Abstract

An improved loudspeaker that has a plurality of stacks of cards having electrostatic transducers, in which one stack of cards has a different width as another stack of cards in the plurality of stacks. At frequencies above 200 Hz, and at the same drive voltage and current, the stack of lesser width produced significantly greater microphone voltage as compared to the stack of greater width cards. By combining the plurality of stacks of cards with different widths, this provides for the elimination of conventional cone drivers, and provides for improved sound both above and below 200 Hz using only electrostatic transducers. It also assists in maintaining a null sound plane that is beneficial for voice recognition.
