I know it doesn't sound appealing but I need a couple brave souls who might be interested in being involved in helping me to prototype some active speakers. I have a good part of the design done on the first couple models so it would be a fairly quick commitment.
What do you get out of it? You get to help me develop documentation, give me feedback & input on voicing and in the end for all your hard work.... you get a set of speakers at the cost of parts (my cost). It should be fun but you have to be ready to lend a hand and give me feedback in a timely manner. It is probably a $600 commitment in funds for a pair of active speakers that will be fairly full-bandwidth (about 35Hz is the low-end). The electronics are all in small monoblocks... machined from aluminum so they are cute little guys. The first model is designed around the PE 0.5 cubic foot cabinet so it will not look like a Frankenstein prototype speaker and in the end... you will have a very nice set of speakers with amplification.
Qualifications: You need to have some DIY skills.... soldering and comfort with populating a PCB, bolting together parts, wiring a power supply etc.... You need to have some ears..... and some practical time spent in critical listening. You also need to be able to lend some feedback and help on writing documentation.
Just drop me a PM if interested. I know it is a lot to ask but for the right person... it could be a gratifying experience.
Best,
Kevin Haskins
