The conceptual 'Cravt' speaker has been designed by Simon Schuster as an audio solution for listeners seeking out a way to enjoy their favorite music in a less distracted way. The speaker is characterized by its conical construction that features a dedicated section on the built-in pedestal for placing specialized albums for play. These units are something of a hybrid between CDs and vinyl records to allow users to listen to albums more thoughtfully rather than simply playing it from a streaming service.
The conceptual 'Cravt' speaker delivers 360-degrees of audio and maintains a functionality that doesn't connect to voice assistants. This thoughtful approach to home audio takes things in a decidedly different direction to offer something of a balance between past and present-day technologies.
