Naoto Fukasawa designs the new and intriguing km5 CP1 Instant Disk audio player. It has minimal design language and highlights a look that displays the album art. The player has a similar size, shape, and aesthetics to the wall-mounted iteration from its previous launches.
Additional updates include Bluetooth 5.0 technology which is meant to function by connecting to tireless headphones or connecting larger wireless speakers to create a more dynamic audio experience. The portable design is also equipped with a lithium-ion battery that is fueled by USB-C connectivity to allow users to bring music wherever they need it. The additional wall mount allows the player to work as a decorative piece to unveil the aforementioned album art of the music.
