Abstract

The invention provides an electroacoustic transducer capable of efficiently carrying out conversion from electric signals to sound or from sound to electric signals at low distortion, which requires no special shape nor processing as a magnet, requires no minute setting of the magnetization direction, and sets a distribution of higher magnetic flux densities for effective action with respect to an electric conductor of an acoustic diaphragm than in a magnet plate magnetized in the radius direction although the production process thereof is remarkably simple as in a magnet plate magnetized in the radius direction.

The electroacoustic transducer is provided with at least any one of the center area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the center axis of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the forward direction of the acoustic diaphragm at the position that becomes the center side of the base area magnet and the outer circumference area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the center axis of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the backward direction of the acoustic diaphragm at the position that becomes the outer circumference side of the base area magnet, in addition to a base area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the vibration plane of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the radius direction toward the center of the acoustic diaphragm with respect to the magnetization direction of respective partial areas of a magnet plate.

Claims

wherein the electroacoustic transducer is provided with at least any one of a center area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the center axis of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the forward direction of the acoustic diaphragm at the position that becomes the center side of the base area magnet and an outer circumference area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the center axis of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the backward direction of the acoustic diaphragm at the position that becomes the outer circumference side of the base area magnet, in addition to a base area magnet magnetized so that a component parallel to the vibration plane of the acoustic diaphragm is turned into the radius direction toward the center of the acoustic diaphragm with respect to the magnetization direction of respective partial areas of a magnet plate.

3. The electroacoustic transducer according to claim 1 or claim 2, including a frame for fixing at least any one of the center area magnet and the outer circumference area magnet at the side that is opposite to the side where the acoustic diaphragm is installed at the magnet plate,

wherein the base area magnet is fixed at the frame by a magnetic force that the center area magnet or the outer circumference area magnet presses the base area magnet to the frame side.

4. The electroacoustic transducer according to claim 1 or claim 2, including at least any one of the front center area magnet disposed at a position symmetrical to the center area magnet with the acoustic diaphragm inserted therebetween and magnetized in the direction plane-symmetrical to the magnetization direction of the center area magnet with respect to the vibration plane of the acoustic diaphragm and the front outer circumference area magnet disposed at a position symmetrical to the outer circumference area magnet with the acoustic diaphragm inserted therebetween and magnetized in the direction plane-symmetrical to the magnetization direction of the outer circumference area magnet with respect to the vibration plane of the acoustic diaphragm.
