A rare earth magnet that is several times more powerful than conventional materials such as ferrite. This allows for very compact loudspeaker motors, which can be designed to be self shielding to minimize interference with CRT video displays. See Motor, Magnetic Shielding.
A rare earth element used in glass that filters out the excessive yellow spectrum to which our eyes are most sensitive.
A feature that provides high sensitivity to headphones. Neodymium is a lightweight material that creates the highest magnetic strength to mass magnets, but without added weight or bulk.
