Advancements in Speaker Magnet Technology: From Alnico to Neodymium
Introduction to Speaker Magnets Speakers are intricate devices that play a crucial role in audio technology by converting electrical energy into sound. The type of magnet used in a speaker significantly influences its performance and sound quality. Classification of speakers can be based on the magnetic circuit structure (internal magnet vs. external magnet) and the principle of sound generation (dynamic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and electrostatic). Evolution of Speaker Magnet Technology Initially, dynamic speakers relied on electromagnetic drive mechanisms due to the
