• Author: Price, Michael
• Subject: Science and Technology
• Institution Name: M.I.T.
• Collection: MIT Highlights for High School
• Grade Level: Secondary

• Abstract: Take a hands-on ride through the fundamentals of electronics and acoustics, and the process of loudspeaker design and construction. Learn about the engineering and art involved throughout music/movie recording and playback, the design and application of everything from microphones to DACs, amplifiers, and speakers. With the aid of computer assisted audio measuring equipment at the MIT Edgerton Center, analyze the frequency response and distortion of speaker drivers, and understand their effect on what we hear. Design your own speakers - driver selection, crossover networks, and enclosure design - and build them in class!
