- the region of the border facing away from the electroacoustic transducer is inclined inwards when the electroacoustic transducer is in the first state, relative to the position which the region of the border comprises. when the electroacoustic transducer is in the second state.
- the electroacoustic transducer assembly is excited so that the cavity enclosed by the rim and the electroacoustic transducer becomes minimal in the first state and becomes maximum in the second state. Thereby, a high sound pressure can be generated and attenuation due to different impedances can be reduced or avoided.
