ABSTRACT:
A transducer assembly providing a conversion between the electrical and sonic energy, the transducer assembly being adapted for operating submerged at great depths in ocean waters. The transducer assembly is formed by a front and back plate which are affixed in one embodiment to the ends of a first mechanically distributed impedance member, a second mechanically distributed impedance member located between the front and the back plate and a transducer of electroacoustical material mechanically coupling the first and second members for imparting sonic vibrations to these members. In a preferred embodiment, the transducer is bonded at one end thereof to the back plate and at the other end thereof to the second member. External hydrostatic pressure present at the front and back plates does not compress the electroacoustical material.
