Theory of operation Cobra 11x15x3,5mm is an electrodynamic transducer, designed to translate electrical analog signals into sound. The input signal is fed into a coil in a magnetic field, which is attached to a membrane. Through the principle of the electromagnetic force, the membrane is moved according to the contents of the input signal. Release – Revision: C Page 3 of 20 ©2011 Knowles Electronics 2403 260 00091 2.
