Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer includes a driver, a diaphragm 13 driven to vibrate by the driver and emitting sound, a baffle 22 holding the driver and the diaphragm 13, first openings 25 extending through the baffle 22, an acoustic resistor 23 disposed on the back side of the baffle 22, and second openings 26 extending from the front side to the back side of the acoustic resistor 23. The baffle 22 is provided on the back side of the diaphragm 13. The first openings 25 are provided in the baffle 22. The second openings 26 are each disposed above one of the first openings 25 in the acoustic resistor 23. The electroacoustic transducer exhibits an excellent frequency response even if a sufficient volume of a space is not provided on the back side of the diaphragm 13.

Abstract: A wiring structure is provided for an electroacoustic transducer directly converting digital signals from a single sound source to sound waves without conversion to analog signals. The structure includes a diaphragm, and a plurality of voice coils fixed to the diaphragm. The voice coils are connected to respective cables each consisting of a stranded pair of positive and negative input lines.

Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer includes a driver, a diaphragm 13 driven to vibrate by the driver and emitting sound, a baffle 21 holding the diaphragm 13, first apertures 25 extending from the front surface to the rear surface of the baffle 21, and a first acoustic resistor 22 disposed on the front surface of the baffle so as to cover the first apertures. The electroacoustic transducer includes a plurality of sound paths for guiding the sound generated by the diaphragm 13 to the rear surface of the baffle 21.

Abstract: Provided is a headphone unit including a housing having a convex portion and accommodating a driver unit, a support in contact with part of the outer surface of the convex portion, and a frictional member in contact with the support and the outer surface of the convex portion. The frictional member generates greater friction against the convex portion than the friction between the support and the convex portion. The housing is swingably joined to the support.

Abstract: A digital microphone includes: a cavity resonator operatable in a micrometer, millimeter, or electromagnetic waveband, the cavity resonator having a metal wall including a conductive membrane 32 that vibrates in response to incident acoustic waves and converts the shift of the membrane 32 into a resonance frequency of the cavity resonator; an FM-signal generator that modulates the resonance frequency of the cavity resonator in response to the shift of the membrane 32 and outputs FM signals from the metal wall other than the membrane; and a ??-modulated-signal generator that generates ??-modulated signals from the FM signals. The FM-signal generator includes a slot 36, a micro-strip line 38, and a negative resistive element 40. The ??-modulated-signal generator includes an edge detector 42.
