Hi borism,
I've actually been working with some pretty sharp minds on three major projects within the world of home world.
One of these projects involves an ingenious variation on the bipolar theme. The inventor has done a great deal of experimenting and discovery, and I am now working on a dedicated prototype system that will incorporate radiation patterns and other characteristics optimized for this application. I'm actually right in the middle of crossover design now.
One of these projects involves a new type of loudspeaker enclosure. It draws from disciplines not traditionally associated with loudspeaker design, and much of what's going on inside (and outside - that is, out in the room) is frankly over my head. The inventors have licensed me to bring their technology into the home audio world. I have built several prototypes so far, moving my way up the learning curve.
The third joint project is... probably too early to say much about it, except that it involves a specific amplifier/loudspeaker match-up.
In solo projects, I'll soon be posting pics of a new monopole speaker and a new bipolar speaker.
I continue to do a fair amount of work in the bass guitar cab and studio monitor world. A recording studio with main monitors that I designed was honored in Mix Magazine's "Class of 2013" feature article in the June issue. In addition, I have done some crossover design work for other manufacturers on the prosound side.
I will be exhibiting at RMAF this year, though I do not yet know which speakers will be there. But I think I can say with a fair amount of confidence that they will be something very few people have seen before.
