ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to loudspeaker diaphragms and methods of making such diaphragms. It is an object of the invention to improve damping of standing waves formed in a loudspeaker diaphragm. To this end a diaphragm in accordance with the invention is made of textile material impregnated with a stiffening material which does not completely fill the spaces between the threads of the textile material, said spaces being partially filled with damping material. The textile material is preferably a woven glass-fiber fabric or a fabric woven or knitted from an aramid fiber. The stiffening material is preferably a synthetic resin, for example, a phenolic, epoxy or melamine resin and the damping material is preferably a polyvinyl-acetate emulsion or a vinyl resin-based thermoplastic material of the kind used as a cone edge dampener.
