Abstract

A speaker includes a basket, a membrane system with a sandwich-like membrane that becomes thicker from the outside inwards, an oscillation coil mounted in the center and at the level of the membrane on a support. A first centering centers the membrane in the basket in a first plane, and a second centering connected with the support centers the membrane in a second plane via the support. A symmetrically designed stray field magnet system with two magnets with opposingly-oriented poles and a pole plate are centrally placed between the magnets. The stray field magnet system centrally penetrates the membrane, the oscillation coil is at the level of the pole plate in its non-deployed state, and the stray field magnet system is situated in centered fashion to the basket. A centered lip forms a closed and flexible connection between the stray field magnet system and the membrane system.
