bzzzt hifi
Designer | 2023 – present
The convenience of Sonos and the aesthetics of vintage hifi, now made just for you.
Key Features
01
An audiophile quality system that is meant to grow with you, not grow obsolete.
02
A completely parametric speaker enclosure allows for customization of tone and aesthetic.
03
The core aluminum frame provides a rigid cabinet while simplifying construction.
01
Growing with you
Unlike other loudspeakers, there is no tradeoff between convenience and personal taste. A passive speaker can be upgraded to a smart and/or active one by simply adding an internal amp and optional wireless connectivity.
In addition, standard metric hardware allows for easy removal and upgrade of the speaker components or changing the enclosure, like from pine to walnut or ceramic.
Replaceable panels
Standard metric hardware
Active or Passive options
02
Parametric and customizable
A fully parametric digital twin allows for the speaker to be tuned not just sonically, but also aesthetically prior to manufacturing. It also enables customization of dimensions without dramatically increasing complexity of fabrication.
03
Heart of metal
Each loudspeaker is constructed around a rigid aluminum frame, improving sound quality by dampening vibrations.
The mechanical construction method avoids permanently gluing any major parts, simplifying fabrication, assembly, and repair.
