Abstract
A conical loudspeaker (10) has a dust protection cap (23) of hot-pressed polymer foam. Dust protection caps (23) made from this material are largely insensitive to finger pressure and can be attached to the conical speaker membrane using simple adhesives. Preferably the outer rim of the conical speaker membrane is secured by a lock beading (14) made from the same foam as the dust protection cap (23). This has the advantage that if the pressing die is suitably configured, the dust protection cap (23) can be made from the portion of the foam mat that otherwise, if only a lock beading (14) was being produced, would be left over in the center of the foam mat.
