Experience sound with all your senses - 100 years of loud-speakers

What happens inside a loudspeaker when music plays?
How does electricity turn into motion, and how does motion turn into sound? The KLIPPEL Foundation invites you to embark on an interactive journey of discovery about sound, technology, and music. Through hands-on experiments, you will explore the basic principles behind loudspeakers, from electrical signals to acoustic waves.

Description

The KLIPPEL Foundation presents experiments that are youth-friendly, and that you can hear, see, and feel. These interactive stations are part of the school project "100 Years of Loudspeakers — Sound, Music & Technology," developed in collaboration with Lab School of Ohm e.V., DLR_School_Lab at TU Dresden, and Technical Collections of Dresden.

Additional experiments can be explored during the three-day holiday workshop “From Tone to Sound – Discover the World of Acoustics!”, organized by the DLR_School_Lab at TU Dresden and the Klippel Foundation. The workshop will take place from July 14–16, 2026, at the Dresden Technical Collections.

Can you hear the difference? - The Sound Test

Did you know your ears can detect sound coloration at just ±0.5 dB? When sound becomes less accurate, even a deviation of ±2 dB can feel unpleasant and disturbing. In our interactive listening test, you can train your ears and find out if you can detect subtle distortions and sound coloration. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to test and improve their hearing.

Acoustic Labs at the Chair of Acoustic and Haptic Engineering – Book Ticket

In the laboratory of the Chair of Acoustics and Haptics at TU Dresden, visitors can experience the contrasts between a sound-absorbing room and a reverberation room with its sound-reflecting walls. You'll also hear the sound of a next-generation audio system with about 500 speakers.
