The tetrahedron-shaped MAKE01 housing contains three powerful bending wave transducers for high and mid-range frequencies and two subwoofers for the bass range. The advantage of this patented technology is that sound is not unnaturally directed – as with conventional loudspeakers – but emitted from all three surfaces of the tetrahedron, thus creating entirely natural, homogeneous 360° audio.

Two additionally integrated long excursion subwoofer chassis with aluminum membranes and a bass reflex tube complete the full-volume sound spectrum of MAKE01 in the bass range. All three surfaces can be individually controlled. Depending on your preferences and where it is situated, the unit can be used for the innovative tetra-sound as well as stereo or mono.

MAKE01 is absolutely simple to operate: Insert your iPod into the easily accessible dock or connect your MP3 player via the audio connector – your music is now playing away. Do you want to hear a specific song? Nothing could be simpler. The intuitive remote control lets you select the song or interpreter of your choice. For demanding applications, MAKE01 also has cinch and XLR inputs for processing signals from professional equipment, thus enabling connections with stereo equipment, CD players or tuners etc.

* Digression: The bending wave transducer

The operating principle behind the bending wave transducer is relatively simple, resembling the ripple effect that occurs when a stone is thrown onto a calm body of water. The bending wave transducer works just like this principle of concentric waves. The sides of the MAKE01 tetrahedron are brought out of their resting position by a vibration stimulator. The bending wave then extends evenly to all sides on the excited surface. The resulting changes in air pressure are perceived as sound. In contrast to other solutions, the rigid range of this bending wave in the MAKE01 loudspeaker is both directed onto the membrane as well as attenuated in a controlled manner over the entire frequency range. The result is music reproduction of exceptional clarity and dynamics.
