ABSTRACT:
A speaker includes a magnet, a yoke, and a coil. A surface of the magnet opposed to the yoke includes a first magnetized surface at one side in the moving direction of the coil and a second magnetized surface at the other side in the moving direction of the coil. The two magnetized surfaces have the same magnetic polarity. A central surface between the first magnetized surface and the second magnetized surface is not magnetized or is magnetized more weakly than the first magnetized surface and the second magnetized surface. The single magnet of this structure forms the same magnetic force distribution as two separate magnets so that the speaker provides a superior linearity of driving force of the coil.
