The effects of acceptor doping with manganese as either MnO 2 or MnNb 2 O 6 (MnN) with CuO on the dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of PIN‐PMN‐PT ceramics were investigated. The 2% MnNb 2 O 6 ‐doped PIN‐PMN‐PT (6Pb(Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐25Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 ‐34Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐35PbTiO 3 ) ceramics possessed hard properties such as high coercive field ( E C ) of 11.7 kV/cm, low dielectric loss (tan δ ) of 0.7%, and high electromechanical quality factor ( Q M ) of 1011. These properties were diminished in MnO 2 ‐doped ceramics because of lower oxygen vacancy defect concentration, and exaggerated grain growth resulted in >20 µm grain size. Co‐doping with 2 mol% MnNb 2 O 6 and 0.5 mol% CuO retained hardened properties such as high E C of 9.6 kV/cm, low tan δ of 0.6%, and high Q M of 1029. MnNb 2 O 6 ‐doped and MnNb 2 O 6  + Cu co‐doped ceramics display excellent figures of merit for resonance and off‐resonance applications as well as high energy conversion efficiencies which make them promising candidates for high‐power transducer elements.
