Designer | 2023 – present
Redefining home audio by blending timeless design with future-proof customizability.
Key Design Goals
01 - A system that evolves with you
Many speakers force a choice between convenience and craft — plug-and-play wireless systems or bespoke, fixed-function hi-fi rigs.
02 - No tradeoff between sound and aesthetic
Instead of a single predefined size or shape, the enclosure is fully parametric. Customers (or builders) can tune both tone and aesthetic before manufacturing, balancing acoustic goals with personal taste.
03 - Structural rigidity and ease of construction
Each speaker centers on a rigid aluminum frame that improves sound quality by damping vibrations.
01
A system that evolves with you
Unlike other loudspeakers, there is no tradeoff between convenience and personal taste. A passive speaker can be upgraded to a smart and/or active one by simply adding an internal amp and optional wireless connectivity.
In addition, standard metric hardware allows for easy removal and upgrade of the speaker components or changing the enclosure, like from pine to walnut or ceramic.
Replaceable panels
Standard metric hardware
Active or Passive options
02
No tradeoff between sound and aesthetic
A fully parametric digital twin allows for the speaker to be tuned not just sonically, but also aesthetically prior to manufacturing. It also enables customization of dimensions without dramatically increasing complexity of fabrication.
Prototypes v4/5
03
Structural rigidity and ease of construction
Each loudspeaker is constructed around a rigid aluminum frame, improving sound quality by dampening vibrations.
The mechanical construction method avoids permanently gluing any major parts, simplifying fabrication, assembly, and repair.
