Magnetic Array
The magnetic array system is an advanced configuration of magnets used in magnetoplanar drivers to optimize the distribution of the magnetic field across the membrane.
Principle of Operation
In magnetoplanar drivers, a thin membrane with conductive circuits vibrates within a magnetic field to generate sound. The magnetic array system arranges the magnets strategically to:
- Maximizing magnetic field uniformity, reducing distortion.
- Optimize energy efficiency by improving driver sensitivity.
- Ensure a more controlled movement of the membrane, resulting in a more precise sound response.
Types of Magnetic Arrays
- Symmetric Array
Magnets placed on both sides of the membrane for a uniform field. - Asymmetric Array
Magnets on one side only, reducing weight and internal reflections. - Optimized Array (Stealth Magnet, Fluxor, Double Fluxor)
Magnets shaped to reduce air turbulence and increase magnetic flux.
Advantages of the Magnetic Array System
- Less harmonic distortion and greater accuracy in sound details.
- Greater efficiency with less energy loss.
- Improved extension of low and mid frequencies.
This technology is used in high-end magnetoplanar headphones, where it is critical to achieve natural, transparent sound.
