A magnetostatic loudspeaker is a dipole loudspeaker that is similar to an electrostatic loudspeaker but instead of using high voltages, uses high currents.Permanent magnets provide a STATIC magnetic field.(that is why they call them Magnetostats) Wires or strips carrying audio frequency currents are bonded to a thin diaphragm. The current flowing in the conductors interacts with the magnetic field and creates sound in much the same way as in a conventional dynamic driver. :)
