Manufacturing & Validation

Audio manufacturing and validation in our own factories.

With R&D in Taiwan and factories in China and Indonesia, we take your product from engineering samples to volume production.

Overview

Issues are traced and resolved within one organisation.

Many of the parts that decide how a product sounds and feels, including drivers, cabinets and circuit boards, are produced in Jazz Hipster's own factories. Issues can be traced and resolved within one organisation, and engineering changes reach the line faster.

Engineering stays involved from the pilot build onward, so process questions are answered by the people who designed the product.

Traceable Batch records and part scanning

What We Do

Five production areas in one manufacturing system.

Each area is set up for audio products and coordinated with engineering, so process changes and test limits follow the approved design.

  1. Automatic adhesive dispensing on a driver

    Driver production

    Automated driver lines with controlled glue dispensing for spider and cone joints, where adhesive placement and curing directly affect sound and consistency.

    Key elements
    • LinesAutomated 3-8 inch driver lines
    • DispensingScrew-valve · Vision-guided · Heated epoxy
    • QCKlippel testing
  2. Adhesive bead dispensed on a molded speaker enclosure in its fixture

    Enclosure molding and finishing

    Injection molding with painting, printing and ultrasonic welding, so molded enclosures and their finishes come from one production team.

    Key elements
    • ProcessesInjection molding · Painting · Silk-screen printing · Ultrasonic welding
    • ChecksColour measurement
  3. Finished wood bookshelf speakers on an inspection line

    Wood cabinets

    MDF and plywood cabinets machined on high-speed CNC and finished in our own paint shop, in veneer, vinyl, piano and painted finishes.

    Key elements
    • MaterialsMDF · Plywood
    • ProcessesHigh-speed CNC · Paint shop · Cabinet assembly
  4. Operator reviewing automated optical inspection results on the SMT line

    SMT and PCBA

    Circuit boards built with SMT and wave soldering, with 3D solder-paste inspection on SMT boards and further in-process inspection before boards reach assembly.

    Key elements
    • AssemblySMT · Wave soldering
    • Inspection3D SPI · AOI · ICT · X-ray
  5. Automatic screw fastening station

    Assembly and product test

    Final assembly with automatic screw fastening and product-specific fixtures, followed by functional and acoustic tests at stations configured for each model.

    Key elements
    • AssemblyDual-station screw fastening · Product fixtures
    • TestATE function test · Audio Precision APx · CLIO isolation boxes
    • TraceabilityQR part scanning · Batch records

How We Work

From pilot build to steady production.

  1. Line preparation

    Process flow, fixtures, test cases and stations prepared from the approved design.

  2. Pilot build

    PVT units built on the production line, with process and test issues resolved.

  3. Sample verification

    Sample lots verified and firmware versions validated; shipment is held if an anomaly appears.

  4. Mass production

    Volume production with in-process checks, batch records and packing.
Dimensional inspection station with optical scanner
Reliability and Compliance

Products validated before and during mass production.

Reliability and safety checks are planned alongside the build stages. Design samples go through environmental and mechanical stress testing, incoming materials are checked for hazardous substances, and production lots are verified before shipment.

  • EnvironmentalTemperature and humidity, UV and salt-spray testing.
  • MechanicalVibration and drop testing.
  • MaterialsHazardous-substance checks on incoming parts.
  • Appearance3D scanning and colour measurement.
  • Acoustic QCKlippel and audio analyser checks on production units.
