In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method of driving a playback waveform to an electromagnetic actuator by a transducer driving system may include operating the transducer driving system in a first mode wherein the electromagnetic actuator is driven with the playback waveform in a closed loop to form a closed-loop voltage drive system that includes a negative impedance, operating the transducer driving system in a second mode wherein the electromechanical actuator is driven with the playback waveform in an open loop, and operating a mode switch for transitioning the transducer driving system to operate between the first mode and the second mode.
