As a product designer, it's essential to go beyond just the visual form of a speaker. We must also consider the materials used, color coordination, internal components, circuit design, and how all elements work together harmoniously. When designing a speaker, there are five key "no's" that should be avoided:
1. **Ignoring acoustic principles in cabinet design**: Speaker cabinets are not just decorative; they play a crucial role in sound quality. Especially for bass cabinets, the size, shape, and internal structure must align with the driver’s specifications. For example, if the cabinet is designed as a horn, the internal airflow space must be precisely calculated. Failing to consider these factors can lead to poor sound performance.
2. **Neglecting industrial design principles**: A great design needs to be practical, manufacturable, and marketable. If a design is too complex or costly to produce, it will never reach consumers. Even if it can be made, if the cost is too high, it won't sell. The best speaker designs balance creativity with commercial viability.
3. **Lack of clear composition in drawings**: Before production, a speaker is defined by its drawings. These need to show the product from multiple angles, with accurate dimensions and detailed features. Color choices, background contrast, and visual hierarchy also matter. Without clear visuals, even the best ideas may be misunderstood or overlooked.
4. **Weak originality and heavy imitation**: Copying existing designs without adding unique value can make a product unattractive. However, referencing others isn’t the same as imitating. It’s about understanding and reinterpreting, rather than copying directly. Finding the right balance is a skill every designer should master.
5. **Inadequate overall planning**: A speaker is more than just its parts—it’s a system. Designers must think about wiring, mounting brackets, placement in different environments, and user experience. Whether it's a compact 2.0 system for a desktop or a large home theater setup, each design must account for the final use case. This ensures the product is functional, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing.
