Abstract
A loudspeaker and a method of manufacturing a loudspeaker having a front-mounted sealing element is disclosed. A molded sealing element made of thermoplastic elastomer is disposed on the front end face of the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker according to the invention, unlike conventional loudspeakers having foam sealing strips, is easier to manufacture and produces a better acoustic seal, as well as improved temperature and humidity stability.
