Speakers are often crafted from wood and/or plastic, but the Cinder Speakers design takes a different approach with an aesthetic that makes use of building materials. Designed by Daniel Ballou and Dashdot, the Cinder Speakers take the simple design of a cinder block and transform it into a high-fidelity speaker.
The design of cinder blocks makes them quite heavy, but also enables them to not have such a high level of resonance capabilities like other speakers on the market do. This allows the Cinder Speakers design to deliver great sound when used.
The Cinder Speakers are available to purchase individually, and ship pre-assembled and pre-wired to make them capable of being used right away without extensive setup.
