Master Thesis – Shaping Sound: How Modular Speaker Design Affects Acoustic Performance

Job Title

Job Description

Category

Mechanics, Product Development, Technical Design.

Scope

Two students completing a master thesis, 30 hp each.

Background

At Axis New Business Audio, we develop network audio products for security and other applications. A line-array speaker combines multiple drivers whose sound waves interact to create a particular sound distribution. In a modular design, differences in the position of driver and chamber assemblies may affect how these sound waves combine.

Goal

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how variations in the height and depth position of modular assemblies affect the acoustic performance of a line-array speaker. The work will explore the relationship between mechanical tolerances and factors such as frequency response, phase interaction and sound coverage.

The project may include physical prototyping and CAD, acoustic measurements, analysis of positional variations, and collaboration with mechanical – and audio engineers.

Who are you?

Students interested in acoustics, product development, mechanical design, studying Mechanical Engineering, Product Development and/or Technical Design.
