Abstract

An electrodynamic sound transducer that includes a chassis, a membrane with a hole in the centre of the membrane, a moving coil, a magnetic system, and a resonator that is placed in the hole in the centre of the membrane.

Claims (19)

1. An earphone comprising:

an electrodynamic sound transducer comprising:

a chassis with an inner open end and an outer end;

a membrane with a hole in a center of the membrane and a coil seat, wherein the membrane is fastened to the inner open end and the outer end;

a moving coil, which is coupled to the membrane at the coil seat;

a magnetic system; and

a resonator, which is formed in the inner open end of the chassis and in the hole in the center of the membrane;

wherein the resonator has:

a first end with an opening on an ear-side end of the electrodynamic sound transducer;

a second end on a side of the electrodynamic sound transducer facing away from the ear; and

a volume between the first end and the second end;

wherein the second end is closed;

wherein the resonator is configured as an acoustic absorption circuit or as a Helmholtz resonator.

2. The electrodynamic sound transducer according to claim 1 ;

wherein the opening is smaller than the hole in the center of the membrane.

3. The electrodynamic sound transducer according to claim 1 ;

wherein the first end with the opening is located in a plane of the membrane.

4. The electrodynamic sound transducer according to claim 1 ;

wherein an acoustic resistance element is provided at the opening.
