Abstract

An earpiece for communications comprises a frame, a vibration system disposed in the frame and a magnetic field system disposed in the frame. The vibration system includes a vibrating armature, a diaphragm and a connecting rod. The magnetic field system includes a magnet to generate a first magnetic field on a first axis and a coil to generate a second magnetic field on a second axis. One of the magnet and the coil is connected to the frame. The first and the second magnetic fields produce a net magnetic force to cause the vibration system to move. The first axis is parallel to the second axis.
