DIY Audio for the Maker Generation

Learn about DIY hi-fi, acoustics, circular economy, and more in our blog.

Circular Sound Loudspeakers

This article describes the Circular Sound loudspeaker models in detail. We will dive into the technical specifications and also go into detail on how you can build your own

Good feelings by recycling loudspeakers

“The transition to a circular economy needs to produce good feelings in addition to measurable positive outcomes”, writes Joonas Sirviö


RD Physics BB project

BB1 and BB2 are two versions of our boombox design. No internal batteries means this DIY build is good for the planet and your wallet. Power is supplied via a USB-C interface.


RD Physics CX2

A coaxial loudspeaker with 3D printed enclosure means coherent radiation, minimal edge diffraction and stiff panels in a convenient one-piece print.


RD Physics CX1

A coaxial loudspeaker 3D printed from wood using the Desktop Metal Forust method.


Artificial intelligence in loudspeaker design

AI is gaining popularity and some have used it to create images of loudspeakers. We show the best results so far and explain how AI can help loudspeaker designers.
