An Exciter is an electroacoustic transducer.
[1] Exciters differ from the more common loudspeaker in that they have no cone and rely on being connected to a surface or object that can be used as a resonator via a mechanical connection.
They have been used in several projects with novel resonators[2] and are readily available from several supplies.
