voice coil [′vȯis ‚kȯil]
(engineering acoustics)
The coil that is attached to the diaphragm of a moving-coil loudspeaker and moves through the air gap between the pole pieces due to interaction of the fixed magnetic field with that associated with the audio-frequency current flowing through the voice coil. Also known as loudspeaker voice coil; speech coil (British usage).
