ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic transducer such as an audio speaker employs a slotted yoke and two suspension components enabling very large excursion relative to the size of the diaphragm which results in improved low frequency output. A first suspension component includes an inner ring, flexible springs, and an outer body. The flexible springs extend through the slots of the yoke and couple the inner ring to the outer body. The inner ring, outer body, and flexible springs of the first suspension component may be of monolithic construction or they may be distinct components coupled together. The inner ring couples to the bobbin of the diaphragm assembly, and the outer body couples to the outer cylindrical surface of the yoke or to a mounting ring which is coupled to the outer cylindrical surface of the yoke. A second suspension component, such as a surround, couples the diaphragm assembly and to the mounting ring. The mounting ring and the outer body of the first suspension component are keyed and dimensioned to provide correct positioning and alignment of the inner ring. This accomplishes accurate positioning of the voice coil in both the radial and axial directions without complicated and expensive assembly equipment.
