Most people are not aware of the variety of sounds that a lift can produce. Piezo transducers, electromagnetic and binaural microphones have been used to record the lift's soundscape. The sounds are than amplified and played back through a pair of speaker drivers that are placed inside the lift in order to enhance its sonic space.
The position of the speaker drivers was carefully chosen as to make the sound fill up the space in an effective way.The sounds have been adjusted in regards to each speaker cone frequency response.
Speakers without enclosures are used mainly because they aesthetically merge with the elevator's space.
We chose the lift because this small enclosed space has an interesting acoustic and soundscape that can be intensified by the amplification of its own sonic space.
