  • Patent number: 10820111
    Abstract: A circular acoustic membrane having an upper surface and an opposite lower surface, said membrane being intended to be coupled, at the lower surface thereof, to a mobile winding via a support. The membrane has an annular fold concentrically delimiting, in the membrane, a circular central portion and an annular peripheral portion. In addition, the central portion has a concavity turned towards the upper surface and the internal edge of the fold is carried by the lower surface and comprises an attachment surface intended for the coupling of said support of the coil.

  • Patent number: 10306353
    Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic impedance matching device arranged so as to be mounted behind a loudspeaker. Said device comprises a chamber at least partially filled with an absorbent material. Said device is characterized in that the cross-section of the chamber increases with the distance from the loudspeaker, and the density of the absorbent material increases with the distance from the loudspeaker.

  • Patent number: 10171913
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension device for a loudspeaker, comprising an annular outer edge that is able to fasten the suspension device to a frame, an annular inner edge that is able to fasten the suspension device to a membrane, a suspension hoop that extends annularly between the edges, said suspension hoop being able to absorb movement stresses produced at the inner edge by means of a deformation that thus forms a resonance mode, the suspension hoop comprising at least one annular protuberance that is positioned so as to minimize the at least one resonance mode of the suspension hoop, the mass of the at least one annular protuberance being between 150% and 400% the mass of a part of the suspension hoop on which the at least one annular protuberance is positioned.
