Abstract
The method of assembling a speaker includes disposing a quantity of volatile magnetic fluid containing a pre-determined amount of lubricating oil into a radial gap of a driver unit, aligning a vibration system having a diaphragm and a voice coil to the driver unit such that the voice coil is movably mounted into the radial gap, fixing the vibration system to the driver unit, and removing the volatile component of the volatile magnetic fluid. The speaker includes a driver unit having a magnetic pole case defining a radial gap, a vibration system having a diaphragm and a voice coil where the vibration system is fixed to the drive unit and the voice coil is movably mounted into the radial gap, and a residual magnetic fluid layer disposed on the surfaces of one or more of the magnetic pole case and the voice coil where an air gap exists between the voice coil and the magnetic pole case.
