Loudspeaker assembly configuration

Embodiments are provided for configurations of a loudspeaker and assembly of the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker may include a frame; a voice coil; a magnetic structure having a magnetic gap; a surround; a spider; and a staggered circumferential spacer element. The staggered circumferential spacer element may include an upper tier attached to an outer rim of the surround; and a lower tier attached to an outer rim of the spider. The staggered circumferential spacer may be coupled to the frame such that the voice coil is suspended at least partially within the magnetic gap.

Embodiments are provided for configurations of a loudspeaker and assembly of the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker configuration may include a circumferential spacer element having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface may be attached to an outer rim of a first suspension element. An inner rim of the first suspension element may be attached to an outer rim of a diaphragm. A central portion of the diaphragm may be coupled to a voice coil. The second surface may be attached to an outer rim of a second suspension element. An inner rim of the second suspension element may be coupled to a lower surface of the diaphragm. The circumferential spacer element has a structural shape configured to be coupled to a loudspeaker frame such that the voice coil may be suspended at least partially within a magnetic gap of a magnetic structure of the loudspeaker.
