Abstract

In the electric-acoustic transducer, first to third permanent magnets are respectively received in the first to the third recesses of a yoke, so as to generate non-alternating magnetic fields. The first and second magnetic gaps are formed between the yoke and the first and the second plates. The first and the second coils are respectively disposed in the first and the second magnetic gaps, to generate alternating magnetic fields of the same phase, when an electric driving signal is applied from the exterior. The electric-acoustic transducer achieves reproduction of a broad frequency band with high power and high efficiency, even with an ultra slim or small dimension, proper for a small electronic appliance such as a notebook computer, by employing dual voice coil drivers and auxiliary magnetic circuits.
