A method for manufacturing a transducer unit for converting electrical signals into deflections and/or deflections into electrical signals, in which a transducer element is arranged on a support element, which is coupled to a diaphragm unit, which is deflectable along a stroke axis, includes the step of casting a fluid and curable diaphragm material onto a reinforcing element of the diaphragm unit to form a flexible diaphragm element. The diaphragm unit is coupled or coupleable to the transducer element. The diaphragm element, together with the reinforcing element, at least partially form the diaphragm unit. A transducer unit includes a diaphragm unit having a reinforcing element and a flexible diaphragm element formed of a fluid and curable diaphragm material that has been cast onto the reinforcing element.

The present invention provides a diaphragm including a first polymer substrate material made of polymer material, a second polymer substrate material made of polymer material, and a porous damping substrate material made of porous damping material. The porous damping substrate material has a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface. The first polymer substrate material is fixed to the first side surface, and the second polymer substrate material is fixed to the second side surface. The first polymer substrate material and/or the second polymer substrate material are at least partially embedded in the porous damping substrate material. The diaphragm in the invention can reduce the amplitude deviation under high temperature. Further, the invention provides a method for forming the diaphragm and a speaker using the same.

Articles and methods are provided for miniature acoustic transducers having highly compliant suspension systems despite their small size. In various examples the suspension system is molded of a liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and is molded in an interior cavity geometry that includes and apex radially offset and/or axially offset from a desired cured position of an apex of the suspension.

A sound generator includes a frame, a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system accommodated in the frame. The vibration system includes a suspension. The suspension includes a first part and a second part attached to the first part. The first part includes a first middle portion, a first edge portion, and a first positioning portion. The second part includes a second middle portion, a second edge portion, and a second positioning portion. The second positioning portion is stacked on the first positioning portion, and is assembled with the first positioning portion by adhesive. The first edge portion is convex toward the frame, and the second edge portion is convex away from the frame, by which a sealed cavity is formed between the first and second edge portions. By virtue of such a configuration, the strength of the vibration system is improved.

A method of forming a device having a compliant member includes providing an elastomeric layer in an uncured state. The elastomeric layer is pre-cured to increase its viscosity. Subsequently, a bobbin and housing, each having an end, can be positioned such that their ends extend at least partially into the elastomeric layer. The elastomeric layer is cured to secure it to the bobbin housing. Examples of pre-cure and cure operations include one or more of a thermal cure, evaporative cure and ultraviolet cure, and the application of moisture, microwave energy and chemical additive. Due to the increased viscosity after the pre-cure, the migration of elastomeric material is substantially reduced relative to an uncured elastomeric material. The reduction in elastomeric material migration results in smaller menisci formed along the walls of the housing and bobbin, and reduced thinning of the compliant member formed at their ends.
