Cabin speakers for commercial aircrafts
Problems
Heavy electrodynamic speakers
Each item on board an aircraft contributes to increased weight, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Electrodynamic speakers incorporate coils and magnets, which contribute to their weight, usually ranging between 2 to 5 pounds. It’s estimated that carrying one additional pound in an aircraft cabin incurs approximately $30 per year in fuel costs. Large commercial airplanes may incorporate up to approximately 350 speakers. Consequently, over its typical 30-year lifespan, an aircraft’s sound system can cost the airline hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional fuel expenses.
