Abstract:
The invention relates to a new membrane for a loudspeaker. The membrane comprises a cent-ral portion having a sound emitting surface and a back surface. The membrane further compri-ses a first edge directly adjacent to the central portion and surrounding the central portion. The membrane further comprises a second edge surrounding the first edge and an intermedi-ate portion located between the first edge and the second edge, wherein the intermediate por-tion comprises at least one convex shaped section with regard to the sound emitting surface area of the central portion and at least one concave shaped section with regard to the sound emitting surface area of the central portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A membrane for a loudspeaker, wherein the membrane comprises:\n a central portion comprising a sound emitting surface area and a back surface area located opposite the sound emitting surface area, wherein the sound emitting surface area and the back surface area of the central portion constitute at least 60 percent of the overall surface area of the membrane; a first edge directly adjacent to the central portion and surrounding the central portion, wherein the first edge constitutes a boundary line between the central portion and an adjacent area comprising a different surface curvature than the central portion; a second edge surrounding the first edge; a clamping collar for mounting the membrane to the loudspeaker, wherein the second edge directly merges into the clamping collar; an intermediate portion located between the first edge and the second edge, wherein the intermediate portion comprises at least one convex shaped section with regard to the sound emitting surface area of the central portion and at least one concave shaped section with regard to the sound emitting surface area of the central portion.
