ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSDUCERS AND METHODS OF MAKING

摘要

Electromagnetic transducers suitable for a variety of uses, including but not limited to musical instrument pickups. Such a transducer has a primary loop formed by an electrically conductive strip having oppositely-disposed ends and a slot extending therebetween that defines electrically conductive runners. The strip is bent to define a first section of the primary loop that overlies a second section of the primary loop and a gap therebetween. The transducer further comprises sensing or driving elements that are at least partially received in the slot in the first section of the primary loop and a transformer electrically connected to the strip at one of the ends thereof opposite the first section of the primary loop.

1. An electromagnetic transducer comprising:
a primary loop comprising an electrically conductive strip having oppositely-disposed ends and a slot extending therebetween that defines electrically conductive runners, the strip being bent to define a first section of the primary loop that overlies a second section of the primary loop and a gap therebetween; sensing or driving elements at least partially received in the slot in the first section of the primary loop, the sensing or driving elements being permanent magnets and/or pole pieces; and a transformer electrically connected to the strip at one of the ends thereof opposite the first section of the primary loop.
