See explanation here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnepan#Overview

From the article:


“Magneplanar's reproducing mechanism comprises thin conductive wires and or foil strips attached to a thin sheet of Mylar residing in a magnetic field created by a vertical array of permanent strip magnets. When an amplified signal is applied to the conductors, the resultant electrical forces react with the magnetic field to excite the Mylar film sheet, which projects sound as a dipole.”

Key words:
magnets = magne
Panels = pan
