These Speakers Use a Unique Method to Control Volume
Mishal Omar — June 22, 2016 — Art & Design
This interactive speaker design allows users to control the volume and simultaneously change the look of the speaker.
Rather than use traditional volume buttons or knobs, the designer of the 'Stack Speaker,' Rowan Jackman, decided to create a speaker that functions on weight. As more of the accompanying yellow weights are added to the volume section of this device, the louder the volume gets. When stacked all at once, the yellow weight plays music quite loud and even takes the shape of the traditional "volume" symbol. The speaker is made from laser-cut American White Ash and has a minimalist but functional design.
These interactive speakers are an excellent statement piece for any room and make the process of playing music more enjoyable.
