ABSTRACT:
A planar-magnetic electro-acoustic transducer including a support structure and a magnetic structure carried by the support structure, the magnetic structure comprising a multiplicity of high-energy magnets configured so as to have shared loop field maxima and local loop field maxima, and a diaphragm carried by the support structure, comprising a plurality of conductors carried by and coupled to the diaphragm, said conductors being disposed in relation to local loop maxima and configured to exploit the energy of local loop maxima, as well as the energy of shared loop maxima in driving the diaphragm to produce an acoustic output; and the magnetic structure can be configured so that it includes magnet rows, and the transverse cross-sectional width of the magnets does not exceed their transverse cross-sectional height, and the distance between adjacent elongated magnet rows is greater than one half the width of either of the magnets of the adjacent magnet rows.
