This invention provides a transducer device having the characteristics of small size» light weight and pure quality of sound with zero coloration. This transducer device consists of electro mechanical apparatus of magnetic type or piezo electric type to convert electric signal to mechanical vibration and diaphragm, of type simple, composite, piezo electric or any of commotions to convert the mechanical vibrations to sound. The magnetic type consists of the voice coil which moves in a uniform magnetic field created by the magnetic apparatus according to the current flowing through it. lens voice coil is attached to the diaphragm to convert the vibrations created in it into sound. But in piezoelectric apparatus consists of a thin layer of piezo-electric crystal attached to a metal plate or sandwiched between two metal plates shrinks and expend when the electric signal is fed to the crystal and thus creating vibrations which transferred to the diaphragm attached to it and convert it into sound.

OBJECT OF THE INVEKTION This particular Invention Is regarding ellnnfnating 'carnet coloration' a phenomenon with audio speakers, it consists of a speedily designed diaphragm made from soft materials Uri rubber or soft P.V.C and In the case of composite diaphragms they are made both from rubber and hard materials Juice Teflon. An electroHTiechanicEA appardkus to overt doctorial signers Into vibrations. A presto electric diaphragm Is used to reproduce high frequency sounds. Mainly a cabinet Is made to enclose the rear surface of the daphragrn lich Is vaccinated. en vacancies the diaphragm which Is made of a soft material either In part or full defames and settles In an equilibrium position. Then It Is set to vibrate according to the electrical signal by electromechanical apparatus thus prodded sound As there Is no material sedum or air towards the rear surface of the diaphragm and as sound cannot be created In or travel through vacuum no sound vexes are emitted Into the cabinet thus completely denudating the problem of cabinet adoration'. BACIOSWOUNP OF IKVENTIOW;- Any speaker unit consists of one or prior drivers and an end sure. Every driver has three rib n parts namely: Diaphragm Vice cod Magnetic apparatus The vodka cilia vibrates according to the electrical sigils, alarm the uniform margined field created by the magnet apparatus and vibrates the daphragrn along vat It creating sound. Any diaphragm has to have tm surfaces and sound way emptied from the front surface are Idol degree out of phase from the sound vexes emitted from the rear surface. both surfaces are left free to atmosphere the sound tees from either surfaces destructively Interfere thus producing wrong and waning or very poor quality of sound. That is the reason Way an enclosure is made for the rear surface of the diaphragm so that they don’t Interfere. But here arises a new position. The sound vitiates sifted from the rear surface of the diaphragm get reflected of the enclosure and collide v4th diaphragm and being mecfianical ayes exert force on it. Simply sealing the sound waves from the rear surface of the diaphragm cause air stiffness in the enclosure. Actually the capering vibrates according to the force created in the vice coil due to the current flog along it. Len the reflected waves from the enclosure collude the diaphragm the force exerted by them interacts the force from the voice cal thus producing cabinet coloration'. Due to the phenomenon of 'carnet coloration' any sepia err cannot just produce the frequency of sound as dictated by the signal but also produces another distortion frequency. The supplementary sound waves belt of Niger frequency comprorrises the clarity of the sound heard. INVEWTTON;- Pacts This particular transducer consists mainly of three parts. Namely Diaphragm Electro -Mechanical Apparatus and Air tight vacounidsed enclosure. Parts 1 and 2 vary in their design, structure and composition according to the particular use of the transducer. DETAILED DE5CWPTI0N;- Di|)hra9n : The diaphragm used in this particular apparatus can be of three different types. Namely :- Simple Diapers : A diaphragrn made from a soft material rubber or soft P.V.C (Poly Vinyl Chloride) with hi Posen’s ratio and low youn8;s and shear module that grossly, inspire of some in'egularities lolls ill a dome. Composite Diaphra^n: This diaphragm consists of two parts. The center part is made from a hard-neat plastic material Teflon (polymer) or some lightwdght metal. This part of the composite also incorporates in It the voice CHOP of the magnetic type of electro Mschasilcai apparatus if used. It can have a flat or cone shaped profile. The peripheral rim part of the composite diaphragm is made from soft materials used in the case of simple one. It tail the siege of a hollow truncated cane, Piezo-Bectiic Diaphragm : This type of dteiphragn consists of a thin layer of pies-electric crystal attached to a metal plate or sandvtrfched between two metal plates. If this type of diaphragm is used then there is no recjuircment for dectro-MadharAcak spurts as it can itself respond to electrical sfgials and produce vexations and thus sound Additionally a diaphragm Which Is a combination of herein above types can sago be used ELECTRC>4\AECHANICALAPPAmTUS;- It Is the part traditionally found in other transducers that converts electrical signals into median cad vibrations. It can be principally of two types namely :- Magnetic lip : This type consists of magnetic apparatus and a voice chop. The magnetic apparatus creates a uniform magnetic filed along Vichy the cool rowels according to the current gloving along It. The votes camp being attached to the diaphragm transfers the vibrations created In to the dlaphragrt thus creating sound. Piesso-etectric Type : This type consists of a thin layer of pi€ZD-electr1c crystal attached to a metal plate or sandwiched between two mobs plates en electric signal is fed to the crystal It shr1nl CABINET (Of ENCLOSURE; The enclosure or carnet encloses the rear surface of the diaphragm and houses the electro mechanical £q3paratus. it has an air-tight arrangement and a valve to accurate It and to retain the vacuum. The cabinet Is made from a very hard materials as It should not absorb vibrations from the cRaphragm resting on It. it also prcMdes Inlet for the rues carrying electrical signal to the transducer. Vein the transducer is being evacuated, the soft part of simple or composite diaphragm ever Is In use deform Into a near flat dome of very less curvature or a truncated cone of very less heft respectively due to the Immune air pressure acting on the diaphragm, en the transducer is vaccinated to required extent the diaphragm settles at an equilibrium position ere external force due to air-pressure is equal to the internal forces developed in the diaphragm due to deformation (force due to shear and oppressive strain). This type of set-up greatly reduces the mechanical impedance of tie diaphragm Wine compared to a totally plastic diaphragm (material property plastic or elastic) used under these conditions. A pizza-electric diaphragm is used to produce hi frequerKy sound displacement of the diaphragm is necessary during operation, making taw effect of its high mechanical impedance tolerable. leno the electrical signal is fed to the electro-mechanical apparatus or directly to the diaphragms in the case of pie-electric diaphragrn, vibrations are created in the diaphragm thus leading to sound production. As tiers is no material medium or air toners the rear surface of the diaphragm TV no oimd is created into die canine or enclosure dies completely dominating the possibility of cabinet colorations.

ADVAKTAGE5: The advantage from this Invention Is that pure quality of sound zero cabinet coloration can achieved at a reasonable cost. Further the commercially used sweaters that exhibit low cabinet coloration use wave gemmed pipe' or Transmission line pipe* technology Where long pipes of up to three meters length are attached to the rear end of the driver so that sound eventually gets absorbed without getting replied. So they have very large cabinets occupying 160 to 300 liters of space &n6 they are made from costly acoustic materials increasing the cost and size of the equipment. They are so economical In space that they can have a maximum tallness of Bam to •40rTYn making them a near substitute to flat panel. 1.
