Abstract

A loudspeaker comprising an enclosure 31 provided with a second diaphragm disposed at an opening, and at least one sound generator 40 coupled acoustically with the enclosure. The sound generator is provided with a first diaphragm 27, wherein the second diaphragm has an area greater than an area of the first diaphragm. In the present invention, the shape of the enclosure, and the positioning and shape of the first and the second diaphragms can be designed at a designer's option. Thus a small-sized electronic apparatus can be obtained with a greater designing freedom, while a large-sized diaphragm prevents a decrease of generated sound pressure.
