Mark One

Sound System One

Sound System One, also presented as Mark One, brings a woofer and a midrange driver together in one body. Its narrow form was designed to create a slight sense of instability and visual tension.

Learning through the body

I started the project to understand internal acoustic pressure and learn how to construct a speaker enclosure from scratch. The process became an opportunity to test fabrication methods and explore the relationship between what a speaker looks like and how it is built.

Inside the prototype

Developing a complete professional circuit independently proved difficult at this stage. The prototype nevertheless became an important foundation for the audio systems and structural experiments that followed.
