  A one dimensional system made up of a compressible fluid and several
mechanical oscillators, coupled to the acoustic field in the fluid, is analyzed
for different settings of the oscillators array. The dynamical models are
formulated in terms of singular perturbations of the decoupled dynamics of the
acoustic field and the mechanical oscillators. Detailed spectral properties of
the generators of the dynamics are given for each model we consider. In the
case of a periodic array of mechanical oscillators it is shown that the energy
spectrum presents a band structure.
