Abstract

La présente invention concerne un haut-parleur (1) dans lequel la bobine mobile (5) d'un actionneur (4) fait vibrer mécaniquement, à la fréquence du son à reproduire, une pièce fonctionnelle, modifiée ou séparée d'un type plan, ou un autre composant, d'un produit convenant à la reproduction sonore, en l'occurrence une membrane (3) réalisée dans la structure de corps (2) du haut-parleur. Pour obtenir une amplitude de mouvement suffisante pour la reproduction sonore, on a recours à une fine membrane (3) rigide vibrant en phase avec la bobine mobile en fonction des caractéristiques d'élasticité de la membrane. Le large faisceau de rayonnement sonore constitue une source sonore de type ponctuel. La faible profondeur de l'enceinte de haut-parleur fait qu'elle n'occupe que peu de volume, et que le haut-parleur peut être intégré à un autre produit ou une autre structure, comme par exemple une porte, une étagère, un mur, une armoire ou un autre meuble, et qu'il peut donc être vendu comme partie intégrante de ce produit ou de cette structure. Pouvant être recouvert, peint, ou masqué, ce haut-parleur laisse en outre une immense liberté aux architectes et concepteurs de mobilier, de structures et d'espaces.
