BoPET

BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, chemical stability, dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity when metallized, gas and moisture barrier properties, and electrical insulation.

David Theodore Nelson Williamson

(David) Theodore Nelson Williamson (also known as D. T.N. Williamson; 15 February 1923 – 10 May 1992) was a Scottish electronics engineer, most notable for a design of early high fidelity valve amplifier known as the Williamson amplifier, that originally featured "OSRAM" brand valves (such as KT66 "Kinkless" Tetrode and L63 triode) made by the M.

Edward W. Kellogg

Edward Washburn Kellogg (February 20, 1883 – May 29, 1960) was an American inventor who invented the moving coil loudspeaker in 1925 along with Chester W. Rice at General Electric.

Electrostatic loudspeaker

An electrostatic loudspeaker (ESL) is a loudspeaker design in which sound is generated by the force exerted on a membrane suspended in an electrostatic field. Quad Electrostatic Loudspeaker and electrostatic loudspeaker are loudspeakers.

LS3/5A

The LS3/5A (each element pronounced separately, without the stroke) is a small studio monitor loudspeaker originated by the BBC for use by outside broadcast vans to ensure quality of their broadcasts. Quad Electrostatic Loudspeaker and LS3/5A are loudspeakers.

Studio monitor

Studio monitors are loudspeakers in speaker enclosures specifically designed for professional audio production applications, such as recording studios, filmmaking, television studios, radio studios and project or home studios, where accurate audio reproduction is crucial. Quad Electrostatic Loudspeaker and studio monitor are loudspeakers.
