Room-Sized Studio Light Speakers Combo -- Episode 431

Clem likes to hear Podcasts and Music while working on element14presents videos but he’s not keen on using headphones and does not want to pump the volume to max to hear his speakers across the room. So he turns the ceiling of his workshop into a giant speaker, by building Studio panels. These Panels also reduce room noise for better audio recordings and by adding small LED lights act as soft light boxes for filming. Dragging around big lights with softboxes is not needed anymore for a lot of shots and the right background music helps keep the groove. All in the name of better, faster project videos! Praise the everlasting Din5_180 Connector for its versatility!

Very cool. Ingenious that the same material I would use to dampen sound you are using as the cone to make sound.
Thanks also for addressing the flicker. I would have probably just put a large electrolytic on it and been unhappy with the result.

thank you, I learned that the behavoiur in case of sound can be utilized in both ways, if you'd build a membrane to make a cartain frwquency, that membran would also absorb that same frequency(for the most part)
Most cone speakers can also be used as microphones, Imay try to utilize the panels as microphones in a follow up segment on a future video.
