Everything about Diaphragm Acoustics totally explained
In a
loudspeaker, a
diaphragm (also known as the
cone) is the thin, semi-rigid
membrane attached to the central
magnet. The magnet induces the diaphragm to vibrate, producing
sound. This diaphragm is also found in
headphones.
Using this in reverse converts air vibrations (sound) into
electrical signals, as in several common designs of
microphone.
Similarly, the
eardrum uses this same principle, using a diaphragm to stimulate
nerves to transmit a neural "image" of sound to the
brain.
In loudspeakers, cellulose fiber (paper) was the most common original material used to make the diaphragms. Paper density is modified to produce desired sound characteristics by means of refining the paper. Cellulose continues to be the most common material used in speaker cones. Today, many synthetic fibers and binders are added to enhance the acoustic properties as well as the power handling. Other materials used today are polypropylene and aluminum.
