Abstract
An insulated glass unit (IGU) with integrated audio speaker may include first and second spaced-apart panels, a spacer affixed to inner surfaces of each of the first and second panels about a periphery of the first and second panels to define an airspace bounded by the spacer and the first and second panels, and a transducer assembly disposed in the airspace, the transducer assembly including a voice coil affixed to the inner surface of the first panel and a magnet operatively coupled to the voice coil, the voice coil responsive to audio drive signals to move relative to the magnet, and the first panel responsive to movement of the voice coil to vibrate so as to serve as a diaphragm of the audio speaker.
