A family of hi-fi loudspeakers — HF1, HF2, HF3 and CF1 — with solid-surface cabinets developed with TPI's workshop, standing on machined feet with integrated spikes.

My role

I did the design, engineering and 3D models for every model; the acoustic and crossover design was Ian Knight's.

  • Design, engineering and 3D models for every model in the range
  • The HF1 stand
  • Solid-surface cabinets developed with TPI's workshop
  • Machined feet with integrated spikes, developed with Thunder Engineering
  • The range dimension sheet and general-dimensions drawings

Outcome

Released and made to order. HF1, HF2 MK2 and HF3 each have a product page on TPI's website.
