ABSTRACT:
An acoustic device comprising a diaphragm (10) having an area and having an operating frequency range and the diaphragm (10) being such that it has resonant modes in the operating frequency range, an electromechanical transducer having a drive part coupled to the diaphragm (10) and adapted to exchange energy with the diaphragm, and at least one mechanical impedance means (20,22,24) coupled to or integral with the diaphragm, the positioning and mass of the drive part (26) of the transducer and of the at least one mechanical impedance means (20,22,24) being such that the net transverse modal velocity over the area of the diaphragm (10) tends to zero.A method of making an acoustic device having a diaphragm having an area and having an operating frequency range which includes the piston-to-modal transition, comprising choosing the diaphragm parameters such that it has resonant modes in the operating frequency range, coupling a drive part of an electro-mechanical transducer to the diaphragm to exchange energy with the diaphragm, adding at least one mechanical impedance means to the diaphragm, and selecting the positioning and mass of the drive part of the transducer and the positioning and parameters of the at least one mechanical impedance means so that the net transverse modal velocity over the area tends to zero.
