The
inflatable loudspeaker is exactly what the name says - a new innovation
in loudspeaker design, an inflatable loudspeaker. The inflatable loudspeaker
can be packaged in a fraction of its working size and then inflated
to form a fully enclosed loudspeaker. This original approach to loudspeaker design allows the production of very low cost, lightweight loudspeakers with an original look and sound. The speaker consists of a transducer and a flexible membrane that inflates to form the enclosure, giving the product many special properties that open up a whole range of products. |

Advantages |
|
 |
Lightweight - a 36 inch inflatable loudspeaker filled with balloon gas (helium/air mixture) weighs less than air (it floats!) |
|
Small and easy to transport - folded up, the inflatable loudspeaker will fit in a pocket |
|
Inexpensive - having just a few components and being capable of simple manufacture, the inflatable loudspeaker could be produced very inexpensively |
|
Novel - The original appearance adds a whole new range of options to the traditional loudspeaker market. The surface of the loudspeaker can be printed with colours, designs or even full colour pictures and the unusual shape provides an eye catching display |
|
Low power - it is possible to achieve a reasonable sound level using an ordinary personal stereo |
|
Low magnetism - As there are no strong magnetic fields produced by the inflatable loudspeaker, it is an ideal companion to computing products. Our prototypes contain no magnetic materials. |
|
Some potential markets |
|
|
Novelties - it adds a whole new dimension to the traditional balloon market, sound! There's a tune to go with every occasion |
|
Toys - Ideal for combination with children's audio equipment, it's easily decorated with the latest popular themes and cheap enough to be replaced to match the latest trends. Imagine, a loudspeaker for the children's room that is decorated with the latest pop group or media personality |
|
Promotion - a completely new way for a company to promote itself or advertise a new product, with sight and with sound |
|
Travel/camping - being lightweight, small, low power and waterproof, it's ideal to take along on holiday, camping, or to the beach |
|
The possibilities are (almost) endless - we welcome your ideas. |
