SAE Magazine 13-2

With the students present, a jury of supervisors and professors was formed. The judging process included reproducing a small fragment of audio, the same for every speaker, in order to choose the ones that performed the best. This exercise turned out to be interesting because one of the rules was that students had to use the same woofer. The importance of how well the enclosure is con- structed to the loudspeaker’s performance becomes evident. Beyond the evaluation, it is always exciting to be in a room with dozens of loudspeakers which, in cer- tain ways, reflect each student’s character. It is clear the exercise restored students’ faith in the concepts and principles behind speaker production, summed up by one student who said: “I thought it would sound worse.” Armed with tools, wood, glue, wire and stacks of ideas the students put in hours of manual labour. They will have learned a lot from their speaker build- ing. And the next time they stand in front of a vibrating speaker they will know a little bit more about how it works.
