Welcome to S. M. Audio Engineering.
After a yearlong investigation,
Steve Mowry uncovered an interesting but troubling story
from within the loudspeaker industry.
You can download his manuscript
here.
S. M. AUDIO ENGINEERING is a small family owned and operated consulting
company for engineering and new product development.
We specialize in audio transducer and
loudspeaker system design and development, concurrent project management, large
signal measurements, assembly processes, quality control, supplier
identification, and documentation. The emphasis is on
implementing the highest performance technologies, topologies, and materials
application using powerful software and hardware tools to determine optimal
geometries and to quickly solve design, development, and manufacturing problems.
Solutions
for your company’s audio transducer or loudspeaker product lines are
available. The challenges that companies face to competitiveness and prosperity
can be opportunities to formulate new plans that are better suited to today’s
market conditions. Quality and value must be designed into products. After
years of R&D, a select list of products has been assembled that represent the
“State Of The Art” in loudspeaker and headphone implementations. These products
include but are not limited to Brush Wellman Electrofusion’s
Truextent
Acoustic Grade Beryllium diaphragms,
Carbon or Aramid fiber skins + hard foam core
sandwich composite cones and dust caps, Acrylic and Poron trick surrounds, Nomex
and Acrylic trick spiders. In addition, there are transducers with complementary
symmetrical push-pull topology that include a 30mm STEALLUS
AIRCORE
Beryllium Dome Tweeter,
8-in
STEALLUS
Midbase,
11-in STEALLUS X Subwoofer, and STEALLUS HYBRID headphone and high frequency
transducers. Then for active loudspeaker implementations at the highest
standards, there are KSC’s
DIGMODA
modules with D-PRO Window’s DSP software and
ICE Power Class D low distortion - high power amplifier modules.
Just connect your
PC to the loudspeaker and use the D-PRO software to control and optimize driver
gain, phase, crossover filtering, equalization, limiters and expanders.
Resistors, capacitors and inductors seem so primitive in comparison.
What this means to the small- to mid-sized loudspeaker related company is that
there is now “Take-Out R&D” ready, available, and conveniently located in SE
Asia. The question then becomes not if you can afford R&D and New Product
Development, but rather can you afford to do nothing to be competitive and to
assure your company’s future?
S. M. Audio Engineering offers services and
loudspeaker related products with support at the highest standards possible but
at the lowest prices due in part to the
“Lean Business Model”
that is applied to new product development. For a FREE written evaluation of
options for upgrading your competitiveness for market share, contact
