Andrew Roberts designed the 3Eel speaker, which is inspired by the Three-Eyed Eel. The technological device has an artful and [sculptural silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/node-atom) designed with high-fidelity sound reproduction. Visually, it has a distinctive look as it appears to be a work of art at first glance but also delivers [premium sound for audiophiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piega-premium-801).

The 3Eel is a bold look that highlights the drivers in the speakers. Traditionally, [cabinet designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker) have issues with internal resonance, and the 3Eel addresses this problem. It is inspired by the work of Laurence Dickie and his use of tapered tubes in speakers. There is a triple chamber in the 3Eel which essentially functions as a diminished raper. As a result, driver units are not hindered in delivering sound close to the original recording.
