Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schallschwingungsabnahmesystem zur Umwandlung von Schallschwingungen eines Klanginstrumentes in elektrische Signale mit zumindest einem mechanisch-elektrischen Wandler mit einem aktiven und einem passiven Bewegungspol, wobei der aktive Bewegungspol mit einem schwingenden Element des Klanginstrumentes entweder direkt oder über ein zwischenliegendes Durchleitelement in Kontakt bringbar ist, zumindest einem Trägheitsmassenelement, das mit dem passiven Bewegungspol des Wandlers verbunden ist, und zumindest einer schwingungsentkoppelnden von einer Verbindung über den Wandler unabhängigen Lagerung zur Lagerung des zumindest einen Trägheitsmassenelementes und zur Schwingungsentkopplung parallel zur Richtung der abzunehmenden Schallschwingungen. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Klanginstrument mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Schallschwingungsabnahmesystem und Verfahren zum Abnehmen von Schallschwingungen von Klanginstrumenten.

The invention relates to a Schallschwingungsabnahmesystem for converting sound vibrations of a sound instrument into electrical signals with at least one mechanical-electrical transducer having an active and a passive Bewegungspol, wherein the active Bewegungspol is brought into contact with a vibrating element of the sound instrument either directly or via an intermediate passage at least one inertia mass element connected to the passive moving pole of the transducer, and at least one vibration-decoupling bearing independent of a connection via the transducer for supporting the at least one inertia mass element and for decoupling vibration parallel to the direction of the acoustic vibrations to be removed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sound instrument with a Schallschwingungsabnahmesystem invention and methods for removing sound vibrations of sound instruments.
