# Roll-to-Sync Speakers These Hexagonal Ceramic Speakers Can Be Synced Based on Their Orientation By Allen Taylor | Published 2014-03-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-speakers References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/03/27/unmonday-ceramic-hexagon-speakers-wireless-connection/) & [unmonday](http://unmonday.com/) A Finish company named Unmonday designed these white hexagonal ceramic speakers that replace buttons with orientation-sensitive controls. These speakers can connect to one another wirelessly by being rolled onto different sides. Up to five unites can be combined to play in sync when connected to a TV or computer. The Unmonday Model 4.3 speaker has one button to turn it on; other than that, the controls are all orientation-based. If more than one speaker is present, the user can rotate the devices to synchronize them. If you want to mute a speaker, just turn it on its head and the sound will stop. The case is from vitro ceramic, has a handmade grill and has a charge point on the back of the device. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wireless Sync Speakers:** Simplifying connectivity by removing buttons and introducing orientation-based controls in speakers creates new opportunities for developing wireless sync speakers. - **Ceramic Device Designs:** The use of vitro ceramic in speaker design creates a window of opportunity for innovating more device designs with these materials. - **Orientation-based Controls:** The introduction of orientation-based controls in consumer electronics provides an opening for developing new devices with similar controls. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment:** This innovation will disrupt the audio equipment industry as it introduces a new way of synchronizing and controlling wireless speakers. - **Home Entertainment:** This innovation will disrupt the home entertainment industry as it introduces a new way to synchronize wireless speakers. - **Ceramics Manufacturing:** The use of vitro ceramic in making electronic devices will disrupt the ceramic manufacturing industry by creating new opportunities for innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Foldable Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md) - [User-Following Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solros-speaker.md) - [Sculptural Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonique.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Donut-Shaped Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-speaker.md) - [Geometric Two-Part Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-bluetooth-speaker-design.md) - [Textured Acoustic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhapsody.md) - [Futuristic Five-in-One Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-bluetooth-speaker.md)
