With over a decade of speaker manufacturing expertise, XDEC has prioritized waterproofing R&D to meet diverse application demands (outdoor audio, Bluetooth speakers, automotive speakers, etc.). Our waterproof designs are categorized as follows:

I. Structural Waterproofing (Basic)

news-682-624

Diaphragm Waterproofing (Most Common)

Materials: Waterproof paper, PP + hydrophobic coating, PET, TPU, PEI, etc.

Protection level: Resists splashes or brief immersion.

Voice Coil Waterproofing

Coating voice coils and formers with waterproof resin or conformal coating (e.g., PCB-grade moisture-proof paint) to prevent short circuits or corrosion.

Adhesive Sealing

High-performance waterproof adhesives (epoxy/silicone) for sealing diaphragm edges, spiders, and magnetic gaps.

Surround/Spider Waterproofing

Waterproof cloth surrounds, rubber edges, or hydrophobic sprays.

Spider reinforcement with waterproof resin.

II. Enclosure/Isolation Waterproofing (Intermediate-Advanced)

Waterproof Grille Design

Hydrophobic mesh (e.g., GORE-TEX) covers the front to block water while maintaining acoustic transparency.

Common in Bluetooth speakers and smartphone micro-speakers.

Fully Sealed Enclosures

Speakers housed in airtight cavities with gasket-sealed terminals or screw-locked ports.

Applications: Marine audio, outdoor PA systems, waterproof broadcast speakers.

III. Coating/Nano-Waterproofing (Innovative Solutions)

Nanoscale Hydrophobic Coatings

Technologies like P2i or HZO create superhydrophobic layers on speaker surfaces.

Pros: No added bulk/weight; ideal for compact devices (e.g., TWS earbuds).

Cons: Limited to IPX4-IPX5 (splash resistance).

Full-Assembly Moisture Barrier

Pre-assembly waterproof film spraying enhances humidity resistance for all components.
