Do Microphones Need Magnetism To Work Properly? Magnets and microphones play huge roles in our everyday lives. You may have read somewhere that magnets play a central role in microphones. Is this true? Do Microphones Need Magnetism To Work Properly? Dynamic mics (moving-coil and ribbon) convert energy via electromagnetic induction and have built-in magnets around [...]
Why & How Do Headphones Use Magnets? Magnetic materials and magnetic fields are all around us, but it may come as a surprise to you that the headphones you’re wearing have magnets, too! Why & How Do Headphones Use Magnets? Headphones act as transducers of energy, converting electrical energy (audio signal) into mechanical wave energy [...]
Magnets In Loudspeaker Drivers Magnets In Moving-Iron Loudspeaker Drivers The moving-iron loudspeaker was the first effective electromagnetic loudspeaker design. Today, the design is pretty well relegated to balanced armature headphone drivers, but this driver type is still worth mentioning. Let’s have a look at the balanced armature headphone driver design to explain the magnets of [...]
Why And How Do Speakers Use Magnets & Electromagnetism? Magnetic material and magnetic fields surround us in our day-to-day lives, from the refrigerator magnets to the Earth’s magnetic field to the speakers in our homes, on the stage, in our cars, etc. Why and how do speakers use magnets? Speakers are transducers of energy that [...]
Big Magnets Make For Better Loudspeakers Everybody who listens to audio, whether music, podcasts, movies or other media, depends on speakers. From standalone loudspeakers and monitors to headphones and earphones to built-in laptop and cell phone speakers, it’s clear that speakers vary significantly in size. With most speakers being electromagnetic, it begs the question: do [...]
Why Do Speakers Have Magnets? Speakers have magnets because magnets create an opposing magnetic field which results in vibrations which are the sounds we hear. Let’s explain a bit further. As you already know, for speakers to work, they need electric current. This current goes through a coil in the speaker and creates a magnetic [...]
Types of Speaker Magnets Its a common question, which type of magnet is used in speakers? If you are new to the speaker world, you have to understand that every sound speaker, whether small or the most powerful one, all are designed with a permanent magnet. The magnet provides a permanent magnetic field for the [...]
Some Introduction About Speaker Magnets Speakers are a type of transducer which can transfer the electric signal to the acoustic signal. The sound quality of the speaker is largely depended on the speaker magnets. Speakers can be classified to internal magnetic type and external magnetic type according to the magnetic circuit structure. Speakers also can [...]
