DIY speaker: Home-made kit offers sound approach

02 : 01 : 2014 Maker Culture : Hacking : Sound

France – French designer Coralie Gourgeuchon has created a paper electronics kit enabling users to make their own speaker.

A paper template, radio antennae, switches and conductive glue and ink enable users to easily construct the musical kit. To amplify sound, a cone is simply curled in the centre of the speaker. When laid out flat, the speaker is switched off.
