The invention relates to a suspension device for a loudspeaker, comprising an annular outer edge that is able to fasten the suspension device to a frame, an annular inner edge that is able to fasten the suspension device to a membrane, a suspension hoop that extends annularly between the edges, said suspension hoop being able to absorb movement stresses produced at the inner edge by means of a deformation that thus forms a resonance mode, the suspension hoop comprising at least one annular protuberance that is positioned so as to minimize the at least one resonance mode of the suspension hoop, the mass of the at least one annular protuberance being between 150% and 400% the mass of a part of the suspension hoop on which the at least one annular protuberance is positioned.
Abstract:
A suspension element coupled to a diaphragm and to a frame of an acoustic device. The suspension element includes a first surround element and a second surround element that are located adjacent to each other. At least one of the surround elements includes at least one or more openings. The at least one or more openings have features of being located at an edge of the at least one of the surround elements adjacent to the other surround element, or being located in both of the surround elements.
Abstract:
A support frame for a thin mini speaker structure thinner than 10 mm includes a main body having a fixing hole, into which a magnet assembly is mounted to locate below a voice coil; two electrically conductive members disposed on the main body; two lead wire holders disposed on the main body between the fixing hole and the electrically conductive members and each defining a lead wire receiving groove thereon; a first damping colloid applied into the lead wire receiving grooves. Two lead wires of the voice coil are set in the first damping colloid in the lead wire receiving grooves and the electrically conductive members to respectively present an outward curved shape. A thin mini speaker lead wire assembling method is also introduced. With the above support frame and method, two ends of the voice coil windings can be directly used as lead wires to save additional tinsel leads.
Abstract:
An electro-acoustic transducer includes an accordion-type structure that functions as both an acoustic radiation element and an acoustic seal. In one example, the transducer includes parallel, accordion-type structures that attach to a flat, rectangular diaphragm. The diaphragm is connected to a voice coil. The voice coil and an associated frame are positioned between a magnet arrangement. The magnet arrangement includes stacked magnet pairs positioned between pole pieces to focus magnetic flux.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a loudspeaker, which contains bearing structure, a magnetic arrangement (12) fixed to the bearing structure, determining air-gaps (13), and a diaphragm connected to the bearing structure, made of a sheet material. The diaphragm has the shape of a cylindrical jacket consisting of segments (10), the segments (10) are connected to each other along delimiting lines running in the direction of the generating lines, and they have a surface the curvature of which is larger than the curvature that belongs to the overall radius of the cylindrical jacket-like shape, there is a flap (11) at least along two delimiting lines, which flaps (11) extend into an air-gap (13) each radially, and the diaphragm is connected to the bearing structure with flexible supporting units joining the flaps (11) and allowing radial movement of the flaps (11) in the air-gap (13).
Abstract:
An electrostatic loudspeaker (ESL) system includes a damping screen adjacent an outside surface of at least one of its stators to reduce distortion of acoustic output rendered by the loudspeaker's diaphragm, including effects of resonance of the diaphragm. A resilient excursion limiter placed adjacent an inside surface of at least one of the stators prevents contact of the diaphragm with the stator. A conductive portion of the diaphragm is printed with a conductive ink layer that includes conductive nanofibers. The loudspeaker system includes a dipole-radiating ESL element, an unbaffled or partially baffled dynamic loudspeaker and a baffled monopole-radiating dynamic loudspeaker (subwoofer), all essentially co-planar. The unbaffled or partially baffled dynamic loudspeaker provides a smooth transition in sound between the dipole-radiating ESL element and the monopole-radiating subwoofer. The ESL system includes two or more invertedly-driven ESL elements of different sizes, each element handling a different range of frequencies.
Abstract:
An acoustic passive radiator that controls “rocking mode” vibration. An acoustic passive radiator includes a diaphragm for radiating acoustic energy. The diaphragm has a perimeter portion and a central portion. The perimeter portion is thicker than the central portion. The passive radiator further includes a passive radiator suspension. The suspension includes a skin element encasing the diaphragm. The skin element comprises a surround for physically coupling the passive radiator to an acoustic enclosure, pneumatically sealing the diaphragm and the enclosure. The surround has a non-uniform width. The passive radiator a non-pneumatically sealing, non-surround, non-spider suspension element. The non-surround suspension element and the surround coact to control the motion of the diaphragm and to support the weight of the diaphragm.
Abstract:
A loudspeaker damper, a manufacturing method thereof, and a loudspeaker, electronic equipment and device using the loudspeaker damper. The damper has flexibility. Therefore, even if a large input is applied and the damper oscillates with a large amplitude, a resin layer provided on the surface of the damper base material is not cracked due to partial interface peeling. Thus, the damper follows such a large amplitude and realizes high input-resistance. This loudspeaker damper material is obtained by impregnating a material with thermosetting resin including 2 to 20 wt % of flexibility imparting agent and heat-curing thereof.
Abstract:
A planar magnetic driver includes covering plates that are maintained under tension to form a buckled or curved surface, thereby providing for a larger magnetic gap, and allowing for a larger excursion of the diaphragm and extended lower frequency response. Another aspect of the driver includes a corrugated region along the periphery of the diaphragm, which provides increased internal dampening.
