Lähde | loudspeaker (2023)
EN / JP
The experience of audio used to be strongly connected to visuals and fashion. Vinyl records with their beautiful covers felt like pieces of art. The movement of the turntable was a visual link to the source of the sound.
Lähde is a cast-concrete loudspeaker which plays tribute to the visual appearance of the turntable. It is a contemporary interior element with a nod to its roots.
The main body is casted with 20-mm-thick concrete, and mid/high-frequency sound is shot upward through the co-axial driver against the brass-casted accoustic lens. Low-frequency sound is boomed downward through the oval subwoofer as it is a non-directional soundwave. The passive radiator that looks identical to the subwoofer maximizes the woofer in a concrete speaker box with a small volume.
