Hello,
I was reading this article from InnerFidelity: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/how-balanced-armature-receiversdrivers-work#EyzUFy5raUwBqTLk.97
In the "Armature Variables" section, the author notes that a thicker armature increases stiffness, but I'm wondering what the practical use of this. In the one example on the page with Sonion BARs, a thicker yet lighter (via reduced width) armature increased the bandwidth. I can understand how a decrease in mass would allow for increased rate of movement of the armature, allowing for higher frequencies, but what about the thickness/stiffness? Wouldn't that make it harder to produce higher frequencies, thus reducing the bandwidth?
Any help in understanding this would be appreciated!
