Claims10
A subassembly of an electroacoustic transducer, comprising:
- a motor assembly;
- a back plate coupled to the motor assembly and having a substantially planar surface extending in a first direction of extension, the back plate having a first width, wherein the back plate includes a plurality of vent holes extending through a peripheral outermost surface of the back plate and positioned around a center region of the back plate, and wherein the motor assembly is directly coupled to and extends from a first surface of the center region of the back plate;
- and
- an alignment element having a length extending from a second surface of the center region of the back plate in a second direction of extension perpendicular to the first direction of extension and away from the motor assembly, the alignment element having a width that is less than the width of the back plate.
