Abstract
An arrangement for headphones for converting frequency modulated audio oscillations into amplitude modulated oscillations, and particularly for rendering audible the vibrato of electronic musical instruments, such as electronic organs, includes a housing having an electroacoustic transducer therein with a diaphragm having a smooth frequency response zone which is connected to at least one mechanical transit-time member having a transit time from one end to the other not greater than 20 ms. The transit-time member is advantageously a helical spring which extends axially through the electroacoustic transducer or through a central ferromagnetic core thereof. The portion of the spring within the core is advantageously made of a thicker wire and of a smaller diameter than the remaining core so that it does not contact the walls thereof.
