A transducer including a driven element and a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly is coupled to the driven element and includes a first, second and third magnet. Each of the magnets have a first and second magnetic pole. The first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the first magnetic pole of the second magnet being proximate to each other and facing each other thereby defining a magnetic zone therebetween. The second magnetic pole of the third magnet being magnetically proximate to said magnetic zone. The first magnetic poles all having the same polarity, and the second magnetic poles all having the same polarity.
