Magnetic Planar Speakers - Holographic 3D Imaging and Stunning Clarity

They produce sound waves by vibrating a thin diaphragm that is suspended between two arrays of magnets. Planar magnetic speakers are renowned for their amazing clarity and holographic 3D images.

They are also suitable for a broad range of audio applications because of their low distortion, wide vertical and horizontal dispersion and cost-effective prices.

Superior Sound Quality

Planar magnetic speakers are known for delivering clear, precise sounds with low distortion. They do this by employing an elongated diaphragm that has an electrically conductive pattern. This is a reaction to the magnetic field produced by magnets either on one side or both sides of the speaker. The diaphragm is moved creating sound waves that can be transmitted through the dipole-radiation pattern. This causes the diaphragm to vibrate more evenly and produce superior sound quality compared to the typical cone or dome driver.

Another advantage of planar magnetic drivers is their large dispersion that is uniform, which lets the sound be heard equally from any point in a room. Planar dipoles or ribbon speakers also provide a natural soundstage that has very little resonance. This provides an experience of listening that is difficult to replicate with other speakers.

Planar magnetic speakers have a larger surface area than cone drivers and are more durable. They are also able to operate at higher volumes without causing excessive vibrations or distortions. They also sound better than other types of speakers, which makes them a great option for home theatre and HiFi applications.

Due to their complex design, planar drivers can be more expensive than other kinds of loudspeakers. However, they have superior sound quality that is well worth the investment. Planar speakers also have lower impedance compared to other kinds of loudspeakers. This makes them more suitable to drive amplifiers.

Planar magnetic speakers are an excellent option for both professional and home use. However they aren't as popular in IEMs because they require more intricate engineering to be able to fit into smaller sizes like headphones and earbuds. Recently, however there has been an increase in the number of IEMs available with planar magnetic technology. This includes the Rinko by Seeaudio and the S12 & Z12 by LETSHOUER, which have proved to be a great listenable experience.

Lower Distortion

For many audiophiles, the most sought-after characteristic of a speaker headphone is its low distortion. Inductance of the voice coil is the most common source of distortion in speakers. When an alternating current is pumped through a conventional moving coil driver's voice coil, the inductance of the voice coil produces magnetic fields that trigger diaphragm movement. The resultant movement, or excursion, is what causes the sound to be produced, but it also creates unwanted resonances and harmonics that degrade the audio quality of the speaker.

One of the major advantages of magnetic planar speakers is that they have much less distortion than traditional dynamic drivers. This is because the "voice coil" is distributed over a large surface, instead of being squeezed into a narrow space within a massive chunk of metal. A well-designed planar magnet speaker can handle more power than a dynamic driver without audible strain.

Planar magnetic speakers are also able to reduce distortion by providing the perfect resistive load to the amplifier in the system. This is because the voice coil is a very long thin wire that acts as a simple resistor. This makes it simple for the amplifier to drive and it always sounds best planar magnetic headphones when driving an asymmetrical magnetic speaker.

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

However, this does not mean that all planar single-ended speakers are free of distortion. Due to their close magnet spacing, magnetic forces can interact with one with one another and pull each other to a significant extent, which can cause changes in the diaphragm's tension over time. This is a problem that is made more difficult due to the proximity of adjacent rows of magnets.

Better Heat Dissipation

Many specialist HiFi audio headphone manufacturers have been creating amazing masterpieces over the last few years using planar magnetic driver magnetic technology. Planar magnetic drivers provide 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 over a much larger surface area than a conventional cone speaker which allows it to disperse heat efficiently and not get too hot. This makes the voice coil operate more linearly and with less distortion, and also allows for an extremely light diaphragm that can be driven to extremely high excursion levels.

This allows the planar magnetic speaker to have a remarkably rapid transient response, meaning that sharp peaks and very small details can be reproduced extremely precisely even at very high SPLs. It also means that the sound produced is very clean and clear of distortion. It is identical to the original source material.

The impedance curve of a planar magnetic speaker is also very flat, ranging from 4.2 ohms for the bass to 3.3 in the treble. This makes it a simple load to drive amplifiers and similar to the resistive loads that electronics manufacturers to show their products' high-end quality.

A ribbon/planar diaphragm that is extremely light and compact can move quickly and without much strain. This produces a very clear and crisp sound with a wide bandwidth and excellent linearity.

The ribbon/planar design is very quiet, which reduces distortion even further. It also remains stable across a wide range in temperatures and allows the speaker to maintain consistent audio quality over long periods of listening and a large listening area.

Although there are many advantages of using a Ribbon/Planar Speaker It is essential to keep in mind that this kind of speaker isn't suitable for all applications or listeners. A large ribbon/planar radiating surface requires a large room in order to produce the full range of sound at an adequate SPL. The majority of these speakers are available as tweeters, or as upper mid/high range components in two-way speaker systems.

Higher Power Handling

Magnetic planar drivers deliver clarity and detail that are unmatched by cone drivers. They can detect subtle nuances and reproduce complex sounds with precision. They also have a broad frequency response, which means they can produce a greater range of frequencies, with greater precision.

Planar speakers produce a highly directed sound field, which can be a drawback in the event that you're listening in an area with other people. It's also the reason they have such a wide dynamic range and stunning image. The sound appears to be emitted directly from the speaker, much like the sound of a laser beam, which can be heard even when you're off-axis.

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

There are some limitations with the technology. Planar drivers can be more difficult to create and heavier than cone drivers. They are also difficult to mount in certain environments. They also require more power to drive, which could limit the output they can attain.

Wisdom Audio is the leader in the research and application of PMD technology. Its products continue push forward the limits of this cutting-edge technology. The latest patented materials are able to stand magnetic planar speakers up to temperatures that are higher than PET, which is the material used in the majority of planar drivers. Its unique design minimizes the effects of diffraction, which occurs when sound waves pass through narrow gaps or curves.

In the end, its speakers and headphones are known to deliver an exceptionally detailed and clear sound that is free of distortion. They are also more responsive than cone drivers, which helps enhance their bass response. They're also able to reproduce high frequencies with astonishing precision and create deep, powerful bass.
