ABSTRACT:
A speaker has a substantially reduced size, is efficient in the low sound range and is unidirectional relative to the plane of installation or support of the speaker. The speaker includes a vibrator having a semispherical vibrating body made of a piezoelectric material polarized in a thickness direction. Electrodes are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the vibrating body. A cavity is created inside of the vibrator. A sound path in the form of a horn includes inner parts of a first cylinder which communicates with the cavity, a second cylinder, a third cylinder, a fourth cylinder, a fifth cylinder and other cylinders. Cutouts functioning as openings of the sound path are disposed almost along the whole azimuth of the fifth cylinder at the outside of the horn relative to the plane of speaker support.
