It doesn't matter what gadget you've got, where you're standing or where you're facing: the Icone Speaker can play tracks from a variety of different sources and deliver them 360° around for a brilliant audio experience throughout the room. Its nearly cylindrical form has triangular perforations all over the surface of its upper half, ensuring that your favorite beats will always be projected in your direction.
The collaboration between Kevin Depape and TRIANGLE also focused on seamless technology in terms of operation. You can connect wirelessly to the Icone Speaker with your smartphone, your tablet or your computer, enabling you to play DJ from a distance. A headphone jack was integrated for more intimate listening and additional controls are located within reach on the top of the device.
