Although this happens irrespective of whether iron or SMC is used, the transparency to the flux lines is very different between the two materials. Unlike iron, SMC behaves uniformly, regardless of frequency, which greatly lowers distortion in the magnet system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a loudspeaker where the same current is running through the voice-coil and filter components, SMC's properties mean the voice-coil's self-inductance is unchanged with frequency.
