Perry Marshall is hosting the Chicago Audio Society on Sunday June 25th from 2-5pm. He will be demoing three Open Baffle (“Dipole”) speakers designs that he designed and built using Live Edge wood on three separate systems.

His “Live Edge Birch Dipoles” were featured on the January 2021 cover of AudioXpress magazine. 18” Eminence woofers, 8” Radian Coaxial midrange/tweeters, bi-amped with digital crossover. Constant directivity (this means frequency response is very controlled and highly consistent for excellent imaging everywhere in the room), linear phase and 97dB efficiency.

His “Flanagangster” is a hybrid dipole-reflex - 100HZ and up is Open Baffle with Constant Directivity and bass is reflex for the bass section, achieved with two 12” woofers and the classic Audax 34mm dome tweeter with waveguide. Bi-amped with digital crossover. See photos and description on the DIY Audio discussion forum:

Perry worked for three years as an acoustical engineer at Jensen in the 90s where he designed speakers for Honda, Mazda, Ford and Chrysler, as well as a motional feedback subwoofer. You can see some of his other designs at www.perrymarshall.com/speakers. He’s written numerous articles for AudioXpress and Voice Coil Magazine.
Hope to see all of you this Sunday.
