Abstract
An electro-acoustic transducer with a diaphragm with a front side and a rear side, the diaphragm configured to radiate front side acoustic radiation from its front side and rear side acoustic radiation from its rear side. There is a magnet, and a magnetic circuit that defines a path for magnetic flux of the magnet and comprises a gap, wherein the magnetic circuit comprises a pole piece. A voice coil is located in the magnetic circuit gap and configured to move the diaphragm. A basket is supported by the magnetic circuit. The basket supports the diaphragm. There are first and second openings in the basket. The first and second basket openings are both configured to receive one of the front side acoustic radiation and rear side acoustic radiation. The first opening is spaced from the second opening. The first opening has a greater acoustic resistance than the second opening.
