CAD Iterations

I did some quick modeling in Fushion 360 and Rhino, tried the vertical version to test posing the internal component and the horizontal version, and ultimately chose the horizontal version because it felt more powerful and more stable.

Final Direction

Stable on any surface

Engineered for stability on any surface, this speaker features 5 rubber handles and 4 nylon corners, offering 360° protection. Its powerful components are securely encased in an aluminum frame, ensuring both durability and consistent performance in any environment.

Pick it up in any position

The speaker's rubberized handle has been carefully designed for unparalleled ease of handling, so you can pick up the speaker in any position for easy portability and accessibility.

This compact speaker, measuring 500mm x 200mm x 200mm, packs a robust Hi-Fi punch with 1 subwoofer, 2 midrange drivers, 2 tweeters, and 3 passive radiators, delivering powerful, high-quality sound in a sleek, space-efficient design.
