ABSTRACT A demagnetization apparatus for use with magnetically based electronic article surveillance systems having a dual status anti-theft marker containing at least one demagnetizable control element which when demagnetized allows the marker to be detected by the system when the marker is present in an interrogation zone. The apparatus includes an elongated magnetic section contained within a housing which exhibits a succession of fields of alternate polarity and a portion of which exhibits generally decreasing intensities at the working surface of the housing along that portion of the section. The peak intensity of the outermost field is controlled to have a peak intensity less than that of adjacent regions. The section and a cover plate are oriented such that the external fields near the working surface are sufficient in intensities to demagnetize the demagnetizable element of the marker positioned proximate thereto while being rapidly attenuated a short distance from the section. Accordingly, magnetically sensitive articles, such as for example, prerecorded magnetic cassettes, to which the markers are affixed, are not adversely affected.
