THE BRAND: About Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Prior to Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary “zip-cord,” the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids & highs. Monster web ad.

THECNICAL SPECS To develop a functional headphones is necessary to know the technical concepts that make possible that we can listen to music from your device. We also have determined that material we will use, joints between parts and the sound insulation ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS / MATERIALS / CONNECTIVITY & CONTROLS / UNIONS

ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS Though one of the most common items in the audio chain, earphones or headphones may not always work properly. Common problems are distorted audio, low level with the volume at maximum, or high level with the volume at minimum. This bulletin will explain earphone/headphone specifications, which ones are important, and how to choose earphones for an audio system.

There are three important themes for select the best headphones:

Hz IMPEDANCE

SENSITIVITY

FREQUENCE

IMPEDANCE Impedance is opposition to the flow of current. The higher impedance, the less current will flow. Impedance is measured in Ohms, indicated by the Greek sign Omega (Ω). Earphones and headphones range from 8 Ohms to 600 Ohms or higher. The audio source (the headphone output) also has an impedance rating. To obtain maximum power transfer (all usable power from the source reaches the earphones) impedances should match. However, that’s rarely the case.

ALEX BOZA / MARC TORRES / PROJECTES II

When impedances don’t match, there is either a loss of voltage or of current, in other words, a loss of power. This power loss can be calculated with the following formula:

ALEX BOZA / MARC TORRES / PROJECTES II

Where - RS: Source impedance (the impedance of the audio systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headphone output)

OPTIMIZED

- RL: Load impedance (the impedance of the earphones or headphones) With 16 Ohm headphones:

SENSITIVITY Sensitivity is how effectively an earphone converts an electrical signal into an acoustical signal. Sensitivity indicates how loud the earphones will be for a given level from the source. ImageThis measurement is given in decibels of Sound Pressure Level per milliwatt, or dB SPL/mW. In some cases it

Subway 95dB

Restaurant 70dB

- dB

Whisper 30dB

ALEX BOZA / MARC TORRES / PROJECTES II

might be shown as dB/mW and is based on a 1 mW input signal. One mW is one thousandths of a Watt, or 0.001 Watts. The sensitivity of earphones is usually in the range of 80 to 125 dB SPL/mW.

ALEX BOZA / MARC TORRES / PROJECTES II

FREQUENCY When the frequency response is given as a graph, it indicates two different measurements. One, it shows the range of frequencies, lowest to highest, reproduced by the earphone.

Two, it shows the relative output level of the earphone at each frequency. Frequency response is measured in Hertz (Hz) and covers the audible range between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

MATERIALS Stainless Steel 270ยบ

ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

FOLDING SYSTEM

STRUCTURE

It is a styrene copolimerodel with good properties to the impact, due to the natural (butadiene) rubber. Excellent insulating and suitable for galvanized, chrome, paint... Applications: frameworks for small appliances, luggage, phones, chrome caps, pipes as a substitute for PVC, etc.

CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROLS

Mic

Left audio Right audio Ground

There are four connections, two for stereo speakers, the ground and another connector for the mic and controls. This type of connector, is compatible with the simple estereo connectors.

With three pushbuttons have control music and calls, using combinations of keystrokes you can change songs forward and back and answer the call for the built-in microphone.

UNIONS

With this folding implemented brand system beats, is the best system to keep your helmets inside your bag or backpack, for this reason, we use this folding system because it is efficient and highly resistant to wear and very hard.

Through a ball joint we got to perfectly adapt the headphone to the outside of the ear surface, since this allows us to swing in two axes, and this way we get the maximum comfort, because tola distribute pressure evenly.

FROM CONCEPT TO FORM To develop the form of our earphones, we wanted to find a line more modern and aggressive, breaking with the circular forms. Our intention is to find a balance between the polygonal shape and organic form in order to create a modern, urban design and the taste of the consumer. MOODBOARDS
