Magnetic Planar Speakers - Holographic 3D Imaging and Stunning Clarity

They produce sound waves by vibrating a diaphragm, magnetic planar speakers which is suspended between two magnets. Planar magnetic speakers are famous for their incredible clarity and holographic 3D images.

They also have a wide vertical and horizontal dispersion as well as low distortion and affordable costs making them ideal for many audio applications.

Superior Sound Quality

Planar magnetic speakers are renowned for reproducing detailed, clear sound with minimal distortion. This is because they employ flat diaphragms with an conductive trace pattern that reacts to a magnetic field from magnets on either or both sides of the speaker. The diaphragm is moved, causing sound waves to be transmitted via a monopole- or dipole-radiation pattern. This allows the diaphragm vibrate more evenly and produce superior sound quality compared to the typical cone or dome driver.

Another advantage of planar magnetic drivers is their broad dispersion that is uniform that allows the sound to be heard equally from any location in the room. Planar dipole or ribbon speakers also offer a natural soundstage with a low resonances. This results in an immersive listening experience that brings music to life in a way that is difficult to duplicate with other types of speakers.

Because they have such a large surface area that they cover, planar magnetic speakers are also more durable than traditional cone drivers. They can operate at higher volume levels without causing excessive vibration or distortion. They also have lower mechanical noise than other kinds of drivers, which makes them an excellent choice for home theater and HiFi applications.

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

These advantages make planar magnetic speakers ideal for both professional and home applications However, they aren't as well-known in IEMs because they require more advanced engineering to incorporate into small shapes like headphones and earbuds. Recently, however there has been a rise in the availability of IEMs with planar magnetic technology. These include the Rinko by Seeaudio, and the S12 & Z12 by LETSHOUER, which have proven to provide an exceptional listening experience.

Lower Distortion

Low distortion is the most desired feature for many audiophiles. The distortion that is produced in the speaker due to various factors, but perhaps the most common source of distortion is the voice coil inductance. When an alternation voltage is applied to the voice coil of the moving coil driver, the inductance of the voice coil creates a magnetic field that causes the diaphragm to move. The movement or the excursion is what causes the sound wave, but it also causes unwanted resonances and harmonics which degrade the quality of the audio.

One of the major advantages of magnetic planar speakers is that they have much less distortion 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 narrow gap inside a huge chunk of metal. A well-designed planar magnet speaker can handle much more power than a dynamic driver, but without any audible strain.

Another way that planar magnetic speakers can reduce distortion is by presenting an almost perfect resistive load to the amplifier in the system. This is because the voice coil is a long, thin wire that behaves as a simple resistor. This makes the amplifier simple to drive and will sound the best when connected to an electric planar speaker.

Lastly, the high efficiency that magnetic planar speakers provide implies that they produce minimal heat when playing music at high volume. This is crucial as a large amount can damage the voice coil and reduce its lifespan.

This does not mean that all single-ended planar magnetic speakers are free of distortion. Due to their close magnet spacing, magnetic forces can interact with each the other and draw one another to a large extent, which can cause changes in the diaphragm's elasticity as time passes. This problem is made worse due to the close proximity between adjacent rows of magnets.

Better Heat Dissipation

In the last few decades, many companies that specialize in HiFi audio headphones manufacturers have created stunning masterpieces using planar magnetic technology. Planar magnetic drivers offer amazing advantages over the conventional Coiled Dynamics used in the majority of headphones and speakers.

The main benefit is that the "voice coil" is spread out over an area that is much larger than in a typical cone speaker which allows it to disperse heat efficiently and not get too hot. This allows the voice coil to operate more linearly and with less distortion, and also enables an extremely light diaphragm that can be driven to extremely high excursion levels.

This enables the planar magnet speaker to have an extremely fast transient response. Sharp peaks and even the smallest details can therefore be reproduced with great precision even at very high SPLs. It also means that the sound produced is clear and free from distortion and is indistinguishable from the original source material.

The planar magnetic speaker also has a very flat impedance curve, from about 4.2 Ohms in the bass to 3.3 Ohms in the Treble. This makes it a simple load to drive amplifiers, and similar to the resistive loads used by electronic manufacturers to demonstrate their products' quality.

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

The ribbon/planar also is very quiet, which reduces distortion. It's also extremely stable across a broad range in temperatures, allowing the speaker to maintain the same quality of sound over long periods of listening and also a large listening space.

While the benefits of a ribbon/planar speaker are numerous, it's important to remember that they are a special type of loudspeaker, magnetic planar Speakers and are not appropriate for every application or for all listeners. For example, a ribbon/planar speaker with a large radiating panel will require a very large room to create a full-range sound with an sufficient SPL. For this reason, most such speakers are sold only as tweeters or the upper mid/high range part of a two-way system.

Higher Power Handling

Magnetic planar drivers can provide incredible clarity and detail, without the distortion that is common to traditional cone drivers. This allows them to reveal subtle variations in your music and reproduce complex sounds with accuracy. They also have a broad frequency response, which means that they can produce a wider frequency range with greater precision.

Planar speakers create a directional sound field, which could be a problem in the event that you're listening in the same room as other people. This is also the reason behind their incredible dynamic range and pristine image. The sound seems to emanate directly from the speaker, like a sonic laser beam that can be heard even if you're off-axis.

The flat diaphragm and acoustic wavefront also give them more space and depth than conventional cone speakers. They also have a 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 types of technology.

There are still a few limitations with the technology. Planar drivers are more difficult to manufacture than conventional cone drivers and they can be quite heavy, which can make difficult to install in certain situations. They also require a greater power output to drive them, which may limit their maximum output.

Wisdom Audio is the leader in the development and application of PMD technology. Its products continue push forward the limits of this innovative technology. The patented material it uses can withstand temperatures that are much higher than PET, which is used to create the majority of planar drivers. The unique design of the material reduces effects diffraction which can occur when soundwaves travel through narrow gaps or curves.

In the end, its speakers and headphones are known for their exceptionally clear and detailed sound that isn't distorted. They're also more responsive than cone drivers which helps improve their bass response. They can also reproduce high frequencies with astonishing accuracy, and are capable of producing powerful, deep bass.
