Flat speaker with textile membrane
A loudspeaker equipped with a knitted membrane has been created by the German Institutes of Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf (DITF), together with a speaker manufacturer and circular knitting company Roma Strickstoff Fabrik Rolf Mayer.
In combination with a correspondingly designed “exciter”, a proof-of-concept for a robust flat speaker for reproducing high frequencies – a so-called “tweeter” – has been developed, with a demonstrator exhibited at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in April.
