    摘要: According to an embodiment, a method of operating a speaker with an acoustic pump includes generating a carrier signal having a first frequency by exciting the acoustic pump at the first frequency and generating an acoustic signal having a second frequency by adjusting the carrier signal. In such embodiments, the first frequency is outside an audible frequency range and the second frequency is inside the audible frequency range. Adjusting the carrier signal includes performing adjustments to the carrier signal at the second frequency. Other embodiments include corresponding systems and apparatus, each configured to perform corresponding embodiment methods.

    摘要: A sound transducer structure includes a membrane and a counter electrode. The membrane includes a first main surface in a sound transducing region made of a membrane material, and an edge region. The counter electrode includes a second main surface arranged in parallel to the first main surface of the membrane on a side of a free volume opposite the first main surface of the membrane. A plurality of elevations extend in the sound transducing region from the second main surface of the counter electrode into the free volume. The membrane and the counter electrode are arranged to provide a capacity therebetween. The membrane comprises a corrugation groove extending in the sound transducing region from the first main surface of the membrane into the free volume.
