Magnetic circuit and speaker using same
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a magnet assembly and speaker including such a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly includes an outer magnet defining a pair of first plat magnets, an inner magnet surrounded by the outer magnet and defining a pair of second plat magnets, a first magnetic gap formed between an inner surface of the outer magnet and an outer surface of the inner magnet, and a magnetic conductive portion sandwiched between the pair of the second plat magnets. A width of the magnetic conductive portion is unequal to a length of the outer and inner magnets. Polarity of the pair of the first plate magnets adjacent to the magnetic gap is similar to each other. Polarity of the pair of the first plate magnets adjacent to the magnetic gap are opposite to that of the pair of the second plate magnets adjacent to the first magnetic gap.
