ik ′lau̇d‚spēk·ər] (engineering acoustics) A loudspeaker in which the acoustic ouput results from controlled variation of an airstream.

Pneumatic Loudspeaker

an acoustic radiator in which the sound is generated by modulation of a flow of compressed air. Pneumatic loudspeakers were used in the 1930’s and 1940’s to transmit orders and information in large harbors, river ports, and other areas with a high noise level.

A pneumatic loudspeaker consists of a compressor and a tank to produce a stream of compressed air, a modulator to vary the stream according to audio-frequency oscillations supplied to it, and a horn to radiate the sound. Such loudspeakers produced an acoustic power of up to 2 kilowatts and reproduced audio-frequency oscillations with frequencies of up to 2.5–3.5 kilohertz, with high internal noise and substantial nonlinear distortion.
