Speaker-building projects
Audiopoli has been building speakers together with its members for over twenty years: speaker-building projects have been a cornerstone of the association's activity, and hundreds of speakers have been built. In our speaker-building projects, members build the same speaker with guidance: Audiopoli acquires the drivers, the timber, the tools and the workshop space, and experienced builders advise in the workshops.
The association's own one-off special projects, such as Kinopoli's speakers, can be found on the Audiopoli R&D page.
