About Musipple Isidlali Somculo

I-Musipple isidlali somculo esihlanganisa isiko lendabuko lamaSiniya nobuchwepheshe bezolwazi bamanje.

Ukuqala ukudlala, ingalo iyisulwa iyiswe maphakathi nemivikino yamanzi, kube sengathi imivikino yamanzi idalwe ngumlaleli ngokwakhe. Umzimba omkhulu wenziwe ngamapaneli epulasitiki anamandla amakhulu, ashaywe ngendlela ye-compression moulding, ahlanganiswa futhi aphathwe ngokwezingqondo phezulu. Uhlelo lwesipikha lusebenzisa ama-tweeter amabili, amayunithi we-midrange amabili, kanye ne-woofer eyodwa.

Production Technology: Select the speaker unit and crossover. High-strength plastic is selected as the main material of the box. According to the design drawings, the high-strength plastic is compression molded and assembled into various panels and connecting parts of the speaker, such as the front panel, back panel, side panels, top panel, bottom panel, and reinforced support. structure etc. Use screws and glue to connect and fix the various components together to ensure the stability and structural strength of the box. Internal padding and soundproofing. Carry out surface treatment, including sanding, painting, spraying, skinning, and other processes to increase the beauty and protection of the wooden box. Install the drive unit of the speaker (such as speaker unit, speaker unit, electronic components, etc.). Adjust the sound effects of the speakers, including frequency response, sound quality, volume, and other parameters to ensure that the performance of the speakers meets the design requirements.
Design Challenge: How to achieve the integration of eastern and western cultures and the integration of tradition and modernity is the difficulty of this project. We have gradually overcome the above problems through the design of modeling semantics, interaction methods, and other aspects.
Research: Musipple attempts to connect Eastern cultural intentions with Western product styling, while also making the product more traditional and modern. In terms of interaction, we have also made corresponding designs to make the speaker playback more natural.
Inspiration: Wei Yingwu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty in China, once wrote a poem. The meaning of the poem is that the trees near the water cause ripples when they touch the water, and the birds on the trees are singing. To turn poetry into a product, MUSIPPLE adopts the shape of a vinyl record player, which is also an attempt to integrate Eastern and Western cultures.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2023 in Beijing and finished in February 2024 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: The way to turn on Musipple is also very special. You need to move the pole to the center of the ripples as if the ripples are caused by you. The music is embodied at this moment. Ingeniously, this is consistent with the way vinyl records play music.
