An investigation into how shapes
can be used to accentuate sound, culminating
in a compact, portable speaker.
Starting with an idea that would be easy to carry, pictured far left, I started looking at how the product would be used.
Briefly looking at using multiple speaker drivers, I settled on using
the product itself to divert the sound output of a single speaker, to
avoid over-complication and for costing reasons.
Initially thinking that the speaker would be pointed up, I found that pointing down would work better, as the surface the product was sitting on would help distribute the sound more easily. A small enclosure for the speaker driver and PCB board plus a handle for carrying would complete the product.
I also looked at protection methods of the speaker driver when it wasn't in use, first thinking of a mesh, or with a physical cover. The cover would provide more security, especially if the point of this product is that it would be carried around a lot.
Although cramped, all the necessary modules fit in, specifically:
Speaker Driver Amp PCB
Bluetooth Receiver
12V-5V Step Down PCB
12V Lithium Ion Battery

The main body contains all the attachment points, and is the most complicated section, meaning that the other components can be made
quickly and easily.
