Abstract
A planar-type loudspeaker incorporating a substantially planar diaphragm constructed from a pre-expanded cellular plastic material, such as polystyrene, in which one or more balancing weights are embedded in a resilient material within recesses formed in the rear surface of the diaphragm. The resilient material enables the weights a degree of movement relative to the diaphragm, such that the weights can serve a counteractive function to help control the frequency response characteristic of the diaphragm.
