ABSTRACT:
A loudspeaker including one or more secondary magnets positioned proximate to an opening of a gap through which a voice coil moves, to capture escaping ferrofluid and return the fluid to the gap. The secondary magnets have axial poles and are oriented, relative to a speaker magnet, to enhance the radial magnetic flux within the gap and to diminish the flux of a fringe field axially adjacent to the gap. When ferrofluid escapes from the gap, it is captured and held by one of the secondary magnets at a distal edge, which is a position of relatively high flux density within the magnetic field of the secondary magnet. When the amount of fluid held by the secondary magnet forms a sufficiently large miniscus, additional fluid captured by the magnet flows to a second region of relatively high flux density in the field of the secondary magnet and is drawn into the voice coil gap.
