This page serves to provide frequently asked questions on what the project is about and what the design consist of. Below there are different topics with the questions underneath.
The team became interested in this project because there is a love for music amongst each member. Two of the members, Anna and Meghan, want to get jobs in the audio engineering industry and feel that this project will open their eyes to what they will expect to do in their future jobs.
This project will create a low cost loudspeaker stand that will improve the sound of a speaker. Many available loudspeaker stands can cost thousands of dollars while designing and building a quality loudspeaker stand does not need to cost nearly as much.
When building a speaker stand, you want to pick a rigid material to minimize vibrations. Both wood and steal and popular picks for speaker stands. To calculate the stiffness of materials, you can use Young's Modulus which is the ratio of stress to strain along an axis.
From doing research, it was found that the prices will range depending on the design of the speaker stand. For those speakers that are just single poles and are used for smaller speakers, they can range from $15.00 to $40.00, but those that are for larger speakers with specific designs can range from $90.00 to $800.00. This shows that depending on the design and size of the speaker will determine the price that it is sold at.
The sand that will be used inside of the metal rods will help to minimize the vibration from the speakers while they are played.

What is this project going to accomplish?
This project will create a low cost loudspeaker stand that will improve the sound of a speaker. Many available loudspeaker stands can cost thousands of dollars while designing and building a quality loudspeaker stand does not need to cost nearly as much.
What materials should you build a loudspeaker stand out of? Why?
When building a speaker stand, you want to pick a rigid material to minimize vibrations. Both wood and steal and popular picks for speaker stands. To calculate the stiffness of materials, you can use Young's Modulus which is the ratio of stress to strain along an axis.
What are the going rates of loudspeaker stands on the market?
From doing research, it was found that the prices will range depending on the design of the speaker stand. For those speakers that are just single poles and are used for smaller speakers, they can range from $15.00 to $40.00, but those that are for larger speakers with specific designs can range from $90.00 to $800.00. This shows that depending on the design and size of the speaker will determine the price that it is sold at.
What effects does sand have on vibrations?
The sand that will be used inside of the metal rods will help to minimize the vibration from the speakers while they are played.
