Abstract

Disclosed is an electric-acoustic transducer comprising at least one fixed coil adapted to generate alternating magnetic field upon externally receiving an electrical drive signal, a frame having a recessed structure for centrally receiving and supporting the fixed coil, at least one moving permanent magnet disposed over the fixed coil while being spaced from the fixed coil by a desired vertical distance in such a fashion that it is vertically movable, the moving permanent magnet serving to generate non-alternating magnetic field, and a vibrating diaphragm supported by an upper end of the frame at a peripheral portion thereof, the vibrating diaphragm supporting the permanent magnet by a central portion thereof, whereby the vibrating diaphragm vibrates vertically in accordance with an interaction between the alternating magnetic field generated from the fixed coil and the non-alternating magnetic field generated from the permanent magnet.
