A challenge for you: Shouldn't it be possible to have some (small amount) of iron in the membrane in the proper location and let that hold up the membrane by magnetism. In that way it should not have to be suspended on any side and not need for any corrugation... it must be possible... ;-) and then induce the (music) signal by induction so that no wires is attached to the membrane... a compleatly floating transducer.. (I'm probably a April fool 
)

well i am not sure if you watched the latest videos but i did use some coils out of phase. to lower resonances of the foil where it is not driven. oooooor use DC on those coils, both work... but its a waste of power at the same time i removed allot of flapping... but cant compare to just a stretch foil unfortunately

i am not sure at all, since it was gifted to me an creality Ender 5 pro. to me any 3d printer is, well a 3d printer. i believe a modified Ender 3 has the benchy record looks like poo, but hell she did it with a affordable 3d printer that should have no potential to be the fastest hehe
she just came along and Nuked the previous record super cool !
well i think i need to use something 3d then...... i guess 360.... but to be fair i hate drawing in 3d but have to learn somewhere along the way

Got the magnets:
So how correct is the FEMM analyzis?
I put two magnets on a 1.5 mm steel plate:
Set it up in FEMM:
Magnetic flow density between the magnets 1 mm above the magnets:
Magnetic flow density between the magnets 2 mm above the magnets:
I then measured the reality, the Hall sensor is about 2 mm from the edge of the probe.
With a distance of 1 mm in the first parts of the video the Hall sensor is barely over the magnets.
The density shifts heavily as in the first graph above. Perhaps it has to do with that the magnets are not symmetric on the steel plate.
With a distance of 2 mm in the last part of the video, the Hall sensor is right where the membrane should be.
Compare with the second graph above.
So I'd say that the FEMM simulations can be trusted.

Better still:
The black rubber foot at the top can be pressed against the membrane, so one will use it upside down.
To make the pressure area larger, an extra foot is easily design and 3D printed.
Anyone know where to buy it in Europe, not being a company?
Still no idea what tension one can expect in a planar?

I hope test these membrane types/thickness:
BOPP 20 µm,
PEN 12 µm (Teonex),
Mylar 2 µm,
Mylar 5 µm,
Mylar 7,5 µm,
Mylar 10 µm,
Mylar 12 µm, (3M 74 film with glue),
Mylar 5 µm, (one side metallized),
Mylar 10 µm, (one side metallized),
Mylar 12 µm, (one side metallized).
The thinner membrane might be tested in a sandwich manner; mylar/aluminium/mylar.
