Two products for Mastersounds: Clarity A, a home DJ audio system, which I redeveloped for efficient, cost-effective manufacture, and Clarity M, a modular PA I designed from start to finish to Mastersounds' brief.

My role

I was the only product designer on both products.

  • Clarity A: redesign and engineering development for manufacture
  • Clarity M: modules, stacking, handling and flying, with 12-inch or 15-inch subwoofers and 8-inch or 12-inch tops

Outcome

Clarity A and Clarity M are released and on sale; Clarity M production units were built by September 2024.
