Magnetic Planar Speakers - Holographic 3D Imaging and Stunning Clarity

Using a thin tensioned diaphragm suspended between two arrays magnets They vibrate to create sound waves. Planar magnetic speakers are renowned for their amazing clarity and planar magnetic holographic 3D images.

They are also ideal for a broad range of audio applications due to their low distortion, wide vertical and horizontal dispersion and affordable costs.

Superior Sound Quality

Planar magnetic speakers are known for their ability to reproduce clear, detailed sounds with low distortion. This is because they employ flat diaphragms with an electrically conductive trace that reacts to a magnetic field emanating from magnets located on one or both sides of the speaker. The diaphragm rotates creating sound waves that can be transmitted through a dipole- or monopole-radiation pattern. This allows the diaphragm to move more evenly, and create superior sound quality than a standard dome or cone driver.

Another benefit of planar magnetic drivers is their wide, uniform dispersion that lets the sound be heard equally from any location in a room. Planar dipole or ribbon speakers also have a natural, spacious soundstage that has very low resonances. This provides a full listening experience that brings music to life in a manner that is difficult to duplicate with other kinds of speakers.

Because they cover a large surface area that they cover, planar magnetic speakers are also more durable than traditional cone drivers, and can be operated at higher volumes without producing excessive vibration or distortion. They also sound better than other types of speakers, making them a great choice for home theatre or HiFi applications.

Planar speakers are more expensive due to their complex design. However, they offer superior audio quality and are worth the investment. Furthermore, planar speakers have a lower impedance than other types of loudspeakers, which means they are more suited for amplifiers to drive than standard drivers.

Although these advantages make planar magnetic speakers ideal for professional and home use, they are less popular in IEMs because they require more sophisticated engineering to integrate into small shapes like headphones and earbuds. Recently however there has been an increase in the variety of IEMs that feature planar magnetic technology. The Rinko by Seeaudio and the S12 & Z12 from LETSHOUER are two examples of IEMs that have proven to deliver a fantastic listening experience.

Lower Distortion

Low distortion is the most desired characteristic for many audiophiles. The distortion that is produced in the speaker through many factors, but perhaps the most popular cause of distortion is voice coil inductance. When an alternation voltage is applied to the voice coil of the moving coil driver, the inductance of the voice coil produces a magnetic field which causes the diaphragm to move. The resultant movement, or excursion, is the reason for the sound wave to be created but it also generates unwanted harmonics and resonances which degrade the audio quality of the speaker.

One of the major advantages of magnetic planar speakers is that they feature less distortion than traditional dynamic drivers. This is due to the fact that the "voice coil" has more surface area, instead of being squeezed into a small space within a massive piece of metal. In the end, a well-designed planar magnet speaker can handle far more power than the traditional dynamic driver, without causing any audible strain.

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

The high efficiency that magnetic planar speakers offer implies that they produce minimal heat when playing music at loud volume. This is crucial, since the excessive amount of heat can damage the voice coil, and diminish the life span of the device.

This doesn't mean that all single-ended planar magnetic speakers are free of distortion. Due to their close magnet spacing the magnetic forces can interact with one other and attract one another to a considerable extent, which can cause changes in the diaphragm's pressure as time passes. This issue is exacerbated due to the proximity of adjacent rows of magnets.

Better Heat Dissipation

Many specialization HiFi audio headphone manufacturers have been creating amazing masterpieces over the last few years that utilize planar magnetic technology. While many people consider the standard dynamic driver that the majority of headphones and speakers use to be superior, there are incredible advantages when using a planar magnetic design.

The main benefit is that the "voice coil" is spread over a much larger surface area than a typical cone speaker which allows it to disperse heat effectively without getting too hot. This allows the voice coil to operate more linearly with less distortion and also allows a lightweight diaphragm which can be driven at extremely high excursion levels.

This enables the planar magnet speaker to have a remarkably rapid transient response. Sharp peaks and small details can be reproduced with a high degree of accuracy, even at high SPLs. It also means that the sound is clear and free of distortion, and is not different from the original source material.

The impedance curve of a planar magnetic speaker is also very flat and ranges from 4.2 Ohms for the bass to 3.3 in the Treble. This makes it a relatively easy load for amplifiers to drive and is comparable to the resistive loads used by electronics manufacturers for tests designed to show the quality of their products.

Another benefit is that the diaphragm (planar) is extremely light, which allows it to move extremely quickly and without strain. This produces a very clear and planar Magnetic clean sound with a wide range of frequency and excellent linearity.

The ribbon/planar also is very quiet, which reduces distortion. Additionally, it is extremely stable across a range of temperatures, which enables the speaker to produce consistent sound quality for long durations of time, and over a broad listening area.

Although there are many benefits to using a Ribbon/closed back planar magnetic headphones Speaker, it is important to remember that this kind of speaker is not suitable for all listeners or applications. A ribbon/planar that has a large radiating surface will require a large room in order to produce a full-range sound at an acceptable SPL. Because of this, the majority of such speakers are sold as tweeters or the upper mid/high-range component of a two-way system.

Higher Power Handling

Magnetic planar drivers deliver clarity and clarity that is unmatched by cone drivers. This allows them to reveal subtle nuances in your music, and reproduce complex sounds with precision. They also have a broad frequency response, which means that they can produce a greater frequency range with greater accuracy.

Planar speakers create a highly directional sound field, which could be a drawback if you're listening to them in an area with other people. It's also the reason for their remarkable quality of sound and their stunning image. The sound is like a laser beam that shoots directly out of the speakers. It can be heard when you are off-axis.

The flat diaphragm and the acoustic wavefront also give them more the depth and expansiveness of conventional cone speakers. They tend to have a low noise floor which makes them less distracting when in noisy environments. Many audiophiles prefer the natural sound quality of planar magnetic drivers over other types of technology.

There are still some limitations with the technology. Planar drivers are more difficult to create than cone drivers that are conventional, and they can be heavy, which can make them difficult to mount in certain environments. They also require a greater power output to drive them, which may 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 accomplish. Its new patented materials can withstand temperatures far higher than PET, which is commonly used in most planar drivers. The unique design of the material reduces effects of diffraction, which can occur when sound waves travel through narrow gaps or curves.

In the end, its speakers and headphones are known to deliver an extremely clear and precise sound that isn't distorted. They're also more responsive than cone drivers that are traditional which can help improve their bass response. They can also reproduce high frequencies with incredible accuracy, and are capable of delivering deep, powerful bass.
