When pursuing ultimate fidelity in headphone and loudspeaker design, engineers constantly battle distortion and non-linearities. Two advanced design paradigms that address these issues are radial magnet structures and underhung voice coils. While both approaches aim to linearize motor force and improve transient response, they influence the mechanical behavior of the diaphragm—specifically driver breakup—in distinct ways. Understanding this relationship is crucial for audiophiles and designers seeking uncolored sound reproduction.
