A speaker comprising a diaphragm including a first layer defining a coil receiving opening therein, and a second layer attached to the first layer and traversing the coil receiving opening. The speaker further comprises a coil having an end extending into the coil receiving opening and abutting against a surface of the second layer that traverses the coil receiving opening. Thus, transmission efficiency between the coil and diaphragm is improved, which improves the audio quality of the speaker.

Speaker diaphragm and coil coupling arrangement, and method

An acoustic apparatus includes a vibration part configured to generate an acoustic vibration, a tube having a cavity that faces the vibration part, and at least one open tube connected to the tube via a first open end and a second open end. A length of the at least one open tube is an integer-fold of substantially a half of a wavelength of a standing wave produced in the tube. The first open end is positioned substantially at an anti-node of the standing wave produced in the tube.

Acoustic apparatus

A speaker, including: a casing having a baffle plate; and a sound source fixed to the baffle plate of the casing, wherein at least one cutout is formed in the baffle plate, the at least one cutout having a configuration in which a width of the at least one cutout increases with an increase in a distance from the sound source.
