Abstract
One embodiment provides a slim acoustic transducer with a diaphragm that is substantially centered on a vertical axis. A first top plate is substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis. The first top plate houses a first upper magnet. A first bottom plate is substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis. The first bottom plate houses a first lower magnet. A voice coil has a height parallel to the vertical axis. The voice coil is at least partially disposed within the first top plate and at least partially disposed within the first bottom plate.
Claims20
A slim acoustic transducer comprising:
- a diaphragm substantially centered on a vertical axis;
- a first top plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis, the first top plate housing a first upper magnet;
- a first bottom plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis, the first bottom plate housing a first lower magnet;
- and
- a voice coil having a height parallel to the vertical axis, wherein the voice coil is at least partially disposed within the first top plate and at least partially disposed within the first bottom plate.
A slim acoustic transducer comprising:
- a diaphragm substantially centered on a vertical axis;
- a first top plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis, the first top plate coupled with a first upper magnet;
- a first bottom plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis, the first bottom plate coupled with a first lower magnet;
- and
- a voice coil having a height parallel to the vertical axis.
A method of designing a slim acoustic transducer comprising:
- centering a diaphragm on a vertical axis;
- placing a first top plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis;
- housing a first upper magnet within the first top plate;
- placing a first bottom plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis;
- housing a first lower magnet within the first bottom plate;
- and
- placing a voice coil such that a height of the voice coil is parallel to the vertical axis, wherein placing the voice coil comprises at least partially disposing the voice coil within the first top plate and at least partially disposing the voice coil within the first bottom plate.
