INTRODUCTION
A. Attention getter: The cost of a high-fidelity loudspeaker today can go from $500 to
$1000. This is not the cost of a pair, just one stand-alone speaker. Instead of wasting so
much money, many people are starting to build their own speakers for a fraction of the
price. These are custom-built speakers are tailored specifically to the listener and offer
high performance for a reasonable price.
B: Thesis Statement: I am here to talk about do-it-yourself speakers and its impact on my
culture.
C. Preview: First, Ill talk about the history of Loudspeakers. Second, Ill talk about my
artifact, a loudspeaker. Third, Ill discuss my own experiences with do-it-yourself
speakers.
II. BODY
A: Ill begin with the history of loudspeakers, including the first concepts, its creation, its
uses in todays world.
1. Claim: In 1874, Ernst von Siemens, a German inventor, was
the first to describe the "dynamic" or moving-coil transducer.
a. Siemens made several contributions to the development of electrical
engineering and is therefore known as the founding father of the discipline
in Germany.
b. Although he did not use his device for audible transmission, he did
inspire other inventors, like Alexander G. Bell, with his moving-coil
transducer.
2. Claim: In 1876, Alexander G. Bell patented the telephone, which leads to
Siemens creation of the cone loudspeaker.
a. Siemens version of the loudspeaker was a more advance version of the
transducer in the telephone because it had a cone to move air.
b. This design was then used in phonograph players in the acoustic era.
3. Claim: Today, loudspeakers are used in many places where sound needs to be
re-produced.
a. They are used in places like your house, movie theaters, television,
concerts, sporting events, and automobiles.
III Conclusion
A. Review: First, I talked about the history of Loudspeakers. Second, I talked
about my artifact, a loudspeaker. Third, I discussed my own experiences with
do-it-yourself speakers.
B. Restate Thesis: Now you all have heard how do-it-yourself speakers have
impacted my life and how it is an important aspect of my culture.
C. Closing Statements: Building your own speakers may sound like a hard thing
to do. If you put in the time and effort, you will find that is easy, fun, and it
will also save you some money.
