Lucinda marking the grille fabric

Meadowlark Audio's proprietary grille design has the significant advantage of being frame-free.

Hence, there are no surfaces to cause image smearing reflections and no edges to cause diffraction.  While grilles may be a necessary evil, our design is quite ideal.  In fact, our grille design is as close as you can get, sonically, to no grille at all.

Because of their unique design we must build our grilles in house. Here, Lucinda is seen cutting fabric according to a set of templates for the Kestrel.

Once the grilles are cut a special process is employed that encloses an elastic material inside a perimeter hem.

Later in the process the elastic material is properly tensioned and clamped.
The result is a shear grill that snaps into a tiny channel around the baffleboard.
