A loudspeaker suspension comprises a body formed of a weave fabric. The body has an outer region and a central region. A warp region extends substantially from the central region to the outer region. A weft region orthogonal to the warp region extends substantially from the central region to the outer region. A region is between the warp region and weft region. At least a portion of the warp and weft regions of the weave fabric includes a stiffness-reducing treatment.
