The magnet structure and the audio generating apparatus including the same capable of minimizing magnetic flux leakage to reduce THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) are disclosed. The audio generating apparatus according to the present invention, which is attached to an inner surface of an audio device, includes: a frame provided with a through-hole; a suspension plate attached to the frame; a center magnet disposed under the suspension plate; a peripheral magnet surrounding the center magnet with a gap therebetween; a yoke accommodating the peripheral magnet; a voice coil having a lower end inserted in the gap between the center magnet and the peripheral magnet, wherein the voice coil is coupled to and inserted in the suspension plate to generate an electric field and vibrate vertically in response to an audio signal applied thereto; and a center pole having an upper end coupled to the suspension plate within the through-hole.

An apparatus includes a surface arranged to be mechanically displaced, first permanent magnet coupled with the surface, at least one supporting member for supporting the surface, base, second permanent magnet, coil coupled with the second magnet, and signal port electrically coupled with the coil. An electrical signal is configured to travel between the signal port and the coil. The electrical signal in the coil is proportional to mechanic displacement of the surface when a force equilibrium state of the surface is broken by the electrical signal in the coil or the mechanic displacement of the surface from a position of the force equilibrium state. The coil is arranged at least partially between the first magnet and the second magnet or around one of the first magnet, the second magnet. Either the same or different polarities of the first and second magnets are arranged to directly face each other at a distance.

A wearable loudspeaker includes a magnetic-flux-carrying housing that houses an acoustic sealing structure that separates an interior of the housing into a back volume and a front volume acoustically coupled to a sound port. A first coil is retained in the front volume and comprises a first winding about a corresponding first magnetic core. A second coil is retained in the back volume and comprises a second winding about a corresponding second magnetic core. Opposing surfaces of the first and second magnetic cores have opposite magnetic polarities and produce a magnetic field in a gap between the first and second coils. A magnetic-flux-carrying armature is movably located in the gap and fastened to the acoustic sealing structure. Sound is emitted from the sound port when the armature moves the acoustic sealing structure in the gap.
