A loudspeaker includes a magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap, a frame
coupled to the magnetic circuit, a voice coil having a first end
positioned in the magnetic gap and a second end opposite to the first
end, and a diaphragm coupled to the second end of the voice coil and the
frame. The voice coil has a center axis provided through the first end
and the second end. The diaphragm has a first portion in which the center
axis of the voice coil is provided. The first portion of the diaphragm is
provided inside the voice coil. The diaphragm further has a second
portion outside the voice coil. One of the first portion and the second
portion of the diaphragm has a cross section in a plane including the
center axis, and the cross section of the one of the first portion and
the second portion of the diaphragm has an elliptic-arc shape. This
loudspeaker has a small thickness, has a high sound pressure level in a
high frequency range, and secures a wide reproduction range in high
frequencies.
