Pop-up Cafe Speaker
Jon Pritchard · Thursday, Oct 10, 2013 · 1 minute read

Another commission from Aroma Cafe. This time some battery powered audio for their pop-up cafe they run. Using the same 3w amplifier and AA battery combination used in the smaller Mini-Rustics but this time with larger more powerful drivers feeding a folded horn, its essentially one half of the Origin horn speaker I made a few years ago, so the sound is similar, only a bit more directional and maybe not quite as loud having only half the horn and a quarter of the wattage. I used birch plywood and sapele for this, the birch ply is great for bending and generally a great material to make horns out of, and the sapele contrasts nicely with it.

About Me

Since 2008 I’ve been working on various handmade speaker designs, from monstrous surround sound setups, to mixing monitors, to battery powered portables and as many in between as I could think of.

With a Masters Degree in Product Design Engineering from the Glasgow School of Art and The University of Glasgow, I had a good foundation in design and engineering. Along the way I built up my woodworking skills, moving back home to Dorset and learning traditional woodworking skills at The Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.

My aim is to bring the pasts high quality hand joinery to present day items. The art is not lost quite yet and I believe there is still a place for hand made objects made to be used and made to last. Now more than ever with sustainability becoming more important.
