In the thesis the use of plywood for the construction of a flat panel (DML) loudspeaker was examined. With measurements of the frequency response, the usability of plywood was compared to the use of a synthetic material (polyethylene). It was found that plywood produces a higher average sound pressure level and a flatter frequency response than polyethylene, but the latter produces higher sound pressure at frequencies below 100 Hz. It was found that placements of the audio exciter which are not dramatically different between each other do not have a meaningful impact on the frequency response of the flat panel loudspeaker. A simulation model was constructed in Ansys Mechanical, and the experimental data was compared to the results of the finite element analysis. It was found out that the relationship between the model and experimental data was satisfactory.
