ABSTRACT:
A speaker has a structure such that vibrations of a ring-shaped vibrator are reliably damped by ensuring contact between the rim of the vibrator and a bottom of a groove provided in a supporting member, even in a hot and moist environment. A ring-shaped rim of a vibrator is secured in the bottom of the groove formed in the supporting member, via a doughnut-shaped double-sided tape. The groove is filled with urethane resin which is hardened. Even when the urethane resin is expanded in a hot and moist environment, the vibrator does not rise up from the bottom of the groove. Consequently, the vibrations of the vibrator are reliably damped, the desired excellent impedance characteristics are obtained, and as a result, evenness of sound waves is ensured.
