This work proposes a new type of compression driver based on an annular flexural diaphragm and a topology that combines part of the diaphragm radiating directly into the horn and the other part loaded by a side-firing compression chamber. This configuration’s design is very simple compared to its predecessors. Acoustical theory, numerical simulations, matrix electrical-mechanical-acoustical model, and the results of real transducer measurements substantiate the new design. The new driver provides performance on par with more complex transducers of a similar format.
