Abstract
A speaker device includes a pair of diaphragms disposed opposite each other, a frame configured to vibratably support an outer periphery of the diaphragms in a vibration direction, and a plurality of driving parts configured to support a rear surface of each of the diaphragms and vibrate the diaphragms in response to an audio signal. The plurality of the driving parts include a pair of magnetic circuits in which a magnetic gap is formed in a direction different from the vibration direction of the diaphragms, a pair of voice coils vibratably arranged in the magnetic gap in one axis direction, vibrating so as to move toward or away from each other in response to the audio signal, and a rigid vibration direction converter part direction-converting the vibration of the voice coils and transmitting the vibration to the diaphragms.
