Patent Images
1. A method of manufacturing a loudspeaker comprising:
- providing an electroacoustic driver having a diaphragm;
coupling the electroacoustic driver to a first portion of an acoustic waveguide;
providing a resistive screen with a fabric having a length and radius, and an acoustic resistance;
coupling the resistive screen to a second portion of the waveguide;
applying a coating material to a first portion of the fabric,wherein the coating material forms a pattern on the first portion of the fabric that changes the acoustic resistance of the fabric along at least one of the length and radius of the fabric.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a loudspeaker includes creating a dual-layered fabric having an acoustic resistance by attaching a first fabric having a first acoustic resistance to a second fabric having a second acoustic resistance lower than the first acoustic resistance. The method further includes applying a coating material to a first portion of the dual-layered fabric. The coating material forms a pattern on the first portion of the dual-layered fabric that changes the acoustic resistance of the dual-layered fabric along at least one of: a length and radius of the dual-layered fabric.
