An assembly (1) for protecting an acoustic device comprises an expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) membrane (3) and first and second polymeric substrates (2, 4) disposed on opposing sides (5, 6) of the membrane (3). The first substrate (2) is transmissive for laser light of a predetermined wavelength, and the membrane (3) is joined to the first and second substrates (2, 4) by first and second laser weld joints (9, 10) on the first side (5) of the membrane (3) and the second side (6) of the membrane (3), respectively, that are created in a single laser transmission welding step through the first polymeric substrate (2) towards the second polymeric substrate (4). The first side (5) of the membrane (3) may be at least partially absorbent for the laser light and the second side (6) may be at least partially transmissive for the laser light. This may be achieved by a color gradient from black to white from the first side (5) to the second side (6).

In order to provide a method for heating an object (102) that is simple to perform and makes it possible to heat an object (102) efficiently and reliably, it is proposed that the method should include the following: providing an object (102) to be heated; applying at least one energy beam (108, 109) to the object (102) to be heated, wherein at least one energy beam (108) is guided over the object (102) to be heated multiple times, along a predetermined intended heating path (114), and this heats the object (102) along the intended heating path (114); determining a temperature distribution over the intended heating path (114), for identifying one or more deviation points (120) at which an actual local temperature differs from an expected and/or calculated temperature; changing and/or supplementing the application of at least one energy beam (108, 109) in order to compensate for the temperature difference at one or more deviation points (120).
