Epicenter Engineering

Company Overview

Since 1991, we have been dedicated to developing innovative and unique transducers for the audio industry. With years of experience in product design and development, we are now proud to offer our expertise as a consultant to provide state-of-the-art services and expertise in the field of transducer design. Our combination of extensive product design and development experience with powerful engineering tools enables us to provide rapid, cost-effective, and high-quality design and manufacturing solutions.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide world-class transducer design, analysis, and measurement services for the audio community. As a senior design engineer with years of experience in a leading audio corporation, we have a thorough understanding of the importance of production and procurement in the design process. We are committed to providing expertise and solutions that improve the performance and minimize the cost, both of raw materials and labor content.

Company Profile

As a senior design engineer with years of experience in a leading audio corporation, we have a deep understanding of the intricacies of transducer design and development. Our extensive design experience has been closely tied to manufacturing environments, both in-house and in the Far East. This sensitivity to production and procurement issues is a key aspect of our designs. In addition, we have made significant advances in transducer design methodology, enabling better designs for less cost in shorter lead times. We also leverage advanced computer-aided-engineering tools, such as 3-D solid modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) to improve the quality of our designs and reduce the time from concept to production.

Services

Our comprehensive transducer design experience and capabilities include:

• Mechanical, electromagnetic, heat transfer, fluid flow, and acoustic prediction, measurement, analysis, and synthesis
• Finite element analysis (FEA), boundary element analysis (BEA), and custom lumped parameter modeling tools
• CAD solutions using AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, or SolidWorks
• Solid modeling experience for rapid prototyping and fastest overall time-to-market
• Rapid prototyping expertise, including coil winding, vacuum and heat forming, stereolithography, and metal work
• Technical documentation, including bills of materials, fully detailed 2-D drawings with custom borders, electronic CAD data, and renderings

Product Design and Development

We offer comprehensive transducer design experience and capabilities, including mechanical, electromagnetic, heat transfer, fluid flow, and acoustic prediction, measurement, analysis, and synthesis. This includes finite element analysis (FEA), boundary element analysis (BEA), and custom lumped parameter modeling tools, as well as commercial loudspeaker specific tools such as LEAP, XOPT, MLSSA, and others.

R&D and Manufacturing Solutions

We provide product and process design for various assembly environments (manual through fully automated) to minimize cost and maximize quality and output. We also offer innovative solutions to complex engineering problems, including low resonance/high power handling tweeters, ultra-high output port tubes, high excursion to surface area suspension geometry, system level transducer parameter optimization, and more.
