Abstract

There are provided a vibration film (21) having a piezoelectric element, a magnetic circuit (20) which generates magnetic force on the basis of a first electric signal and vibrates the vibration film (21) by the magnetic force; and an adjustment unit (31) which generates a second electric signal on the basis of the first electric signal and applies a voltage based on the second electric signal between both surfaces of the piezoelectric element. The amplitude of the entire vibration film (21) is expanded by making the vibration by the magnetic force, which is generated from the magnetic circuit (20), and the vibration, which is generated by application of a voltage to the piezoelectric element, synchronize with each other.
