Loudspeaker & speaker construction
If you want to build your speakers, from the idea to the finished system, you will find various components for speaker and loudspeaker construction in our online store. These are by and and are ideal for putting together your speaker systems. Our online store offers you a wide selection of different tweeters and bass speakers so that you can implement your project individually and professionally when building speakers. You can also choose from compression drivers, soft dome tweeters, guitar speakers, and much more – components that you need to build your own loudspeaker or speaker system. These components not only impress with their compact and high-quality appearance but also know how to impress with their outstanding sound.
You can also choose from , bass speakers, and subwoofers, which can also be installed in speaker cabinets to acoustically amplify sound systems. You can also use for speaker construction – according to your wishes and requirements!
Except for the , the speakers in our assortment - both tweeters and woofers - are equipped with a magnet made of either ferrite or neodymium. Both elements are rare earth elements. They are lightweight, have a certain robustness, and are reliable in use. In addition, high-quality materials are also used in the production of our DIY speakers for manufacturing cones and voice coils – for an impressive sound experience!
When building your speakers, you also have the option of selecting speakers and subwoofers according to impedance, frequency range, and sensitivity – depending on the acoustic performance you are looking for from the speakers and the requirements of your events. After all, your music should be heard in the best possible sound!
A look at the history of loudspeakers
The history of the loudspeaker goes back to the 19th century. After all, the development of the loudspeaker is closely linked to the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. In 1878, Werner von Siemens made a major contribution to the construction of the first “modern” loudspeaker: in this year, the German electrical engineer was granted a patent for an electrodynamic loudspeaker, which – due to the lack of an audio amplifier – was not (yet) able to develop its full effect. Sir Oliver Lodge finally succeeded in laying the foundations for modern loudspeakers in 1898. By using the laws of electromagnetism, he succeeded in generating sound through electricity. In the mid-1920s, the first electrodynamic loudspeaker was presented at the first radio exhibition in Berlin: This was around one meter long and housed a fixed magnet system and a moving conductor through which current flowed.
At the same time, Edward Kellog and Chester Rice developed the electrodynamic loudspeaker, which is still used in the majority of loudspeaker systems today: a movable voice coil is connected to a cone membrane and moves in time with the current flowing through it. In doing so, the coil repels the surrounding magnetic field. However, it was Albert Neville Thiele and Richard H. Small who succeeded in theoretically explaining the interactions between a loudspeaker and its housing from 1951 onwards. Their work laid the foundations for the fact that even very small loudspeakers are now capable of reproducing low frequencies.
By the way: You will of course also find horns speaker grilles and brackets in our range, which are ideal for building speakers and loudspeakers.
