LOUDSPEAKER WITH ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

摘要

A loudspeaker incorporates features to improve performance and quality while reducing component and manufacturing costs. One embodiment of a loudspeaker has a frame with a generic mounting edge that mates with a secondary mounting component. The frame and mounting component are separated by an outer section of the diaphragm suspension annulus that provides vibration isolation. An additional outer section of the annulus can serve as a gasket to the mounting structure. Other embodiments have a plastic frame with an integrally molded spider, and a spider molded with individual legs that provides better control of the restorative force characteristic. The spider may also incorporate more than one plane of lateral stiffness to reduce a tendency for a voice coil to rock.
