# Sound-Transferring Devices The Mighty Dwarf Amplifies Audio Through the Use of Its Surroundings By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mighty-dwarf References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/consumer_product/wireless_resonating_speakers_turn_any_flat_surface_into_your_neighbors_worst_nightmare_23718.asp) & [mightydwarf](http://www.mightydwarf.com/) The Mighty Dwarf is an unusual speaker that transfers its sound to its surroundings in order to properly amplify the audio. Likening the opposite effect to a set of guitar strings with the body of a guitar, the strings would make a sound, but only a very soft sound. Essentially, whatever the Mighty Dwarf is placed on, be it a frisbee, bench or other flat surface, will help to resonate the sound. Produced by LAVA Imports Inc., the Mighty Dwarf creates a sensational, 360 degree listening experience by using its electrical output to produce a powerful, coordinated and sustained vibration. It can be used with other devices such as an iPad or iPhone as a music player or even a speakerphone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surround Sound Amplification:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop speakers that use the surrounding objects to amplify and enhance sound quality. - **Vibrational Audio Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of using electrical output to create coordinated and sustained vibrations for audio amplification. - **Multipurpose Audio Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create audio devices that can be used with various devices, such as smartphones or tablets, for multiple applications. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sound-transferring technologies to revolutionize traditional speaker manufacturing processes. - **Mobile Device Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop versatile audio accessories that enhance the audio experience on smartphones and tablets. - **Acoustic Engineering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new techniques and materials to optimize sound resonance and amplification in various environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrational Full-Range Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gadol-vibration-speaker.md) - [Resonance-Powered Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapsonic-speaker.md) - [Portable Phone-Attached Mini Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magboom-mini.md) - [Compact Audio Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiio-snowsky-tiny.md) - [Three-Dimensional Home Audio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-speaker.md) - [Portable Wireless Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero.md) - [Hearing Loss Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundfun-mirai-speaker.md) - [Vibrating Wearable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-wearable-speaker.md) - [Music-Sharing Transmitted Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundmotion.md)
