Abstract:
An acoustic transducer comprising, a substantially polygonal frame having inner edges defining an opening, a flexible diaphragm mounted relative to said frame so as to have a driven area disposed within said opening, at least one magnetic driver means mounted adjacent at least one side of said diaphragm so as to be spaced from said diaphragm, an electrical conductor circuit carried by said diaphragm, said electrical conductor circuit being configured so as to extend in generally opposing relationship with respect to said at least one magnetic driver means from an input to an output, and said at least one magnetic driver means being oriented at an angle which is not parallel or perpendicular with respect to said inner edges of said frame so that resulting driving forces are provided to said diaphragm are such that the distribution of the driving forces is angled transversely and without reflection symmetry relative to said inner edges of said frame.
