Abstract: This specification describes a transducer configured to convert electrical signals into vibrational movement. The transducer comprises an axially-magnetised reciprocating magnet, wherein the axially-magnetised reciprocating magnet comprises an aperture such that the reciprocating magnet has an inner boundary and an outer boundary. The transducer further comprises at least two pairs of concentrically positioned electromagnetic solenoids, the at least two pairs of concentrically positioned electromagnetic solenoids being configured to drive the reciprocating magnet to reciprocate in a volume above and below the reciprocating magnet.
