1. A loudspeaker which comprises:
- (a) first and second flat steel perforated sheets,(b) a first row of longitudinally extending magnets of alternating polarity, mounted on said first steel sheet with perforations between the magnets,(c) a second row of longitudinally extending magnets of alternating polarity mounted on said second steel sheet with perforations between the magnets,(d) means spacing said first and second sheets, to space said second row from said first row by an air gap,(e) magnets of like polarities and dimensions in said respective row facing and being parallel to each othe across said gap,(f) a diaphragm situated midway in said gap between said respective magnet rows,(g) a plurality of conductors supported by said diaphragm and extending parallel to said longitudinally extending magnets,(h) said magnets and conductors and diaphragm arranged to form a high frequency speaker element in the central region of said magnet rows and low frequency or mid-frequency regions on either side of said high frequency region.

Abstract
One aspect of the invention is an integrated induction speaker which produces coherent high frequency and low frequency output. In this embodiment, the high frequency unit is centered between the two split halves of the low frequency unit. Another aspect of the invention is a configuration for a midrange or bass speaker having a very uniform magnetic field and excellent linearity.
