Hi fellow ASR members, for a while now I've been thinking about modernizing ASR logo and finally, I gave it a go. First, a bit of context. I'm an art director working in the field for almost 20 years now in various design roles and wanted to give something back to ASR community. The logo seems...

Hello ASR, Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful week of weather (depending on your location, I suppose). I'm looking at a couple different case designs for an upcoming DIY project, and will likely be using it as direct reference for an upcoming launch offering fully assembled Hypex and...

Long time lurker, first time poster. In an interview at Erin's Audio Corner, Purifi co-founder Lars Risbo mentioned that a driver playing a narrow passband can generally produce higher SPL than the same driver playing a wider part of the spectrum. If this is true, there must be some...

Now we have had discussions about our favourite IKEA design gems and your favourite Listening chair but how about other cool, beautiful or stylish audio furniture do you know? Chairs, cabinets or perhaps sound dampening paneling? Me, I came across the Hay Colour cabinet today, a vintage...

1st of all, I had a bachelor degree in electronic engineering so I can understand most of the technicality term in sound and frequency domain. But as I'm just starting my beginner journey in audiophile path with cheap Presonus Eris 3.5 pair + Sub 8, I want to ask something about a very popular...

A fascinating insight into the design of the LS50 Meta. Lots of interesting visualisations so even a layperson like me can follow along!

I'd like to say, in the past ~5 years or so, we've seen the advent of the "transparency" era. Sure, you still get one or two turds here and there, but for the most part, companies are catching on that measurements matter, and we're entering a new era of endgame transparency in audio equipment...

Good day everyone - So I’ve been looking into various methods of applying a cardioid response into different designs - things like resistive enclosures, active methods with rear drivers, and such The thing that concerns me is that I’ve always wondered if it’s actually worth the effort - I’ve...

Hello! Just found Peter Aczel's (RIP) "Journalistic Legacy" article about his experience and knowledge of six decades of audio: http://www.biline.ca/audio_critic/audio_critic_web1.htm#acl He mentioned "monkey coffins" in his article and as far as I understand he was not a fan of such...

This is not related to audio science at all, really. More like my ad-laden side bar randomly showed me this thing that simultaneously blew me away by its uselessness (it's a 5lb DAP) and beauty.

I wish I had time to read all the acoustic and speaker design books I have (and have access to) so I could learn about in-polarity designs vs in-phase-at-xover designs. I come from a live sound background, and it seems this is the equivalent, please correct me if I am wrong: 1. Take the sound...

Hey, at the moment I am building a 2-way bluetooth speaker. I have to create a new crossover because I have annoying frequencies at around 2600hz I used this speakers: Dayton ND105-4 4" 60 - 10,000 Hz Dayton ND16FA-6 5/8'' 3,500 - 27,000 Hz At first I used Vituix CAD 1 to design a new...

As I read other parts of the forum, found there was not an obvious home for speaker cabinet design, so hope this helps organize a bit better. Personally am interested in whatever can be done to improve the sound quality of a speaker, but also how it affects the speaker cost. Whether it be...
