Speaker and magnetic circuit

Abstract

A high performance speaker is provided and includes a simple structure magnetic circuit achieved without the need of a complicated manufacturing process, and a high performance speaker is provided and includes a simple structure diaphragm achieved without the need of a difficult process for forming a U shape of a narrow width in the diaphragm. A speaker 100 is equipped with an inner-magnet-type magnetic circuit 4 provided with a magnet 1, a plate 2 and a yoke 3, a voice coil 7, and a diaphragm 6 supporting the voice coil 7 in place close to the end of the plate 2 while allowing the voice coil to vibrate. The yoke 3 is formed in an approximately flat plate shape having a diameter equal to or larger than that of the plate 2. The diaphragm 6 has a dome-shaped vibrating section 61 formed in a central portion, a cone-shaped vibrating section 63 having an outer periphery supported by a speaker frame 5, and a voice coil bobbin 62 which is formed between the dome-shaped vibrating section 61 and the cone-shaped vibrating section 63. The voice coil bobbin 62 is formed in an L-shaped cross section bending outward from an end of a tubular portion in which the voice coil 7 is mounted. The dome-shaped and cone-shaped vibrating sections and the voice coil bobbin are molded together in one piece.
