Product Design and Development

• Comprehensive transducer design experience and capabilities, including mechanical, electromagnetic, heat transfer, fluid flow, and acoustic prediction, measurement, analysis, and synthesis. This includes finite element analysis (FEA), boundary element analysis (BEA), and custom lumped parameter modeling tools, as well as commercial loudspeaker specific tools such as LEAP, XOPT, MLSSA, and others...

• Complete CAD solutions, using AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, or SolidWorks for everything from simple 2-D drawings to complex 3-D parametric solid model assemblies. Solid modeling experience is essential for rapid prototyping and fastest overall time-to-market. Most tooling can be created directly from the 3-D solid data, eliminating the time-consuming and mistake prone drawing regeneration and translation process, ensuring that the parts are right the first time.

• Rapid Prototyping expertise, including coil winding, vacuum and heat forming, stereolithography, and metal work. The time from concept to prototype is often measured in days rather than weeks or months.

• Technical documentation, including bills of materials, fully detailed 2-D drawings with custom borders, electronic CAD data, and renderings.

R&D and Manufacturing Solutions

• Product and process design for various assembly environments (manual through fully automated) to minimize cost and maximize quality and output.

• Innovative solutions to complex engineering problems, including low resonance/high power handling tweeters, ultra-high output port tubes, high excursion to surface area suspension geometry, system level transducer parameter optimization, and more...

• Long history of standout designs, weaving together the interests of design, marketing, manufacturing, and the vendor base to provide unique, creative, cost effective, and attractive solutions to challenging design problems.
