Market Research
Interior air tight modules variables:
tweeters
woofers
drivers
passive resonators
benchmarking price point/quality products in the bluetooth speaker market
Highly saturated market, the "story" is going to make the difference
Noting manufacturing/construction of products through teardowns
takeaways:
Competitve Products
CMF: takeaways:
interiors modules are made from plastic (complex shapes)
exterior casing are usually plastic, sometimes aluminum
fabric mesh is common (plastic usually)
Features Ideation
Focus/Bass
Boom
Lo-Fi
SOUND: materials and form case study
Takeaways: Hardwood
Acoustic qualities:
-
Reduced Resonance: if material is too dense it would become muffled
-
Enhanced Warmth: related to eliminating resonance
-
Improved Clarity: Clarity can be improved with a more dense material
-
Increased Loudness: No having enough volume of air on the inside of the speaker cabin can create loudness issues
Craft:
-
Limitation on form
-
Design made with basic woodworking techniques: Router, Drill, Sander, Mill
Testing different depths to hear the effect of material density and thickness on sound projected
Multiple wall thickness and interior cabin volume
Takeaways: Plastic
Acoustic qualities:
-
Resonance: Unappealing resonance in the sound, could be fixed with design changes.
-
No warmth, brightness: caused by the resonance
-
Clarity: there's clear sound coloration leading to unwanted results
-
Accuracy: No sound dampening which lead to a noisy/dirty sounds
Craft:
-
Little limitation on form.
-
Design made with generative design techniques: Grasshopper, Maya, Blender.
-
Not a positive, can easily get out of hand.
