Abstract

A capacitive type electroacoustic transducer is provided with a moisture resistant layer (34) to allow use of the transd­ ucer in wet environments. The moisture resistant layer is fastened over a protective cover (18) and is located at a node of the acoustic waves emitted by the transducer. A woven polytetrafluoroethylene material is preferably used for the moisture resistant properties as well as minimum attenuation of the acoustic waves.
