Abstract
A sound-producing balanced armature receiver, as disclosed, includes a receiver housing with a first internal volume, a second internal volume, and a sound outlet. The receiver includes a first diaphragm separating the first internal volume into a first front volume and a first back volume and a second diaphragm separating the second internal volume into a second front volume and a second back volume. The receiver also includes a motor inside the first back volume of the housing such that the motor includes an armature mechanically coupled to both the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm, an acoustic seal between the first front volume and the second back volume such that the acoustic seal accommodates the mechanical coupling of the armature to the second diaphragm while providing acoustic separation between the first internal volume and the second internal volume, and a back-volume increasing structure attached externally to the housing and acoustically coupled with the second back volume to provide additional volume to the second back volume.
