This is a hands-on introduction to the engineering and art of speaker design. How speakers work, the acoustics of enclosure design, baffle layout and crossover electronics will all be covered. We also examine the frequency response and distortion behavior of individual drivers and see how these are influenced by the design. Students will make enclosure parts as a team then assemble and finish their own pair of speakers. No experience is required, but budget 20 hours of shop time in addition to the scheduled meetings. Materials fee covers the cost of components and unfinished enclosure. Plastic laminate or other finish is an additional cost.
