Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9709849A1] A loudspeaker (81) comprising an enclosure, an acoustic radiator (2) in the enclosure, a compliant suspension (3) mounting the radiator in the enclosure for pistonic movement relative thereto, and transducer means (9) for driving the radiator pistonically, characterized in that the radiator is a panel-form distributed mode acoustic radiator, by a first transducer mounted wholly and exclusively on the radiator to vibrate the radiator to cause it to resonate, and by means (11) for varying the air pressure in the enclosure to cause the radiator to move pistonically.
