Abstract
A speaker may include a center pole and a voice coil bobbin having a bobbin that may include nonmagnetic and electric conductor layers and insulator layers disposed between the electric conductor layers. An electrostatic capacity, which is formed between the center pole and the voice coil bobbin, is detected and outputted as an electrical signal.
Claims4
A speaker comprising:
- a center pole;
- and
- a voice coil bobbin including a bobbin comprising at least three or more nonmagnetic electric conductor layers, which are respectively arranged from closest to the center pole to farthest from the center pole, and also including insulator layers disposed between the electric conductor layers;
- wherein
- an electrostatic capacity, which is formed between the center pole and the voice coil bobbin, is detected and outputted as an electrical signal, and
- the electric conductor layers except the nearest electric conductor layer to the center pole are grounded.
