If you look, the voice coil is actually wound in the vertical axis, so it looks like a line if you're looking from the front of the woofer. It's almost like a voicecoil on its side.
This particular unit has four neo magnets.
It looks like the different magnets have slightly different strength, or gap distance?

As usual, all the interesting audio engineering is happening in sound reinforcement and soundbars.

Resonado’s patented Res-Core architecture enables a wider bandwidth of pistonic behavior - a perfectly even wavefront emanates from the surface of our diaphragms, which creates crisp sound reproduction and reinforces the breadth of the soundstage found in modern music.
