Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0881001A1] The electro-dynamic transducer comprises a body (101-103) which has polar pieces (105,105) that define a gap (107) and a moving armature with a dome (109). The dome is extended by a cylinder supporting a coil (120) which slides in the gap. A flexible membrane seals between the body and the armature. Above the dome is a bell (110) which slides in the body of the transducer, having a degree of play between the two which is extremely small. This allows a reduction in the effects of a shock wave arising from an external explosion.
