1-4. (Cancelled)
An electroacoustic transducer
- with a stationary transducer part and
- with a membrane configuration comprising a membrane and a handling ring for the membrane connected to the membrane,
- wherein the membrane configuration is attached to the stationary transducer part by means of the handling ring, and
- wherein the handling ring and the membrane are joined together by means of an interlocking connection.
A membrane configuration for an electroacoustic transducer, which membrane configuration comprises a membrane and a handling ring for the membrane connected to the membrane, wherein the handling ring and the membrane are joined together by means of an interlocking connection.
A deep-drawing method of forming a membrane for use in an electroacoustic transducer, the deep-drawing method using a deep-drawing mold having an annular limiting mold surface, the method comprising:
- placing a rigid membrane-support member in the deep-drawing mold to rest against the annular limiting mold surface;
- inserting a membrane-material into the deep-drawing mold and shaping the membrane-material into a membrane having an interlocking connection with the rigid membrane-support member;
- and
- removing excess membrane-material form the membrane.
