Piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) is used as the main material of the transducer, energy exchanger, arrester etc. and used in a control system in sound and vibration because of its excellent mechanical and electrical coupling performance, based on which, in this paper, a new active absorption system is designed in which the piezoelectric ceramic is used as the absorption material. Two equal distance microphones are placed in the front of the piezoelectric ceramic in order to measure the incident plane wave. Then, a voltage is applied on the piezoelectric ceramic in order to make the reflected wave zero using the adaptive controlling. Finally, an experiment is carried out and a good absorption effect attained. The experimental results denote that the theory is correct and practical.
