Brief

At the start of the project I was given a brief for my project.
The brief was to design and make a pair of high quality functioning electrotatic speakers, and a functioning crossover.

The conditions of the brief were that the speaker cabinets had to be an original shape, and that we must have to show the design process.

Outcome:

Having the tweeter and woofer on a different axis means that the sound quality is improved. Generally you do calculations to find the correct distance between the woofer and tweeters for the optimum quality , we didn't do this but Terry tuned the port differently to account for this.

Having the long sheet of Aliminium metal turns the speakers into electrostatic speaks, as the sound waves travel up the sheet of metal and a dispersed more evenly, creating a higher sound quality for all frequencies of sound wave.
