Mekasonic Loudspeaker History of creation

Mekasonic Loudspeaker -  Development of models When I started making mekasonic loudspeakers, my focus was for three standard sizes - 8, 10 & 12 inch.  Apart from PA type models with fixed edge paper cones, I also tried some cones with soft surround materials like cloth, foam and rubber. These soft edge cones in 8" and 10" size resulted in extended low frequency response, were good as woofer and low mid bass units.  As time passed on, appointed dealers selling mekasonic speakers were getting confidence in the product and feedback from customers were also encouraging. Other than three sizes mentioned above, customers were also asking for both smaller and larger speakers for different applications. It was also necessary to make some good tweeters and midrange speakers required for speaker systems. I found 6 inch cones both for woofer and general purpose applications and some tweeter cones in 3" and 4" from Siva Electronica which helped me to add new ranges in me...

Mekasonic Loudspeaker : On the ride My venture of making mekasonic Loudspeaker was started in a small rented 10' x 10' room on the roof of a three story building. As the activities were in progress, l felt a shortage of space and money. At this point, I was rescued by Mr. Amitananda Das (M.Tech from Calcutta University - Dept of Radio Physics & Electronics) a very good friend of mine, who came forward with some funds and also a better accommodation for my workshop in a portion of his house which was lying vacant. His kind gesture helped me to proceed comfortably. Moreover, with his high academic background he also helped me to solve many technical matters. I am also grateful to my friend Dr. Ajit Pal (Former Professor, IIT Kharagpur) who used to help me quite often for making equipment for loudspeaker testing. Products identified and developed. Shape, size, models, technical specifications, brand name and packaging finalised. Now, the most difficult part of the jo...

Initial developments of Mekasonic Loudspeaker In my previous post I wrote about how I started my venture of making  mekasonic loudspeaker. After the ball started rolling, the next focus was up gradation of product quality with better look and improvement of technical specifications. It involved a lot of experiments spending time and money to get results. Initially I started finding out the users -both individuals and commercial , who were looking for good quality speakers. That was through my friends, relatives and other contacts. It was hard to convince people that I have made a good quality Loudspeaker here which can be compared with branded products. I used to visit them with prior appointments and arrange for live demonstrations. One of my observations was that the individual users were interested only for high fidelity speakers - woofer and tweeter for using with their high power stereo amplifiers. Most of the amplifier and speaker systems were imported brands. I ...
