  • Patent number: 11290823
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a loudspeaker driver comprising a magnet system having at least one gap where in each gap a voice coil assembly is arranged for movement in the gap, wherein either two distinct coils are arranged on the voice coil assembly, one above the other, and the magnet system comprises two pole pieces, one above the other, creating a pair of magnetized areas between said pole pieces and a yoke, such that a magnetic flux field is created between each pole piece and the yoke.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170094415
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cap (1) for an electro-acoustic transducer (2), which cap (1) comprises a first portion (3) having a form matching in shape and dimensions at least a top part of a magnetic center pole piece (4) of the transducer (2) and an opening (5) for receiving said magnetic center pole piece (4), wherein the first portion (3) includes at least one recess (6) with reduced material thickness on a lateral face (7) of the first portion (3). Also, the invention relates to: (i) a method (100) of manufacturing a capped center pole piece for an electro-acoustic transducer (2); (ii) a capped center pole piece for an electro-acoustic transducer (2); and (iii) an electro-acoustic transducer (2) comprising the cap (1) or the capped center pole piece.

  • Patent number: 9036859
    Abstract: An electromagnetic drive unit for a loudspeaker of the type where an air gap is arranged in a magnet system such that magnetic flux lines are substantially linear across the air gap, and that a voice coil is arranged in said air gap, wherein the magnet system comprises a central yoke separated by said air gap from a ring-shaped magnet system, which magnet system at least comprises a bottom plate connected to said central yoke, and a magnet and a top plate, characterized in that at least a section of the central yoke corresponding to the extent of the air gap and at least a corresponding section of the top plate is made from a soft magnetic composite material.
