3. Theory of Operation
Each of the AA252 Boomer plates consist of an electrical coil, which is magnetically coupled to
the plate (metallic disc) situated behind a diaphragm. Energy contained in the electrical
storage capacitors in the CSP unit is discharged into the Boomer plate coil. This creates a
mechanical response on the diaphragm plate due to eddy currents on the plate. The resultant
acoustic pressure pulse is broad spectrum in nature. The Acoustic Pulse shape and
reverberation is controlled by damping springs.
Using a single CSP-S power source for all of the boomer plates results in the timing of the
transmissions being accurate to 2µs. Combining the 3 Boomer plates in a planar array forms a
directional beam pattern with a ~6dB improvement in directivity index compared to a single
Boomer plate. The resulting sound pressure level is increased whilst retaining resolution.
