Nearly-Invisible Sound Systems

The ClearView Clio Speaker is Made Using Acrylic Glass

The ClearView Clio Speaker is almost exactly the opposite of what people have come to envision sound systems as. In place of bulky black technology, it boasts a sleek and slim design and a near invisible material. With its acrylic glass stereo transducer, the ClearView Clio Speaker could easily be mistaken for some sort of futuristic communication device.

Although people might question the ClearView Clio Speaker's quality, Uncrate reports, " Its unique curving shape, and its ability to emit sound through its edges (rather than from the rear like normal cones) lets it fill any space with sound in multiple directions." Able to connect to various devices, it is available in silver, dark bronze and charcoal.
