Dust Cover-Cap: A rigid cardboard or plastic dome placed over the opening to the voice coil cylinder in a dynamic cone driver. The main purpose is to prevent dust from falling into the voice coil-magnet gap and causing problems. In some units it may have a slight ancillary function in extending - slightly - the midrange/ high response. Occasionally the dome may be inverted in such a manner as to extend the inner surface of the woofer and provide a very slight improvement in the smoothness of low frequency to midrange roll-off.
