Abstract

La présente invention vise à obtenir une caractéristique de fréquence favorable d'une pression acoustique. À cet effet, un générateur acoustique concernant un mode de réalisation de la présente invention comporte un exciteur, un corps vibrant plat et une matière d'amortissement. L'exciteur vibre lors d'une entrée d'un signal électrique. Le corps vibrant a l'exciteur fixé à celui-ci, de telle sorte qu'à mesure que l'exciteur fixé vibre, le corps vibrant vibre avec l'exciteur. La matière d'amortissement est fixée à une surface principale du corps vibrant sur le côté opposé à celui auquel l'exciteur est fixé.
