A speaker includes a frame, a vibration unit fixed to the frame, and a magnetic circuit unit fixed to the frame. The vibration unit includes a diaphragm fixed to the frame, and a coil configured to drive the diaphragm to vibrate and sound. The diaphragm includes a dome. The dome includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer which are stacked sequentially in a direction from the coil to the diaphragm. The second layer includes a honeycomb structure. The third layer includes a body and a plurality of through holes extending through the body in a vibration direction of the diaphragm. The through holes communicate with the honey structure of the second layer form a resonance cavity.

A multi-layered laminate for producing membranes for electroacoustic transducers, comprises a first layer of a polyether ether ketone film having a heat of crystallisation of at least 15 J/g, a second layer (of a thermoplastic plastic film having a heat of crystallisation of no more than 5 J/g, and an adhesive layer arranged between the first and second layers. Alternatively, the first and second layers are defined by their shrinkage properties after 15 minutes at 200° C.: the first layer has shrinkage of more than 10% in at least one direction, and the second layer has shrinkage of less than 10% in the longitudinal and transverse directions. A laminate constructed in this manner exhibits lower fold formation when processed using multi-cavity thermoforming. The laminates are useful for the production of membranes for electroacoustic transducers.

A loudspeaker diaphragm includes a base layer and a coating layer. The base layer contains natural fibers. The coating layer is composed of bamboo cellulose nanofibers and is formed at least on the first side of the base layer. The coating layer has a thickness in the range of 3% to 15%, both inclusive of the sum of the thicknesses of the base layer and the coating layer.

The present invention provides a method for making a speaker vibrating member, including: impregnating a fiber cloth with a resin solution for at least one time; removing the fiber cloth from the resin solution, and impregnating the fiber cloth with a water-based rubber solution for at least one time; drying the fiber cloth; forming at least one speaker vibrating member shaped portion on a dried fiber cloth; and cutting the at least one speaker vibrating member shaped portion off from the dried fiber cloth to acquire the speaker vibrating member. In such a way, the fiber cloth may be prevented from sticking with the mold during the formation step due to the protection provided by the release layer. In addition, the speaker vibrating member manufactured by the method has a higher flexibility and a remarkable fatigue resistance; consequently, the sound quality of the speaker may be enhanced.

A speaker assembly including a frame and a magnet assembly positioned within the frame. The magnet assembly may include a magnet and a top plate. The assembly further including a sound radiating surface suspended over the magnet assembly. The sound radiating surface includes a flexible circuit. A suspension suspending the sound radiating surface over the magnet assembly is further provided. The suspension may be over molded to the sound radiating surface and the frame. A voice coil extends from a bottom side of the sound radiating surface and electrically connects to the flexible circuit.

An acoustic diaphragm made at least in part from an expanded material. The expanded material includes one or more of cellulose, synthetic fibers and glass fibers. The expanded material has more than about 55% by volume voids.

A speaker diaphragm includes a plurality of highly rigid layers and a porous layer. Each of the plurality of highly rigid layers includes a first resin matrix, and wood fibers and highly rigid fibers dispersed in the first resin matrix. The porous layer includes a second resin matrix comprising independent pores, and fibers comprising wood fibers and highly rigid fibers dispersed in the second resin matrix. Both outermost layers are the highly rigid layers. A percentage content of the wood fibers in the highly rigid layers is 10% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less. A percentage content of the highly rigid fibers in the highly rigid layers is 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less. A percentage content of total fibers in the porous layer is 15% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less.

An interior component of a vehicle comprises a carrier having a front face directed toward a passenger compartment of the vehicle and an opposite rear face; a speaker including an at least partially transparent diaphragm and a transducer coupled to the diaphragm. Movement of the transducer causes vibration of the diaphragm to generate sound by vibration of the diaphragm, the diaphragm having a front face directed towards the passenger compartment and an opposite rear face. The carrier provides a support along at least part of the periphery of the diaphragm where the diaphragm is attached to the carrier where the front face and the rear face of the diaphragm are free of the carrier across a part of the diaphragm surface so that the diaphragm is suspended in the carrier of the interior component.

A non-dispensing manufacturing process includes forming a paper cone; engaging the paper cone with a voice coil to form a vibration assembly; fixing a yoke, a magnet set, and a washer to form a magnetic circuit assembly; engaging a basket with the magnetic circuit assembly; and engaging the basket with the vibration assembly to form a speaker, where no glue is used in the manufacturing process. A speaker includes a paper cone; a voice coil engaged with the paper cone to form a vibration assembly, where a junction between a bobbin of the voice coil and the paper cone has a first welding layer; a magnetic circuit assembly including a yoke, a magnet set, and a washer that are integrally fixed; and a basket engaged with the magnetic circuit assembly and the vibration assembly.

A MEMS loudspeaker device and a corresponding manufacturing method are described. The MEMS loudspeaker device includes a first substrate having a first front side and a first rear side, which includes a first rear side cavity, which is at least partially covered by a sound generation device; a second substrate having a second front side and a second rear side, which includes a second rear side cavity, which is covered by a first perforated plate device; the second rear side being bonded to the first front side in such a way that the second rear side cavity is situated above the sound generation device; and a second perforated plate device, which is attached above the first perforated plate device; at least one of the first perforated plate device and of the second plate device being elastically deflectable in such a way that a passage of sound of the sound generation device may be modulated by an interaction of the first perforated plate device and the second perforated plate device.
