A speaker unit () comprising a speaker frame () with a major front surface () and an opposing major back surface (), a membrane () movably arranged in the major front surface () along a main speaker axis (A) substantially perpendicular to the major front surface (); one or more drive units () configured to drive the membrane (), wherein each drive unit of the one or more drive units () comprises a driver static part () and a driver moving part (), wherein the driver static part () is mounted to the speaker frame () and wherein the driver moving part () is connected to the membrane (); wherein the driver static part () comprises an tubular shell () enclosing a chamber () and having one or more magnets () arranged in the chamber (), and wherein the driver moving part () is moveably arranged along the tubular shell ().

Speaker unit

A speaker unit with a speaker frame and two opposing membranes each being arranged to move up and down along a main speaker axis. Two drive units are present for each membrane, having a driver static part and a driver moving part. A sealing edge suspension is connected to a perimeter of the associated membrane and to the major front surface and major back surface of the speaker unit, respectively. For each driver moving part, a spider arm suspension is present for suspending the driver moving part to the speaker frame in a flexible manner. The sealing edge suspension is at least partially positioned above the associated drive units when viewed in a direction parallel to the main speaker axis.

Speaker unit with a speaker frame and two opposing sound producing membranes

A loudspeaker device includes first and second diaphragms arranged co-axially in an opposed relation to each other and having a rear volume in-between, each diaphragm having a plurality of motors operatively coupled thereto, and a frame having first and second ends, and first and second rims provided at the first and second ends, respectively. The motors of the first and second diaphragms are arranged in the same plane, and the motors are provided on the frame around the periphery of the first and second diaphragms.

Low profile loudspeaker device

A speaker unit with a speaker frame and two membranes arranged in the speaker frame. A first membrane radiates in a major acoustic radiation direction substantially perpendicular to a major plane of the speaker unit. A second membrane has a secondary acoustic radiation direction different from the major acoustic radiation direction. Two drive units are positioned within the speaker frame, attached to the two membranes, and positioned coaxial to each other at the same height in the speaker frame. An acoustic duct provides for a closed acoustic channel from the second membrane in the secondary acoustic radiation direction to a secondary surface of the speaker unit in a same plane as the major plane of the speaker unit.

A linear motor magnet assembly for use in a loudspeaker unit, with a fixed base actuator component and a membrane actuating element, the membrane actuating element having a linear excursion axis. A first auxiliary magnetic element and a second auxiliary magnetic element are present, the first auxiliary magnetic element providing a first auxiliary spatial magnetic field with a major axis aligned with the linear excursion axis. The second auxiliary magnetic element is fixedly connected to the membrane actuating element of the linear motor magnet assembly and has a second auxiliary spatial magnetic field, the second auxiliary magnetic field overlapping the first auxiliary spatial magnetic field and being substantially similarly oriented as the first auxiliary spatial magnetic field over a first predetermined excursion range of the linear motor magnet assembly.

Loudspeaker

Membrane unit for a speaker device, the membrane unit comprising a membrane and at least two coils. The respective longitudinal axes of the at least two coils are arranged in parallel along a main axis, a main surface being formed perpendicular to the main axis. The at least two coils are positioned adjacent to each other and mechanically connected to the membrane, the membrane being substantially flat and having a major surface parallel to the main surface. Wiring to the at least two coils is provided at least partly on a flat part of the membrane.

Membrane unit for speaker device

A speaker transducer, comprising a speaker membrane and two drive members connected to an outer membrane circumference of the speaker membrane for driving the speaker membrane. A substantially rigid support member is connected to each of the two drive members and extends there between, wherein the support member is connected to and extends along the speaker membrane.

Speaker transducer

A loudspeaker device comprises first and second diaphragms () arranged co-axially in an opposed relation to each other to cancel mechanical vibrations. Each diaphragm has multiple voice coils, with the voice coils of the first and second diaphragms () arranged in the same plane to reduce the height of the loudspeaker device.

A speaker device () having a frame (), two opposite directed diaphragms ('), and two speaker drivers, each having at least one magnetic driver (&#x2032;) for driving the two opposite directed diaphragms (&#x2032;) in operation. A speaker damper (&#x2032;) is associated with each of the two opposite directed diaphragms (&#x2032;), and has a coil bracket (&#x2032;) arranged to be driven by the associated at least one magnetic driver (&#x2032;), a diaphragm connection member (&#x2032;) arranged to fixedly attach the diaphragm (&#x2032;) to the speaker damper (&#x2032;), and a damper frame connection member (&#x2032;) arranged to fixate the speaker damper (&#x2032;) to the frame (). The speaker damper (&#x2032;) further comprises a damper leg member (&#x2032;) arranged between the diaphragm connection member (&#x2032;) and the damper frame connection member (&#x2032;).

Distributed transducer suspension cones (DTSC)

A speaker unit includes a speaker frame and two opposing membranes each being arranged to move up and down along a main speaker axis (A). Two drive units are present for each membrane, having a driver static part and a driver moving part. A sealing edge suspension is connected to a perimeter of the associated membrane and to the major front surface and major back surface of the speaker unit, respectively. For each driver moving part, a spider arm suspension is present for suspending the driver moving part to the speaker frame in a flexible manner. The sealing edge suspension is at least partially positioned above the associated drive units when viewed in a direction parallel to the main speaker axis (A).

Loudspeaker unit with a membrane () and a plurality of drive units () driving the membrane (). Each of the plurality of drive units () has n voice coils () and at least n+1 magnets (), n being an integer larger than or equal to 1. The magnets () have an axial magnetization and are stacked in axial direction with similar pole parts of adjacent ones of the at least n+1 magnets facing each other. The at least n+1 magnets () are separated in the stack over a magnet separation distance (d), the magnet separation distance (d) being substantially equal to a width (w) in the stack direction of the at least n voice coils ().
