Abstract
Abstract According to the invention, the electrodynamic transducer comprises a coil with a pair of sections wound in opposite directions. Placed inside the coil is a magnet capable of moving in a longitudinal direction. The unlike poles of the magnet are located in different sections of the coil. The magnet is mechanically coupled to an actuator. The stereophonic and monophonic pickup heads and the electrodynamic microphone are built around said electrodynamic transducer.
