Abstract
Abstract The ribbon-type loudspeaker that has the characteristics of large cooling effect such that electrical input power is increased. The ribbon-type loudspeaker comprises magnet means having plates positioned in facing relation to each other to form a gap therebetween; an electrically conductive diaphragm extended between said plates to complete a magnetic circuit, said diaphragm forming an electric circuit transversely of said magnetic circuit, at least one side of said diaphragm being formed with an electrically insulating layer; and a heat absorbing plate extended between said plates and attached in contacting relation thereto over an extended area, said heat absorbing plate being formed with an electrically insulating layer in facing relation to the electrically insulating layer of the diaphragm.
