Prepare an overview of various implementations of passive studio monitors, select the most suitable implementation for you based on the desired characteristics, realize it and optimize the performance of the constructed speakers.
In audio there is an ongoing challenge of achieving good sound reproduction. Good sound reproduction can be defined by many parameters, but the most important ones for quality studio monitors are low linear and non-linear distortion and the dependence of sound pressure amplitude on frequency (in an idealized case this would be a constant function).
A budget of 1500 EUR has been set for the execution of this thesis, which corresponds to the market prices of mid-range studio monitors form manufacturers such as Genelec, Neumann, Adam Audio etc. In the realization of the studio monitors, the aim is to achieve as constant a frequency response as possible, minimal linear and non-linear distortions, a spatially efficient design, and representation of the lowest frequencies of the audible range (good performance even at frequencies below 80 Hz).
The undergraduate dissertation describes the entire process of creating dedicated studio monitors. It consists of simulations of various drivers, enclosure design, selection of suitable driver combinations, construction of the enclosure and mounting of components, and of course the measurements of the final product.
