Abstract
Embodiments for voice coil wire configurations are provided. In one example, a voice coil wire configuration may involve a wire that is flexible in a first plane and substantially inflexible in a second plane. The wire may be a flat wire configured to be flexible in the first plane and substantially inflexible in the second plane. The wire may be coupled to the voice coil in an orientation such that the first plane of the wire is aligned with an axial direction of the voice coil such that wire flex caused by axial movement of the voice coil during operation of the loudspeaker may be substantially in the first plane, and minimally in the second plane. In some examples, the wire may be intermediately adhered to one or more other components of the loudspeaker between the input terminal and the voice coil.
