Abstract

A planar diaphragm type magnetic transducer with magnetic circuit wherein the magnet strips on the soft iron plate and confronting the diaphragm are arranged in a sequence south, north, north, south, south, north, north, south, et seq. The magnet strips are spaced across the transducer and the metal plates on which the magnet strips lie are apertured to make the plates acoustically transparent. Conductors are grouped in runs on the diaphragm opposite alternate pairs of magnet strips which have magnetic poles of opposite polarity at their front faces.
