A passive radiator includes a chassis (11) and a radiator body which is
connected to the chassis and which is movable with respect to the chassis
along a translation axis (T*). The radiator is capable of displacing
comparatively large air volumes. The radiator body includes a central mass
element (13a) and at least one mass element (13b) which is arranged
concentrically with respect to the central mass element. The radiator
further comprises connection units for movably interconnecting each pair
of adjacent mass elements and for movably connecting one of the mass
elements to an element (11a) of the chassis. Each of the connection units
includes two resilient annular connecting rings (5a1, 5a2; 5b1, 5b2),
which have two adjacent elements which are parts of said elements secured
to them. The connecting rings of at least one of the connection units
bound a closed chamber (17a) containing a gaseous medium in order to
counteract undesired noises. The central mass element with its adjacent
connection unit as well as each concentrically arranged mass element with
its adjacent connecting limb forms a mass spring system, all the mass
spring systems thus defined having, at least substantially, the same
resonant frequency.
