Magnetic Planar Speakers - Holographic 3D Imaging and Stunning Clarity

Using a thin tensioned diaphragm suspended between two arrays magnets that vibrate, they create sound waves. Planar magnetic speakers are known for their incredible clarity and 3D holographic images.

They also offer a wide vertical and horizontal dispersion, low distortion and affordable costs making them suitable for various audio applications.

Superior Sound Quality

When it comes to high-performance audio planar magnetic speakers are known for their ability to reproduce clear, detailed sound with minimal distortion. They do this by using a flat diaphragm with a conductive pattern on it. This is a reaction to the magnetic field produced by magnets on one or Magnetic Planar Speakers both sides of the speaker. The diaphragm is then able to move, producing sounds waves that are transmitted by the dipole or monopole pattern. This allows the diaphragm's surface to vibrate more evenly, and create better sound quality than a typical dome or cone driver.

Another benefit of planar magnetic drivers is their wide dispersion, uniform in size that lets the sound be heard from any point in an area. In addition, planar ribbon or dipole speakers offer an incredibly natural soundstage, with minimal resonances. This creates an experience of listening that is difficult to duplicate with other speakers.

Planar magnetic speakers have a bigger surface area than cone drivers and are more durable. They can also be operated at higher volumes without causing excessive distortions or vibrations. They are also quieter than other types of speakers, making them an excellent choice for home theatre or HiFi applications.

Due to their complex design, planar speakers can be more expensive than other kinds of loudspeakers, but they offer superior audio quality that is worth the cost. In addition planar speakers have a much lower impedance than other kinds of loudspeakers, which means they are easier for amplifiers to drive than standard drivers.

These advantages make planar magnetic speakers an a great choice for professional and home use However, they aren't as well-known in IEMs, as they require more advanced engineering to incorporate into small shapes like headphones and earbuds. Recently, however, there has been a rise in the variety of IEMs that feature planar magnetic technology. The Rinko by Seeaudio and the S12 and Z12 from LETSHOUER are two examples IEMs that have been shown to offer a superior listening experience.

Lower Distortion

Low distortion is the most desired characteristic for many audiophiles. Voice coil inductance is the most common cause of distortion in speakers. When an alternating current is pumped through a traditional moving coil driver's voice coil, the voice coil inductance produces magnetic fields which induce diaphragm movement. The movement or the excursion is what produces the sound wave, but it also creates unwanted resonances and harmonics that degrade the audio quality.

Magnetic planar speakers have a much lower distortion rate than traditional dynamic drivers. This is due to the fact that the "voice coil" is spread out over the entire surface instead of being squeezed into a small gap inside a huge chunk of metal. This means that an appropriately designed planar magnetic speaker can handle far more power than traditional dynamic drivers without any sound.

Planar magnetic speakers can also reduce distortion by providing the perfect resistive load to an amplifier within the system. This is due to the fact that the voice coil is a very long thin wire that acts exactly like a resistor. This makes it easy for the amplifier to drive and it will always sound best when driving the planar magnetic speaker.

The high efficiency of magnetic planar speakers means that they produce little heat, even when playing a lot of music. This is crucial as a large amount can damage the voice coil and decrease the life span of the device.

However, this doesn't mean to say that all single-ended planar magnetic speakers are free from distortion. Due to their close magnet spacing, the magnetic forces can interact and attract each other to a significant extent, causing changes to the diaphragm tension as time passes. This problem is made worse due to the proximity of adjacent rows of magnets.

Better Heat Dissipation

In the past few decades, many companies that specialize in HiFi audio headphones manufacturers have created incredible masterpieces using planar magnet technology. Planar magnetic drivers offer remarkable advantages over the standard coiled dynamics used in most headphones and speakers.

One of the major advantages is that the "voice coil" is spread across an area that is much larger than a conventional cone speaker that allows it to disperse heat effectively without getting too hot. This helps the voice coil operate more linearly and with less distortion and also allows for an extremely lightweight diaphragm which can be driven to extremely high excursion levels.

This allows the planar magnet planar speaker to have an exceptionally quick transient response. Sharp peaks and tiny details can be reproduced with great accuracy, even at high SPLs. It also ensures that the sound is clear and free from distortion and is identical to the original source material.

The planar magnetic speaker also has a flat impedance curve, from about 4.2 Ohms in the bass, to 3.3 ohms in the Treble. This makes it an easy load for amplifiers to drive, and comparable to resistive loads that electronics manufacturers use during measurements designed to demonstrate how good their products are.

A ribbon/planar diaphragm that's extremely light and compact can move quickly and without strain. This results in a clear and clean sound with a wide frequency range and excellent linearity.

The ribbon/planar design is extremely quiet, which helps to reduce distortion even further. It's also extremely stable across a wide range of temperatures and allows the speaker to produce the same quality of sound for long periods of listening and a wide listening area.

Although there are many advantages to using a Ribbon/Planar Speaker, it is important that you remember that this kind of speaker is not appropriate for all listeners or applications. A ribbon/planar that has a large radiating surface will require a large space to create the full range of sound at an acceptable SPL. Most of these speakers are sold as tweeters or as upper mid/high-range components in two-way speaker systems.

Higher Power Handling

Magnetic planar drivers can provide exceptional clarity and detail without the distortion that is common to traditional cone drivers. They can reveal subtle variations and reproduce complex sound precisely. They also have a wide frequency response, which means they can produce a greater frequency range with greater accuracy.

Planar speakers produce a directed sound, which could be a problem if you are listening to them with other people. But it's also the reason they have such a wide dynamic range and stunning image. The sound is like a laser beam, shooting directly out of the speakers. It is heard when you are off-axis.

The flat diaphragm, when combined with the front of the acoustic wave, gives them a greater sense of depth and space than cone speakers. They typically have a low noise floor which makes them less distracting in noisy environments. Planar magnetic drivers are preferred by a large number of audiophiles because of their natural sound quality.

There are still a few limitations to the technology. Planar drivers are more difficult to manufacture than cone drivers that are conventional, and they can be heavy, making them difficult to mount in certain conditions. They also require a higher power output to drive them, which can limit their maximum output.

Wisdom Audio is a leader in the development of PMD technology and its products continue to push the limits of what this breakthrough technology can achieve. The new material that it has patented is able to withstand temperatures far higher than PET which is used to make most planar drivers. Its unique design minimizes the effects of diffraction, which occurs when sound waves pass through small gaps or curves.

As a result, its headphones and speakers are known to deliver an exceptionally clear and detailed sound that is free of distortion. They also have a higher level of responsiveness than cone drivers, which could improve their bass response. They're also capable of reproducing high frequencies with astonishing precision, and they can create deep, powerful bass.
