Eyeball - a bookshelf speaker

This speaker has been on the boil and bubble for quite a while... I'm hoping to "finalise" the design before too long. This design does need an active crossover.

Eyeball

Without boasting, I think it solves most of the problems of bookshelf speakers. The problems:

  • The speakers don't actually fit into the shelf. Seriously, I've been there.
  • If the speakers do fit, they have no bass and/or they blow up. Done that too.
  • You can't toe the speakers in. It just doesn't work that well with a rectangular speaker on a shelf.

The above is a design that addresses all three issues.

  • The bass module and the mod/treble module can be separated. Up to 600 mm (2 ft) vertical separation between the modules can be tolerated (although less is better).
  • The speaker uses a fairly robust driver and box design
  • The mid-tweet module ("eyeball") can be rotated to point in any direction you like.
