    How did you like your summer internship? Or was it a summer job?

    I enjoyed it, it was pretty interesting working on $100k speakers, seeing what goes into them. So much material, time, and money go into making each pair.

    Also using a giant ceiling mounted suction cup to lift and move speakers that cost 100k was pretty cool.

    Yeah it’s impressive how they make those speakers. From machining the drivers from aluminum to the massive ceiling crane.

    What are you studying in college?

    Mechanical engineering with an acoustics concentration. So some day I would want to be an engineer at a company like this, or maybe a bit less pricy speakers. This summer I mostly just did assembly.
    I think one of the coolest things is the machined aluminum tweeter dome. It's a silk dome with a very precise machined aluminum skeleton supporting it.

    Congrats! Are your classes this fall all remote or will some be in-person?

    Looks like most are remote but some are in person. Kinda need to use the labs and stuff, especially for doing my senior capstone project (doing something of my choice)

    Does mechanical engineering include machine-shop work? i really wish I'd done that.

    Somewhat, but not a ton
