Description

The invention initially relates to the use of a silver-copper-gold alloy according to claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical component for sound reproduction and/or recording and/or for sound signal processing, output, reception and/or transmission, comprising the aforementioned silver-copper-gold alloy according to claim 6.

In devices for sound reproduction and/or recording and/or for sound signal processing, output, reception and/or conduction, for example for music reproduction, recording and/or processing, for example in loudspeakers, amplifiers, sound signal sources, microphones, pickups, for example guitar pick-ups, mixing consoles and cables and/or components therefor, the composition of metals and metal alloys used therein, for example in an electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical component, can have an influence on the timbre of the sound output, received and/or processed via it.

The DE 10 2009 013 983 A1 concerns a transformer for NF signals.

The DE 696 29 613 T2 discloses an electrically conductive multilayer film or a transparent electrode substrate and a liquid crystal display device using a silver-copper-gold alloy.

In the JP 2002 140 929 A Components for use in liquid crystal displays are described, using certain silver-copper-gold alloys to achieve high weather resistance with low resistance. This applies to films or membranes.

This also reveals the JP 2002 141 242 A electrical components that are coated with a silver-copper-gold alloy to achieve weather resistance.

Finally, the DE 600 22 951 T2 Alloys for electronic components, particularly in connection with liquid crystal display panels for the realization of specific resistances.

However, the metals and alloys known in the state of the art are not yet optimally designed. For example, the use of pure copper in electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical components in such devices can achieve a warm tone, but the resulting tone is not transparent. The use of pure silver in electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical components in such devices can achieve a tone with a high degree of transparency, but the resulting tone is also cool.

However, in some areas of application, for example to achieve a certain sound impression and/or when reproducing, recording and/or processing sound, such as music and/or speech, it may be desirable to achieve a timbre with both a certain transparency and a certain warmth, which has not been possible to a sufficient extent to date using the metals and alloys known in the prior art, in particular when used in an electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical component for sound reproduction and/or recording and/or for sound signal processing, output, reception and/or conduction, for example for music and/or speech reproduction, recording and/or processing.

The invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing the use of the alloy or the component mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the alloy, when used in an electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical component or in a corresponding component and/or in a device for sound reproduction and/or recording and/or for sound signal processing, output, reception and/or conduction, in particular for music and/or speech reproduction, recording and/or processing, enables the achievement of a tone color with both a certain transparency and a certain warmth - and in particular also with a certain luminosity.

The problem underlying the invention is solved for use with the features of patent claim 1 and for the corresponding component with the features of patent claim 6.

timbre analyses

To analyse the timbre of different metals and metal alloys, voice coils were made from the metals or metal alloys to be examined and installed one after the other in a loudspeaker. The timbres produced by the loudspeaker were then determined. Table 1: Comparative tests using a timbre analysis of a loudspeaker equipped with different voice coils made of copper, silver and alloys thereof No. silver [wt.%] copper [wt.%] Gold [wt.%] timbre 1 100 warm, familiar 2 100 cool, transparent 3 99 1 less cool, transparent 4 98 2 narrow, throaty 5 97 3 narrow, throaty 6 98 1 1 transparent, warm, bright

Table 1 shows that voice coil No. 1 made of copper resulted in a warm and intimate tone, whereas voice coil No. 2 made of silver resulted in a cool and transparent tone.

Voice coil No. 3, made of a silver-gold alloy of 99 wt.% silver and 1 wt.% gold, resulted in a transparent but less cool tone than the silver voice coil No. 2. However, tests of voice coil No. 4, made of a silver-gold alloy of 98 wt.% silver and 2 wt.% gold, and voice coil No. 5, made of a silver-gold alloy of 97 wt.% silver and 3 wt.% gold, showed that increasing the gold content to 2 wt.% and 3 wt.%, respectively, resulted in a narrow, throaty tone.

Finally, Table 1 shows that voice coil No. 6, made of a silver-copper-gold alloy of 98 wt.% silver, 1 wt.% copper and 1 wt.% gold, surprisingly resulted in a transparent and at the same time warm and especially bright tone color.

From the above mentioned explanations it follows that different / various electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical components and/or electrical, electronic and/or electrotechnical cal components can have the aforementioned silver-copper-gold alloy. Capacitors, transistors or resistors are particularly suitable here. In particular, the connection points of these parts and/or components can be formed from the aforementioned silver-copper-gold alloy or can be or will be manufactured from this aforementioned alloy.
