Final Hero shot of the Pearl DSP which I developed in collaboration with JH Audio and Allen&Heath. Modeled in Fusion 360 and rendered in Keyshot.
Clay model of the Pearl DSP before applying colors, materials, and finishes in Keyshot.
Early stages of development involved PCB design and layout. I managed the design, R&D, and prototyping phases where we experimented with these different layouts and cases.
Version one of the Pearl DSP unit shown with 3D printed housing which was made in-house using a 3D Systems Projet HD6000. This case was simply used to test fit the board and its major components.
Noting depth here, realizing we would need to both shave height and brainstorm a way to connect the device to the IEM packs.
During the prototyping and PCB layout phase components were being moved around quite a bit, this image shows where an LED should be, changes were made and the case was adjusted.
Beauty shots for social media teasers showing the first functional Pearl prototype.
This is the first machined aluminum prototype case recieved from our supplier in South Korea. I worked with numerours suppliers before deciding to move forward with this sample. CNC cut and anodized matte black with a belt clip installed for stage use.
This image shows the final product ready to ship out to excited customers.
The Pearl DSP unit in use, linked directly to a Wisycom IEM pack.
We had quite a few bands beta test the Pearl before its release. This image shows early prototypes live on tour with Motley Crue.
I also had a hand in designing and developing the UX/UI/GUI, these are some early stage screenshots of the app in use.
More app development showing the ability to modify and shape indiviual sound curves to the users liking. These would then be flashed straight to the device/earpieces.
