Disclosed is a speaker configured to reduce or eliminate distortions when a diaphragm thereof vertically moves in sound reproduction and which can be downsized. This speaker includes: a cylindrical frame having a bottom face and an open top; a magnetic circuit disposed on a inner bottom face of the frame; a voice coil having a coil portion thereof disposed in a magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit; the diaphragm disposed in an opening of the frame, and fixed to the voice coil along an inner periphery thereof, and to the frame via a first edge along an outer periphery thereof; and a support fixed to the diaphragm on the side of the magnetic circuit at one end and to the vicinity of the magnetic circuit via the second edge on the other end. The first edge is substantially analogous to the second edge in shape with respect to the boundary therebetween.
1. A speaker comprising:
a frame having a bottom face and an open top;
a magnetic circuit disposed on the bottom face of the frame;
a voice coil having a coil portion thereof disposed in a magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit;
a diaphragm disposed in an opening of the frame, and fixed to the voice coil along an inner periphery thereof, and fixed to the frame via a first edge along an outer periphery thereof; and
a support having a first end fixed to a magnetic circuit side of the diaphragm, and a second end fixed to the magnetic circuit via a second edge;
wherein the first edge has substantially the same shape as the second edge.
2. The speaker of claim 1 , wherein the support is fixed to an end of the magnetic circuit via the second edge.
3. The speaker of claim 1 , wherein the support is fixed, via the second edge, to a fixed part provided along an outer periphery of the magnetic circuit.
4. The speaker of claim 3 , wherein the fixed part is integrally formed with the frame.
5. The speaker of claim 3 , wherein a distance from the bottom face of the frame to a side end face of the second edge of the fixed part is smaller than a distance from the bottom face to an end of the magnetic circuit.
6. The speaker of claim 1 , wherein the first edge and the second edge are made of substantially a same material.
7. The speaker of claim 1 , wherein the frame is cylindrical.
8. A speaker, comprising:
a frame having a bottom face and an open top;
a magnetic circuit disposed on the bottom face of the frame;
a voice coil having a coil portion thereof disposed in magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit;
a diaphragm being disposed in an opening of the frame, and fixed to the voice coil along an inner periphery thereof, and fixed to the frame via a first edge along an outer periphery thereof; and
a support having a first end fixed to a magnetic circuit side of the diaphragm, and a second end fixed at to a vicinity of the magnetic circuit via a second edge;
wherein the first edge has substantially the same shape as the second edge; and
wherein the support is fixed, via the second edge, to a fixed part provided along an outer periphery of the magnetic circuit.
9. The speaker of claim 8 , wherein the fixed part is integrally formed with the frame.
10. The speaker of claim 8 , wherein a distance from the bottom face of the frame to a side end face of the second edge of the fixed part is smaller than a distance from the bottom face to an end of the magnetic circuit.
11. The speaker of claim 8 , wherein the frame is cylindrical.
