Abstract: A loudspeaker comprises an enclosure, at least one dynamic driver mounted in the enclosure, and at least one porous monolithic block. The at least one porous monolithic block comprises a plurality of pores and is mounted within the enclosure.

Abstract: A membrane for an electro-acoustic transducer comprised of at least one elastomer layer made using spray coating of a liquid elastomer solution is provided. The at least one layer of elastomer is made by spraying a liquid elastomer solution, which may comprise a silicone, onto a mold having the desired membrane geometry, allowing the solution to cure and remove the membrane from the mold. The mold can be configured to hold other components of an electro-acoustic transducer that will be attached to the membrane after the curing step.

Abstract: An electrodynamic transducer having a coil, a membrane, and a plate is disclosed, wherein the transducer is adapted to generate a sound pressure level in the human-audible acoustic range and the ultrasonic range so that the transducer may be used as a speaker and an ultrasonic proximity sensor. The transducer may be adapted to generate a sound pressure level above about 88 dB between 20 kHz and 70 kHz. The plate may include a structural rigidity increasing feature such as a domed portion or a population of ribs, which may increase the generated sound pressure level in the ultrasonic range. The transducer may also include a front resonator which may be used to further tune and/or increase the generated sound pressure level in the ultrasonic range.
