1. Means for sensing the motion of sound generating member of a sound reproducing system, wherein said means comprise:
- at least one Hall generator, linked to and mechanically driven by said sound generating member;
a reference magnet structure, comprising two magnets, wherein said magnets form single gap between their homonymous poles, and wherein spatial relation of said reference magnet structure to said Hall generator results in said Hall generator reciprocating along the axis connecting said homonymous poles of said reference magnet structure;
a current source energizing said Hall generator; and
an amplifier jointly responsive to an input signal and a feedback signal, derived from said Hall generator.

Abstract
A sound reproducing system with motional feedback utilizes a Hall generator, mechanically driven by the sound generating member of the system and disposed in an inhomogenous magnetic field, as a source of the feedback signal. It is a feature of the present invention that the feedback signal closely follows the movements of the sound generating member irrespective of the acoustic frequency.
