D-TK10: $2,000 vibrating speakers from Onkyo

Posted on February 2, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

Conventional speakers have a woofer that does all the vibration work and the rest of it all has a job to just produce some music. Onkyo had an idea that what will happen if the entire speaker vibrated and not just the woofer. The idea came from the way a guitar produces music. Onkyo then teamed up with guitar maker Takamine and the team then researched for two years searching for the right combination of board thickness and internal bracing that would let the speaker walls resonate without mingling the whole sound produced. The result of the research is a rosewood and mahogany speakers dubbed D-TK10 that are handcrafted to produce awesome quality of sound. Since the entire speaker vibrates, the sound fills a wider space and creates a 3D effect for your ears. The company can only produce 50 such speakers so it would be better to order soon if you have $2,000 to spare for a vibrating speaker. Via: popsci

Step through the Vive’s 38,800-watt bass tunnel

Posted on January 31, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

Do you really want to know the real meaning of bass? If you think that the audio equipment you have inside your home or vehicle produce the ultimate bass, you might be mistaken. Well, UK-based Vibe has developed a bass tunnel that generates whopping 38,800W of bass and I think that is more than enough to move your heart beats like anything. Don’t even think of putting one inside your car and you know why. Offering 40 Space II 15′ woofers in a 6 meter-long wall with the blasting sound from 16 amps, the Stargate or the SG-1 is surely not meant for the heart patients. The concept is indeed blasting but we have no idea of this product going into mass production. Via: Softpedia

FH008 Sub Bass Woofer: A designer compliment for Ferguson Hill mini speaker system

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

The highly-regarded Ferguson Hill FH007 mini speaker system will get a designer companion very soon. The much awaited FH008 subwoofer from Ferguson Hill is on the way. The FH008 is a worthy compliment to the subwoofer-less mini system. Though not much is known about the specifications of the new subwoofer, as per reports it sports a front-firing design. In 2003 Ferguson Hill gave us the groundbreaking FHOO1, the world’s first ever front loaded horn dipole loudspeaker. Since then they have been creating bass systems and their newest project is the FH007 Mini Speaker System. The subwoofer is packaged in a very cute container and we should expect the bass machine to be equally tantalising as the package. The price is still not disclosed but an early April shipment is expected. Source.
