This is accomplished by either or both of two techniques: the diaphragm's conductive coating is chosen and applied in a manner to give it a very high surface resistivity, and / or a large value resistor is placed in series between the EHT ( Extra High Tension or Voltage ) power supply and the diaphragm ( resistor not shown in the diagram here ). However the latter technique will still allow distortion as the charge will migrate across the diaphragm to the point closest to the " grid " or electrode thereby increasing the force moving the diaphragm, this will occur at audio frequency so the diaphragm requires a high resistance ( megohms ) to slow the movement of charge for a practical speaker.
