We have available an affordable, ready to use electrostatic panel that can be built into either a bookshelf, stand mount or floor standing loudspeaker. This panel was the result of collaboration between E R Audio and Reality Technologies of Melbourne. The panel was primarily designed for incorporation into a floor standing loudspeaker and is now available to the DIY community. Do not let the small size fool you, this panel does really perform well throughout the bandwidth it was designed for.

Naturally the panel cannot deliver really low frequencies and requires a sub-woofer or bass driver to give full range response, however, when coupled with a good quality sub it really does deliver the goods. What does it cost? (plus 10% GST for domestic purchases). What do you get? You get 2x ready made and tested ESL panels, 2x power supplies and 2x step-up transformers.

DIY Speaker Kits. HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. Inspired by Marcelo Coehlo’s paper speaker and Vincent Leclerc’s Accouphene textile speaker, these paper and fabric speakers are made by running 5-9V sound amplified signal through a very conductive coil in close proximity to a magnet.

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

Unlike most speakers that have the wire coil wrapped cylindrically and placed around the magnet, here the coil is in the plane and directly adhered to the membrane that moves the air creating sound. The coils can be made from a variety of conductive materials. Copper tape, conductive fabric tape, conductive fabric and stainless steel thread work really well. Gold leaf does not work as well (yet!) In comparison. The coils can be fused to a variety of membrane materials such as paper, vellum, veneer, fabric, transparency, tissue paper… Wild Burro Audio Labs - Fullrange Speakers - The Betsy & Betsy-K Drivers.

A little while ago I got bored with sitting watching television catching flies in my mouth, so I decided to do something different.

DIY Speakers

Mt Everest had already been climbed, so I figured I might as well make my own speakers. After all, the raw material cost of your average high end speaker is about 1/6 the retail cost so there was money to be saved. A slight problem is that I have the woodworking skills of a dolphin, but then I came across the website of Seigfried Linkwitz, may the sun shine always upon his pate.

SL, if I may call him that, was the designer of the Audio Artistry Beethoven, a speaker which won Stereofool's Speaker of the Year a few years back, he also designed the Linkwitz/Riley crossover. I heard a pair once and loved them. Best of all, the actual woodworking side of it seemed pretty basic. The Subwoofer DIY Page.

Sound reproduction is about creating illusions in our mind, in that amazing information processor between our two ears. Sound reproduction involves physical processes to generate air vibrations that move our eardrums and in turn stimulate mental processes, that have evolved over millions of years for the purpose of survival and for communication, processes that lead to perception of the sound source and its environment. While we can measure many different physical parameters involved in the generation and propagation of a sound field, it becomes exceedingly difficult to assess their relative importance to what we hear and how it helps or detracts from the illusion.

First of all, DIY speakers use the same parts, building materials (usually), and design techniques of HiFi speakers in the 4 and 5-figure range. This means you can have that "rich" sound at a fraction of the retail cost. Second, by learning the science behind the design of loudspeakers, a lot of the mysticism and mythology that plagues the audiophile world becomes dispelled, and you learn what is important--and what is irrelevant--in exceptional sound reproduction.

With the sides, top and bottom of the cabinets drying, it's a good time to start work on the front and back panels.

How to Build Custom Speakers

First time builders may choose to simplify this step and simply cut a large circle opening for the speaker driver to mount in. In that case, the speaker drivers' frame will rest on the surface of the speaker, protruding an 1/8" or so. For a truly professional look, however, you'll want to recess the drivers so that they mount flush with the front face. In either case, the first step is to cut out a circle that accommodates your driver. I use a plunge router fitted with a Jasper Circle Jig. If you are using a router, use a 1/8" or 1/4" straight bit to cut out the circle so you end up removing as little material as possible. Once the circles are cut, it's time to tackle the optional recess. To do this you need to create a pattern template. Once the patterns have been created, center and mount it into place on the front face. How to Build Custom Speakers. Building a Do-It-Yourself Loudspeaker Design.

It is nearly impossible to justify, to the average person, spending tens of thousands to millions of dollars on loudspeakers for personal enjoyment.
