A SPEAKER DESIGN WORKSHOP
see the sound, before you listen.
exceptional listening experiences are the sounds of engineered harmony. not only within the tracks, but more consequentially, between the components, the cabinets, the room and the layout. traditionally hobbyist speaker builders were creating without this foresight. Soundscape seeks to change that.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN
tune any parameter and the others respond to stay optimal
refine a cabinet’s proportions and see its internal volume, ports, driver placement, materials, and joinery respond. Lock what matters and let the parametric design keep up as you explore the rest.
freedom with boundaries
keep key dimensions locked while you explore the trade-offs. Place, resize, snap, and refine directly on the canvas.
room for the whole system
work with sealed and ported cabinets, multiple drivers, internal chambers, external horns, and crossover components.
intuitive and intelligent
place, resize, snap, and refine directly while the analysis and measurements respond in real-time.
PLAN PREDICTIVELY
see the sound before you hear it.
Explore the acoustic results of your choices while your speaker is still a design.
response prediction
explore the individual drivers, their filters, and the combined result. See the trade-offs while there’s still time to rethink.
✔
magnitude & phase
✔
crossover behavior
✔
box & port effects
driver interaction
driver spacing changes how sound combines. Explore interference and coverage to make more informed placement decisions.
✔
interference heatmaps
✔
listing position
✔
horizontal & vertical coverage
room reflections
place speakers and a listener in a virtual room to explore how geometry, early reflections, and bass modes could shape the listening experience.

Soundscape’s predictions depend on driver data and model assumptions. Real builds still benefit from measurement.
WASTE LESS, BUILD BETTER.
from vision to vice grips.
Soundscape tackles the tricky and often tedious work of building cut lists, sheet layouts, and build packets.
joinery, materials & layouts
Define material thickness panel by panel. Choose butt, rabbet, or miter joints per-seam. The geometry and parts list stays in-sync as you make changes.
butt
rabbet
miter
layouts respect grain orientation while aiming to leave the best off-cuts.
dimensioned drawings
drawings detail panel sizes, joinery, driver cutouts, port parameters, and assembly procedures.
optimal sheet layouts
grain orientation, saw kerf, common plywood dimensions, and joinery; nothing is left out of layout consideration.
a plan you can carry
parts lists and a printable PDF build packet that follows your design and follows you through the build.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS.
before you begin.
-
Start with sealed or ported cabinets, then add multiple drivers, internal chambers, additional cabinets, external horn assemblies, and crossovers. Adjust materials and joinery, explore predictions, and prepare parts lists and drawings.
-
Soundscape is a pre-build design tool. Its models help reveal trends and trade-offs; results depend on the quality of your driver data and the assumptions in each model. Imported response and impedance data can add detail. Predictions are guidance, not a guarantee of a finished speaker’s performance.
-
No installation or sign-in is required. Open Soundscape in your browser, start with an example or your own driver, and work directly on the canvas. A desktop or laptop gives the design workspace the most room.
-
Projects autosave in the browser on the device and domain where you create them. They are not synced to a cloud account. Download a project backup to keep a portable copy, share your work, or move to another browser.
-
Export a parts list and printable PDF build packet with dimensioned panel drawings, joinery information, cutouts, and sheet layouts. Always confirm your physical driver dimensions and review the drawings and machining allowances before cutting.
