Abstract
A ribbon-type electro-acoustic transducer comprising a magnet system having a pole plate (2, 3) and a center pole (1) between which at least one air gap (8) is formed with a diaphragm (7) arranged in the air gap (8). The diaphragm comprises at least two foils (10, 11) which extend substantially parallel to each other in the diaphragm plane, every two adjacent foils being joined to each other at their circumference in an air-tight manner so that a volume (12) is enclosed. A conductor (9, 18) is arranged on each of the foils. Preferably the volume enclosed between two foils contains a damping material (22).
Claims5
An electro-acoustic transducer of the ribbon-type comprising:
- a magnet system having a pole plate and a centre pole between which at least one air gap is formed, a diaphragm arranged in the air gap and which comprises two or more foils which all extend substantially parallel to each other in the diaphragm plane, every two adjacent foils being joined to each other at the periphery thereof in a substantially air-tight manner so as to provide a space therebetween, and a conductor arranged on each of the foils with the conductors electrically arranged such that all of the foils move at least substantially in phase with each other when an electric signal is applied to the transducer.
