Create a new layer above the "circle 2" layer and below the "circle" layer. With the Elliptical Marquee Tool make a selection similar to the selection in figure 8.

Now create a new image 15 x 15 pixels, transparent background.
Make Black your foreground color and Select All.
Now go to Edit - Stroke - 2 pixels - Inside - Opacity 100%. Deselect.

Go back to the Speaker image, and make sure you still have your selection on your new layer.

Select the Paint Bucket Tool and change the Fill option window from foreground to pattern, and select the grid pattern you just made.

Fill the selection with the pattern.
Keep your selection.
Your image should now look like figure 8.

On the same layer go to Edit - Disort - Pinch - Amount: 70%. Click OK and deselect.

Now duplicate this layer 2 times by dragging the layer down to the "Create a new layer" tab two times. On the second layer copy drag the opacity down to 50%.

Now apply these layer Styles on the "small circle" layer, and your image should look like figure 11:
