IPad Pro 10.5" Speaker deflectors

thingiverse

I can say the improvement to the sound when a couple of these are fitted is nothing less than dramatic. Especially when viewing films or spoken presentations etc. The dialogue is very much more distinct, and the Stereo effect much improved and the higher frequencies are much more audible. Clearly Apple were limited by design constraints but having speakers facing out sideways, and not towards the viewer is a technical nonsense. Higher audio frequencies are very directional. The HF register is all but lost with side pointing speaker outlets. After fitting, you may need to reduce the treble equalisation as it can sometimes be over powering, but I like that. I prefer a bright clear sound. Two of these are needed for the iPad Pro 10.5 as speakers are at both ends. It is designed to fit either end without any alterations.
