Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an electrical-acoustic transformation device, including: a vibration system and a magnetic circuit system with a magnetic gap; wherein the vibration system includes: a diaphragm, a voice coil provided below the diaphragm and suspending in the magnetic gap, and a piezoelectric plate provided on one side of the diaphragm; and conductive lines are formed on the diaphragm, the conductive lines include a first conductive line connected to the piezoelectric plate to input an externally input first audio signal to the piezoelectric plate via the first conductive line. The electrical-acoustic transformation device in the present invention has a moving coil sound generating structure and a piezoelectric sound generating structure. The piezoelectric plate compensates the high-frequency response of the vibration system, realizing an electrical-acoustic transformation device with good performance and super wideband.
