John E Woven Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 The latest episode of "How it's made" features headphones. They show how the K702 is made, but it'd be pretty much the same for most headphones. I uploaded just that part of the episode. It's available at http://buttsarenottoys.com/headphones.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Woven Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 oh, weird, thought it was the latest episode. Turns out it aired back in November. Whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephas Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for the YouTube link, Whale. It's always good to see more Team Animal Avatars around. The assembly process seems simple, broken down into the steps. I expected the mix of automation and hand-built, but I'm surprised by how few people are needed. With their neat tools, the tasks don't seem very difficult at all, I think even I (who's never even touched a soldering iron) could do the soldering of the wires!

Beefy Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm glad they showed us how the voice coil and diaphragm was done. Many times in HIM that would be an item that they just have 'show up' ready to go at some point on the production line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I might just be daft but does Varimotion just mean the diaphragm is thicker in the middle and thinner on the outsides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerius Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I might just be daft but does Varimotion just mean the diaphragm is thicker in the middle and thinner on the outsides? I think it's that along with where the voice coil attaches to the diaphragm. It voice coil is glued about halfway between the centre and outside of the diaphragm, and with the way it's shaped it looks like the centre part would move more than the edges.

mypasswordis Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 So if I understand correctly, it's a way of centering the force of the movement caused by the voice coil, instead of conventional designs which push the diaphragm at the edges? Which I guess means the diaphragm doesn't need to be as stiff anymore, and the edges don't need to be as thick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
