An acoustic passive radiator that controls "rocking mode" vibration. An
acoustic passive radiator includes a diaphragm for radiating acoustic
energy. The diaphragm has a perimeter portion and a central portion. The
perimeter portion is thicker than the central portion. The passive
radiator further includes a passive radiator suspension. The suspension
includes a skin element encasing the diaphragm. The skin element
comprises a surround for physically coupling the passive radiator to an
acoustic enclosure, pneumatically sealing the diaphragm and the
enclosure. The surround has a non-uniform width. The passive radiator a
non-pneumatically sealing, non-surround, non-spider suspension element.
The non-surround suspension element and the surround coact to control the
motion of the diaphragm and to support the weight of the diaphragm.
