Material list took an hour to type. Microphones (mic) Depending upon the type of microphone, raw materials may vary. Permanent magnets are generally made from a neodymium iron boron compound. The voice coil and cable are made from copper wire. Speakers______________________________________________________________________________ Aluminum-coated polypropylene Polypropylene coated with a thin layer of aluminum. The combination creates a stiff, lightweight material used in woofer cones. Aramid A synthetic fiber with excellent strength-to-weight properties. It can be woven into a fabric, or blended into polypropylene to produce lightweight, weather-resistant woofer cones that have the natural sound characteristics found in high-quality paper cones. Butyl rubber A rubber/butylene compound with excellent flexibility and durability. Used for speaker surrounds. Cast aluminum Cast metals have a greater resistance to resonance than stamped metals when used in speaker baskets. Cast aluminum combines light weight with rigidity and strength. C.M.M.D. (Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm) First developed by Infinity for their home speakers, C.M.M.D. is a layered composite of thin ceramics and metal. This material is non-resonant, stiff and quite strong. It is notable for producing uncolored sound with excellent dispersion. C.M.M.D. is used for woofers, midranges and tweeters. Ferrofluids Ferrofluids dissipate heat that builds up in speaker voice coils. Since ferrofluids are magnetic, they don't require physical containment - the speaker's magnetic field holds the fluid in place. Foamed IMPP When polypropylene is injected as a foam into a speaker mold, the resulting material retains air bubbles that make it lighter without giving up strength. Glass-imide A blend of glass fibers and plastics with excellent heat resistance. Used in constructing voice coil formers. Graphite-injected polypropylene A composite material of polypropylene and graphite that is stiffer and stronger than regular polypropylene film. HCL HCL (HoneyComb-Laminate) is a laminate that combines layers of woven glass fiber with an inner core of Nomex honeycomb. The result is a very strong material, excellent for speakers that need to handle high power. H.O.P. (Highly Oriented Polyolefine) The molecules in Highly Oriented Polyolefine are arranged in linear strands, giving this material more inherent strength and rigidity than most other polymer films. H.O.P. is used by Sony for woofer cones. IMPP consists of polypropylene that is injected into a mold when forming the speaker cone. The speaker cone retains more stiffness, and is less colored by resonation, than cast polypropylene cones. IMPP composite To increase the strength and stiffness of IMPP, other materials are added to form IMPP composites. These materials are usually minerals like mica or carbon. Injection-molded polypropylene See IMPP. Kaladex/Kaladax A polyethylene film that features excellent stiffness, shape retention, and durability. Tweeters made with this material produce natural, uncolored highs. Kapton voice coil Kapton is a polymer that is often used in applications where high-temperature capabilities are important. It's well-suited for use in voice coil formers. Kevlar® Kevlar is the trademarked name of a synthetic fiber developed by DuPont as a substitute for steel in tires. Also used in body armor, Kevlar, blended with other polymers, is used in speaker cones for its light weight, strength, and rigidity. Laminated polyester This is a multi-layered material made of polyester fibers. This soft material has a natural, warm sound, much like silk. Mylar Mylar, developed in the 1950s, is one of the granddaddies of polyester films. Mylar is usually used in small speakers such as tweeters or midranges. It's unaffected by humidity and is fairly inexpensive. Also known as PET. Neodymium magnet Neodymium is one of several rare earth metals used in creating small, high-strength magnets. Neodymium magnets are usually used in tweeters. Neoglass A woven glass-fiber material. Neoglass is used in tweeters that need high power-handling capabilities. PBO fiber PBO (polybenzoxazole) is a polymer that can be extruded into fibers and woven into a tough material. This fiber is used to build woofer cones. Pearl polycarbonate Polycarbonates are blends of polyester films and carbon. Pearl polycarbon is a very lightweight yet rigid material that works well in tweeters. Pearl refers to the bead-like microscopic structure of the polymer. Pearl mica Micas are a group of minerals composed of various amounts of aluminum, potassium, and other metals. Pearl mica has a distinct lustrous, pearl-like color. When injected into polypropylene, it yields a material that is dense yet sensitive - ideal for woofer cones. PEI PET A generic name for Mylar. Polyethylene A polymer film material used in tweeters. Very similar in performance to Mylar. Poly Polycarbonate A blend of polyester films and carbon resulting in a hard, non-resonant material used mainly in bright-sounding tweeters, and occasionally in constructing the speaker basket. Polycarbonates can be produced in a variety of colors, including transparent, for a distinctive look. Polyester foam Foam material with polyester fibers blended for extra strength and durability. Polyester foam is used for speaker surrounds. Polyethermide Polyetherimide Polyetherimide, also known as PEI, Polyethermide, or Polyimide, is a very common polymer used for a variety of products. Its lightweight, shape-retaining properties, and high-temperature handling make it a good, reasonably-priced option for tweeter material. Polyimide Polymer/mica A polymer film, such as polypropylene, made stronger by the addition of the mineral mica. Polypropylene A very popular material for car speakers, polypropylene is fairly rigid, with good internal damping, and complete weather-resistance. PPC PPTA A polymer film that is chemically the same as "Aramid," but produced as a film, rather than as a fiber. It has the same excellent strength-to-weight characteristics as Aramid, and is usually used in tweeters and midranges. Pulp Pulp (paper) woofers are inexpensive, and when properly engineered can provide great sound. Rubber Rubber is one of the most common materials used for speaker surrounds. It gives the woofer the flexibility and strength it needs for extended use in the potentially extreme environmental conditions of your car. Silk Silk is often used in tweeters for smoother reproduction of the high frequencies, giving you a sound that's warm, mellow, and refined. Silk tweeters designed for high power handling are often reinforced with synthetic materials that add extra stiffness for improved damping, so they can pump out the volume while still keeping things smooth and maintaining accuracy. Santoprene Often used for speaker surrounds, Santoprene is a rubber and thermoplastic meld that is highly durable. Textile As opposed to metals or synthetics, textiles are used in tweeters for a smoother, mellower sound. Titanium Used in tweeters, titanium is extremely light and less resonant than aluminum, allowing it to reproduce high frequencies with extreme accuracy, but without the harsh edge that some audio enthusiasts attribute to aluminum tweeters. Treated cloth Many manufacturers use cloth in tweeters and speaker surrounds for its responsiveness. That cloth is treated with additional materials that reinforce it for durability. Woven fiberglass Many woofer cones use this blend of plastic and glass fibers for its accuracy in the midrange and resistance to wear and tear. Its woven pattern increases flexibility and enhances responsiveness.

These species are so fucking rad!!!!! Also I have perfect pitch as well! It’s cool to see others that have it! Fun fact for those who don’t know what that is, it basically describes an ability that some people have that allows them to know what notes sound like just from in their head. This entails being able to always be in the right key of a song without actively listening to it!

[@gothsinn23]

A bit sad that my girl Dissonance didn't make the cut as an example, but ecstatic nonetheless to see others being showcased and the species itself getting the spotlight!

Each and every Ampwave is a true work of art and I hope this video will bring even more love to them!

[@ijustventhere6460]

I’d love one but having a species someone’s created seems difficult. Like you have to do so much. Create a design that fits into the guidelines of the species, there’s so much customization you can do too so it’s overwhelming. You have to keep telling people that it’s not a species you made and if you make a dog with speakers in it everyone attacks you even if all you did was add a speaker in the stomach. It’s exhausting in my opinion. But kudos to anyone who has made their own species/owns an open or closed species

you don't see many of the mechanised fursonas because they're more closed off/restricted than everything else, like last time I looked, there were a bunch of rules and restrictions regarding protogens, and then there's the fact that primigens (probably not spelt correctly) are closed off completely, like, who tf thinks, "i know what i'll do! i'll make a closed off original species so I can be unique and special and i'll only let others be the same if they pay for it!" if that isn't the deffinition of scumbaggery then idk what is :/ still, regardless of the mini-rant, great vid stormi! ^.^
