Bring Your Own Soundboard

This speaker concept called Brooch has no built-in soundboard. You have to bring that to the party. With its specially design suction cup, attach it to any smooth, flat surface. Different surfaces have different tones to them. The idea is to experiment. All music controls are projected onto that same surface for simulated touchscreen goodness. What do you guys think? Win?

  1. In Brazil, Guarana Antarctica is selling something very similar, except for the projected screen, in a promotional campaign for 2 dollars. I’m curious to get one and see how it works.

  2. these came out about 5 years ago minus the screen and controls they were called “soundbugs” and failed horribly

  3. love the aesthetic, the way the matte surfaces catch light is perfect. Glad to see it’s not white, glossy, and organic like everything else out there. Looks intriguing with out being novel and cheap, but doesn’t scream for too much attention.

    I think the only thing that kills it is the shower-head coil that pulls out when you adjust the audio. Can the visuals just project from the metal piece as is without anything moving? (despite the steep projection angle). Do that and I think its perfect, imho.

  4. nimzy vibro max is like this minus the projector and suction cup it actually sounds quite good when you put it on a large table.

    This needs a power cable and im not too sure how well the suction cup would work
