Electroacoustic transducer

Claim 2

An electroacoustic transducer of the electrodynamic type, comprising a flat magnetic system permeable to sound including a diaphragm, said diaphragm having a mass provided with conducting tracks, said mass of said diaphragm being substantially equal to the mass of a diaphragm of equal size intended for capacitive transducers, means defining a shallow depth chamber at the interior side of said diaphragm, and acoustic group delay time elements coupled to said diaphragm to give the transducer the form of a sound receiver with unidirectional characteristics, a perforated base plate on each side of said diaphragm, an acoustic frictional resistance connecting said shallow depth chamber with said diaphragm, a housing part defining a large cavity, a tube extending from said large cavity to one of said perforated base plates and said diaphragm, said tube and said large cavity being acoustically effective in the low frequency range and being directly connected to said base plate.

Claim 3

An electroacoustic transducer according to claim 1, wherein said acoustic frictional resistance is mounted to said base plate adjacent the interior side of said diaphragm, said tube extending to the perforated base plate adjacent the interior side of said diaphragm.

Claim 4

An electrodynamic transducer for use as a microphone, comprising a diaphragm housing, a diaphragm extending across said housing, said housing having acoustic delay time elements adjacent to and acoustically coupled to said diaphragm including a perforated base plate on each side of and spaced from said diaphragm, a plurality of magnets arranged at spaced locations along said base plate, chamber forming means defining a shallow depth air chamber on one side of said diaphragm overlying at least a portion of the associated one of said base plates, a housing part defining a large cavity connected through said shallow depth chamber to said diaphragm, said shallow depth chamber communicating to the outside and having acoustic resistance therein, a tube extending from said large cavity through said shallow depth chamber and through said base plate communicating said large cavity to said diaphragm, said shallow depth chamber having one wall with an opening therein and having an acoustic resistance adjacent said opening and adjacent said base plate.

Claim 5

An electrodynamic transducer for use as a microphone, comprising a diaphragm housing, a diaphragm extending across said housing, said housing having acoustic delay time elements adjacent to and acoustically coupled to said diaphragm including a perforated base plate on each side of and spaced from said diaphragm, a plurality of magnets arranged at spaced locations along said base plate, chamber forming means defining a shallow depth air chamber on one side of said diaphragm overlying at least a portion of the associated one of said base plates, a housing part defining a large cavity connected through said shallow depth chamber to said diaphragm, said shallow depth chamber communicating to the outside and having acoustic resistance therein, a tube extending from said large cavity through said shallow depth chamber and through said base plate communicating said large cavity to said diaphragm, said shallow depth chamber having one wall with an opening therein and having an acoustic resistance adjacent said opening and adjacent said base plate.

Claim 6

An electrodynamic transducer for use as a microphone, comprising a diaphragm housing, a diaphragm extending across said housing, said housing having acoustic delay time elements adjoining to and acoustically coupled to said diaphragm including a perforated base plate on each side of and spaced from said diaphragm, a plurality of magnets arranged at spaced locations along said base plate, chamber forming means defining a shallow depth air chamber on one side of said diaphragm overlying at least a portion of the associated one of said base plates, a housing part defining a large cavity connected through said shallow depth chamber to said diaphragm, a central tubular member connecting said large cavity with said shallow depth chamber, means defining another chamber adjacent and at least partially surrounding said central tubular member having acoustic resistance connecting said another chamber to said shallow depth chamber and an apertured tubular channel adjacent to and at least partially surrounding both said shallow depth chamber and said another chamber and opening to the outside and having acoustic resistances.

Claim 7

An electrodynamic transducer for use as a microphone, comprising a diaphragm housing, a diaphragm extending across said housing, said housing having acoustic delay time elements adjoining to and acoustically coupled to said diaphragm including a perforated base plate on each side of and spaced from said diaphragm, a plurality of magnets arranged at spaced locations along said base plate, chamber forming means defining a shallow depth air chamber on one side of said diaphragm overlying at least a portion of the associated one of said base plates, a housing part defining a large cavity connected through said shallow depth chamber to said diaphragm, a central tubular member connecting said large cavity with said shallow depth chamber, means defining another chamber adjacent and at least partially surrounding said central tubular member having acoustic resistance connecting said another chamber to said shallow depth chamber and an apertured tubular channel adjacent to and at least partially surrounding both said shallow depth chamber and said another chamber and opening to the outside and having acoustic resistances.
