Magnets for Loudspeakers
All loudspeakers have permanent magnets inside. The more energy the magnet contains the larger the sound that the speakers can produce.Speakers use all different magnets types to suit a particular application.
- Ferrite is the lowest cost and most widely produced permanent magnet and is common in speakers.
- Neodymium magnets can generate the same sound in a smaller package compared to ferrite.
- Speaker magnets need to be dimensionally very accurate for flatness and are often ground on the top and bottom face to ensure good concentricity when assembled.

Engineered Magnets for Loudspeaker Systems
Without magnets in your speakers, your favourite tunes would not be heard. The core component producing sound in audio equipment is a magnetic assembly. Each speaker requires an electrical current pumped into the voice coil. When that current is alternated, a magnetic field is produced which acts in either opposition or attraction to the permanent magnetic field created by the magnets. This oscillation creates the sound that you hear. The more energy the magnet contains, the louder the speaker.
Most loudspeakers have ferrite magnets inside, they are good value where size is unrestricted. They also resist corrosion, which is helpful for outdoor audio systems.
