README
README.mdMissing Fundamental
小型スピーカーの低音再生能力を、DSP処理によって物理的な限界を超えて向上させる基板です。
コンセプト
ミッシングファンダメンタル現象(基音が実際には存在しなくても、倍音列の間隔から脳が元のピッチを補完して知覚する現象)を利用しています。低域信号から意図的に倍音を生成し、小型スピーカーが再生しやすい帯域に載せることで、実際には出ていない低音を知覚上再現します。
詳細は こちら。
主な処理
- ランブルカット(60Hzハイパス)+ 倍音生成
- スピーカー周波数特性補正EQ(6段直列)
- ステレオエンハンサー / クロストークキャンセル
- ソフトクリップ、ラウドネス補正
- スイッチによるDSP ON/OFF切り替え
すべて48kHz・float演算でリアルタイム処理しています。
ハードウェア
- マイコン: Raspberry Pi Pico2 (RP2350)
- DAC: PT8211
- アンプIC: PAM8403
基板データは hardware/ です。
ビルド
Raspberry Pi Pico SDKでビルドします。

Questions
How big is the Missing Fundamental PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 79.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Missing Fundamental use?
60 parts, built around the NJU77552G-TE2, PAM8403DR, PT8211-S and NJM2866F33-TE1. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Missing Fundamental KiCad files?
From the ice458/Missing_Fundamental repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Missing Fundamental.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Missing Fundamental.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Missing Fundamental design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
