1. A loudspeaker diaphragm comprising:
- a micro-fibrillated cellulose element formed by a paper making process of a micro-filbrillated cellulose having a Canadian standard freeness value of not more than 300 ml and said cellulose element having an outer convex surface and a recess molded therein; and
a reinforcement element laminated to an outer, convex surface of said cellulose element opposite said recess, wherein said reinforcement comprises a cloth made from the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers, polyester fibers, aramide fibers and silk.

Abstract
An acoustic diaphragm is obtained by forming micro-fibrillated cellulose into a web by a process similar to a paper-making process. The micro-fibrillated cellulose is the cellulose obtained by beating to the Canadian standard freeness of not more than 300 ml, or bacterial cellulose. Since the micro-fibrillated cellulose is poor in wet strength, it is reinforced by a reinforcement element and, in this state, is formed into the web on a wire screen. The reinforcement element may be detached after forming the web, or may be left laminated with the cellulose web so that the resulting composite product is used as the acoustic diaphragm.
