Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0728535A1] The process involves utilising te electroacoustic transducer which comprises at least one housing (3) solidly attached to the end of a motor (1). A rigid hollow box (5) surrounds the housing and defines with at least one cavity (7,19) which communicates by means of an orifice (6,20) with the external fluid which fills the cavity. The cavity has dimensions and capacity chosen to provide the required resonant frequency. The passive radiator (15) consists of a material which is more dense than the surrounding fluid (4) and blocks the orifice (6,20). This is suspended by its edges at the periphery of the orifice by an elastic material (23).
