The present invention provides an intertial-type voice actuator that
includes a magnetic flux conductive material core with a continuous
channel. The channel has antifringing groove. The actuator employs a
radially polarized cylindrical magnet spaced in the channel to form a
magnetic gap and a conductive coil positioned at least partially in the
gap. A multi-component suspension system provides high quality sound
using an antifriction bearing, a viscous magnetic fluid, and a spider
suspension. The inertial-type actuator is completed by an integrated
mounting apparatus. In one embodiment, a receiver and an output disk are
interlocked by helical wedges and the actuator is mounted on a
soundboard. In another embodiment, a special receiving cavity is attached
to a wall stud for intrawall installation. The cavity is equipped with
longitudinal electrical contacts so that the actuator can move and still
be connected. After the actuator is inserted, the wall covering is
installed.
