Abstract
An electroacoustic transducer has a housing, piezoelectric speaker, dynamic speaker, and support member. The piezoelectric speaker includes a vibration plate having a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side of the first surface, as well as a piezoelectric element joined to at least one of the first surface and second surface, and divides the interior of the housing into a first space facing the first surface and a second space facing the second surface. The dynamic speaker is placed in the first space. The support member is constituted by a part of the housing or by a member different from the housing, has a supporting part facing the first surface or second surface, and supports the periphery of the first surface or second surface with the supporting part.
