Working as a freelancer I was asked to design a compact soundbar utilizing Orbitsounds patented technology Airsound. The TVTR is a new product designed to recognize the changing needs of the home, the improvements in TV quality pictures and sound and the vastly varied programs available.

The product design had to be within the dimensional parameters demanded by the physics of sound reproduction as well as to be acceptable in the consumer's home. The visual appearance and design is smart but not obtrusive and accepts a small range of colorways. The ‘sub’ is an existing Orbitsound design and is a passive unit with a wired connection from the bar.
Design for manufacture
The brief was to produce a product that satisfies the crowded market but meets a low cost criteria. I produced working drawings for a prototype that would be handed off to the supplier including initial injection molding studies so that the plastic parts were 'tool ready'.
The aim was to allow the client to understand the total BOM cost, A 3D-printed enclosure was created for testing.
