# Camouflaged Speakers SteroStone Fountain Speaker By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-04-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-speakers-the-sterostones-fountain-speaker References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2008/04/stereostone_fou.php?p=2&cat=undefined#more) This 40-inch water fountain has a speaker inside. SteroStone's Fountain Speaker is an [outdoor lawn speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundcore-boom-3i) with a 250-watt, 8-inch dual voice-coil. By day, it's a unique camouflage, but by night, you can crank on the [internal lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker) for a hip, mood-setting ambiance. "At night, the $600 Fountain Speaker lights up with submersible low-voltage lighting," Dvice explains. "To play your music through it, all you need is a speaker wire, though you'll have to plug it into a 120-volt outlet for the lights and pump to work." And here's my 2 cents: this [outside speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ego-power-sk1800e) does not seem to be protected from the elements and from possible "confiscation". It also looks somewhat like a funeral urn. Other than that, I am not liking this fountain speaker right now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Outdoor Audio:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating durable and weatherproof outdoor speaker systems. - **Multi-functional Design:** Opportunity to develop products that serve multiple purposes, such as a speaker that doubles as a decorative water fountain. - **Mood-setting Technology:** Opportunity to integrate lighting features into speakers for creating a customizable ambiance. ### Who This Affects Most - **Audio Equipment:** Innovative audio companies can explore creating specialized speakers for outdoor use. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor brands to offer unique and multi-functional products that enhance the ambiance of outdoor spaces. - **Landscape Design:** Opportunity for landscape designers to incorporate audio and lighting systems into outdoor spaces for an immersive experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Discreet Outdoor Garden Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-series.md) - [Transparent Loudspeaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loudspeaker-system.md) - [Solar-Powered Outdoor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lodge-sound.md) - [Ice-Inspired Ferrofluid Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceberg-crystal-speaker.md) - [High-End Outdoor Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonus-faber-aster.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md) - [Textured Acoustic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhapsody.md) - [Sculptural Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker.md) - [Water-Covered Speaker Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water.md)
