Retractable Outdoor Speakers

The C SEED 125 Speakers Pop Up from the Ground on Your Property

— June 5, 2017 — Tech
Utilizing speakers outdoors usually means having to carry them out whenever you want to use them, but the C SEED 125 Speakers aim to change this with a design that puts them into the ground on your property. The speakers feature a retractable design that enables them to be installed in the ground and pop up whenever they're needed to play music or add ambience to an outdoor gathering.

The C SEED 125 Speakers retail for $54,000 and are powered by L'Acoutistics, which ensures that the music feedback will be as strong as possible with each and every use. The speakers aim to help your outdoor space look as clean and simple as possible to ensure you never have to deal with unsightly accents.
Trend Themes
1. Retractable Speakers - The design of speakers that can be easily hidden or retracted from view presents an opportunity for the development of innovative audio systems that not only enhance user experience but also complement decor.
2. Installation Innovation - 'In-ground' installations provide solutions for aesthetic, safety, and technical challenges to audio installations, and present a great opportunity for innovation in audio manufacturing and installation services.
3. Smart Outdoor Spaces - The trend towards seamless integration of technology into everyday life has created new markets for smart outdoor audio solutions that can be seamlessly controlled by interlinked smart devices.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment Manufacturing - Innovations in speaker design present an opportunity to expand the reach and market share of audio equipment manufacturers, particularly those that specialize in outdoor audio solutions.
2. Real Estate and Construction - The integration of in-ground speaker installation may find a market in residential and commercial real estate, adding value to properties with ambient sound design that can boost customer appeal and satisfaction.
3. Home Automation - The growth in home automation markets and increasing demand for voice-activated devices can present opportunities for companies to offer outdoor audio solutions that are voice-enabled and compatible with popular smart home technologies such as Alexa.
