Join us for a special presentation by Wayne Parham, president of Pi Speakers, as he shares his expertise in loudspeaker design, room acoustics, and high-efficiency speaker systems. Wayne is widely known for his work in constant directivity waveguides and high-performance speaker designs, particularly for home and professional audio applications.

A unique aspect of Pi Speakers is its commitment to open-source-style development. All Pi loudspeakers are provided in a manner similar to open-source software: research, design documents, blueprints, test plans, and results are published and open for inspection. While some proprietary technologies are used, they are still discussed in sufficient detail for anyone to understand. This transparency fosters a collaborative approach to speaker design and allows enthusiasts to learn, modify, and build their own high-performance loudspeakers.

In this session, Wayne will explore the principles behind Pi Speakers’ designs, the role of directivity control and waveguides in achieving smooth off-axis response and room integration, as well as crossover design, driver selection, and cabinet configurations. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how to achieve accurate, dynamic, and immersive sound reproduction.
