  • Patent number: 10645508
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrodynamic transducer from a membrane system module and a magnet system module is disclosed. The membrane system module comprises an annular first chassis unit made by injection-molding and a diaphragm fixed thereon. A coil is fixed on a coil seat of the diaphragm. The magnet system module comprises a pole piece, a magnet and a yoke that each have a central hole, and a second chassis unit that is made by injection-molding and that fills the central holes in the pole piece, the magnet and the yoke. It surrounds the yoke at least partially, so that the pole piece, the magnet and the yoke are held. In the transducer, the membrane system module and the magnet system module are plugged together, wherein an annular recess on the lower side of the first chassis unit is arranged on a circumferential shoulder of the second chassis unit. This defines a position of the coil relative to the pole piece, to the magnet and to the yoke of the magnet system module.

  • Patent number: 9661419
    Abstract: A microphone having a microphone capsule is provided. The microphone capsule has a diaphragm carrier, a diaphragm and an adhesive tape ring which is used to fasten the diaphragm to or in the diaphragm carrier. The microphone capsule is in the form of a dynamic sound transducer. A dynamic sound transducer for headphones, earphones or headsets is also provided. The sound transducer has a diaphragm carrier, a diaphragm and a moving coil which is coupled to the diaphragm. In a similar manner to the microphone capsule, the sound transducer has an adhesive tape ring between the diaphragm and the diaphragm carrier, which ring is used to fasten the diaphragm to the diaphragm carrier.
