A portfolio spanning 20+ years of audio product development — from in-wall control systems and architectural speakers to LAN-based streaming platforms and flat-screen era amplifiers. Each product was designed, developed, or managed by Jeff Myatt across his career at Russound, Boston Acoustics, and independent contract work.
Custom Wall-Mount Tablet System for Float Room Operations

A custom wall-mount tablet kiosk system designed and installed at True REST Float Spa in Keene, NH. The kiosk provides float room staff with a dedicated control interface for session management, room status monitoring, and customer check-in — replacing a generic consumer tablet setup with a purpose-built, professionally mounted solution. The enclosure is designed for clean integration with the spa's interior finish and allows the tablet to be secured at the correct ergonomic height for standing use at the front desk.
Float spa operations depend on precise session timing and room status visibility. This kiosk was developed as part of a broader operational systems upgrade at True REST Keene — one of several custom hardware and software solutions designed to improve efficiency and reduce the cognitive load on front-desk staff during busy session transitions.

Acoustic Treatment + Massage Chair Integration

Interior design and buildout of the relaxation room at True REST Float Spa, Keene NH. The space integrates acoustic treatment panels, ambient lighting, and a premium massage chair in a layout designed to extend the sensory deprivation experience before and after float sessions. The acoustic panels reduce ambient noise transmission from adjacent rooms, while the lighting system transitions from bright check-in levels to a warm, low-intensity environment as guests prepare for their float.
The relaxation room is a critical touchpoint in the float spa experience — it sets the tone for the session and provides a decompression space afterward. This buildout was designed to reinforce the spa's premium positioning and differentiate the True REST Keene location from competitors with a more intentional, designed environment.

Curved Track System with Snap-Fit Orange Connectors

A functional mechanical assembly developed using FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printing. The system features a curved track with integrated snap-fit connectors — the orange components are printed in a flexible TPU material that provides the spring force required for positive engagement and release. The track geometry was optimized for smooth travel and consistent alignment across multiple assembly cycles. This component was designed for a custom application requiring a low-volume, rapidly iterable mechanical solution that would have been cost-prohibitive to tool in injection molding.
FDM prototyping allows MYATT Enterprises to take a mechanical concept from CAD to functional test part in hours rather than weeks. This assembly demonstrates the capability to design for additive manufacturing — accounting for layer orientation, snap-fit tolerances, and material selection — rather than simply printing a design originally intended for injection molding.

Spring-Loaded Clip Mechanism, FDM Printed

A close-up study of a spring-loaded clip mechanism produced via FDM 3D printing. The component demonstrates the precision achievable with desktop additive manufacturing when design intent, material selection, and print parameters are optimized together. The clip geometry provides consistent spring force across repeated engagement cycles — a critical requirement for any retention mechanism. This level of functional detail in a 3D-printed part eliminates the need for off-the-shelf hardware in many custom assembly applications.
Spring-loaded retention features are among the most demanding functional requirements for 3D-printed parts — they require careful attention to wall thickness, layer orientation, and material flexibility. This component was developed as part of a broader mechanical assembly and represents the kind of detailed engineering work that separates functional prototyping from simple geometry printing.

Custom In-Ceiling Speaker Design for Specialty Installation Applications

A unique in-ceiling speaker designed for specialty custom installation applications. The speaker is installed in a finished ceiling panel and must deliver consistent audio quality across a range of demanding environmental conditions. The installation integrates with the vehicle's audio distribution system and is designed for serviceability in the field.
Audio in mobile environments presents challenges that don't exist in fixed installations: vibration, temperature cycling, humidity, and the need for secure mechanical retention that won't loosen over time. This installation was developed as part of MYATT's Mobility & Experience Platforms division work, where vehicle-based product testing and customer experience delivery require the same audio quality standards as a fixed commercial installation.

Architectural In-Ceiling Loudspeaker with Pivoting Tweeter
A high-performance in-ceiling loudspeaker designed for architectural audio installations. The driver assembly features a pivoting tweeter module that allows the high-frequency element to be aimed independently of the woofer — critical for installations where the listening position is offset from the speaker's center axis. The circular grille frame and mounting hardware are engineered for tool-assisted installation, consistent with the dog-leg clip system developed in the Russound patent portfolio.
In-ceiling speakers were the primary distribution speaker for whole-home audio systems in the early 2000s. This product was developed to address the performance gap between commodity in-ceiling products and true high-fidelity architectural speakers, bringing pivoting tweeter technology to the residential custom installation market.

Polished Aluminum Speaker Brackets and Articulating Mount Assemblies
A family of precision-machined mounting hardware designed for professional audio and AV installations. The polished aluminum bracket assemblies support both surface-mount and articulating configurations, with a ball-and-socket joint that allows full pan and tilt adjustment after installation. The back-box assembly integrates directly with the bracket system, providing a clean cable management path from wall to speaker. All components are designed for single-technician installation.
Mounting hardware is often the least visible but most critical component of a professional audio installation. These bracket systems were developed to give custom installers a premium hardware option that matched the quality of the speakers they were mounting — polished aluminum finish, precision tolerances, and a satisfying tactile feel that communicated quality to the end customer.

Weather-Resistant Architectural Outdoor Speaker
A compact outdoor speaker enclosure designed for architectural integration in residential and light commercial environments. The enclosure geometry is optimized for surface-mount installation on soffits, eaves, and exterior walls — with a low-profile form factor that minimizes visual intrusion. The driver aperture and grille frame are designed to shed water and resist UV degradation, meeting the performance and durability requirements of year-round outdoor use.
Outdoor speaker products require a fundamentally different design approach than indoor architectural speakers — the enclosure must function as both an acoustic chamber and a weatherproof housing. This product was developed to bring the same design discipline applied to indoor architectural speakers to the outdoor environment.

Wall-Mount Audio Controller with LAN-Based Music Streaming — Before Streaming Was a Thing
The ePAD was a wall-mounted audio control system developed as part of the custom product line at Boston Acoustics. What made it genuinely ahead of its time was the underlying architecture: the system streamed music over a local area network — LAN-based audio distribution — years before streaming became a mainstream concept. Users could browse and play their digital music library from any room in the house through a wall-mounted touchpad interface, with the network handling all audio transport. The companion docking station and OnRamp source selector completed the ecosystem, integrating analog and digital sources into the same distribution platform.
The ePAD was originally conceived and designed by Walter Raczynski of Control Alt Design — a gifted industrial designer and close friend and collaborator. Jeff Myatt served as the developer and product development manager responsible for bringing the design from concept through engineering, manufacturing coordination, and market launch within the Boston Acoustics custom product line. The LAN streaming architecture was a genuinely novel approach at the time: while the rest of the industry was still distributing audio over dedicated speaker wire, the ePAD was treating music as data on a network — a model that would define the entire streaming era that followed.

Flat-Screen Era Home Theater Processor and Power Amplifier
The LCA1870 was a combined audio processor and power amplifier developed for the emerging flat-screen television market of the early 2000s. As flat-panel displays began replacing CRT televisions, the audio performance of built-in TV speakers declined sharply — creating a market opportunity for a compact, high-performance audio companion product. The LCA1870 was designed to fill that gap: a slim, rack-compatible unit that could process and amplify multi-channel audio for a flat-screen home theater system.
The LCA1870 was designed by Walter Raczynski of Control Alt Design — a gifted industrial designer and a close friend and collaborator. Jeff Myatt served as the developer and product development manager at Boston Acoustics, responsible for translating market requirements into engineering specifications and driving the product through development to launch. The LCA1870 represents the kind of cross-functional partnership that produces great products: a designer with a strong visual and form language working alongside a product manager who understood both the technical requirements and the market opportunity.
