About

In the last episode of Season 2, the Three Sad Bastards Podcast posed the question: "How hard could it be to design and build a good active loudspeaker system"?  The answer is 3SB Audio :)

3SB Audio was formed in 2021 to design and develop a high performance, full range loudspeaker system based on active DSP and amplification principles. A core design principle was utilising pro-audio techniques and components over traditional methods.

Whilst in the middle of COVID, and with some time available due to a change of jobs, one of the Sad Bastards started to work on the design, culminating in showing the prototype system at the 2022 Melbourne StereoNET show.

Feedback was generally positive, and encouraging, so the project has continued to evolve based on group listening sessions, modelling and measurements.

Developed as a prototype system, the 3SB Loudspeaker system is currently in the finalisation and completion phase, and is expected to be completed by the end of the year 2024.

We hope you enjoy reading about the 3SB Loudspeaker system!
