Dell x50v magnetic!

the speaker on the x50v must be magnetic becuase when I set my x50v down some little screws stuck to the D-pad.

Any Pics?

Gotta see this.

Yep it's true. I confirmed this just now>

Of course it's magnetic . How do you think a speaker works?

oh..that must be why my x50v keeps attaching itself to the fridge...LOL

I know but it's so magnetic it can pic up screws.

The stronger the magnet, the better the sound!

have you heard the titanium speakers from sharperimage? they are 2" big and sound like 24" 500 watt bose speakers!

Yes, a speaker is simply an electromagnet attatched to the cone which works with a stationary magnet on the frame of the speaker. The audio signal is sent to the speaker as an alternating current (oscillating at the frequency of the sound, of course) and as the polarity changes at the frequency of the sound, the electromagnet in the cone is being attracted and repelled from the stationary magnet at this frequency, creating sound. Of course your axim's speaker is able to attract screws just as any speaker would.

No, a stronger magnet does not necessarily mean better sound. All a stronger magnet really indicates is a higher efficiency. I would only worry about the raw strength of the magnet in a speaker to be used for low frequency reproduction, i.e. a woofer or subwoofer.

I didn't test it with screws, but it does attract me.. :love: so I think it is magnetic
