# Swinging Sound Systems The Pendolo 2 Speakers Put Your Music in Motion By Alex Scott | Published 2010-03-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendolo-2-speakers References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/03/04/pendolo-for-listening-to-pendulum/) & [omersagivdesign.blogspot](http://omersagivdesign.blogspot.com/) It's safe to say that gone are the days of [giant sound systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esavox) with subwoofers as big as your head. [Micro systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-speakers) have been around for a while but the units they are coming out with today are positively tiny. Take the Pendolo 2 Speakers, for example. At first glance you might guess that this system will have as much power as an alarm clock. Well, guess again. The Pendolo 2 Speakers, although small, apparently pack quite a wallop. The [dangling orbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker) that are hanging off the strings are the main woofers while the horn-shaped structures provide the bass. Designed by Omer Sagiv, the Pendolo 2 Speakers are meant to take the shape of the sounds they omit: the treble is spherical while the bass takes the shape of a smooth wave. Neat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 66% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Micro Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop even smaller, compact sound systems with impressive sound quality. - **Dangling Orbs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative speaker designs using hanging orbs for enhanced audio experiences. - **Shape-shifting Sound:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create sound systems that visually transform based on the type of sound being produced. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced audio technology into consumer electronics, such as smartphones and laptops. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers to create visually appealing sound systems that seamlessly blend with home decor. - **Music Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop audio equipment and software that can manipulate sound shapes and create unique audio experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Inspired Limited Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellame.md) - [Minimalist Art Piece Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totem-rr231.md) - [Minimalist See-Through Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witalogy-speaker.md) - [Music-Sharing Transmitted Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundmotion.md) - [Transforming Speaker Furniture Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ound.md) - [Ceiling-Mounted Orb Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andr-terchanian.md) - [Immersive Multi-Room Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiroom-speaker.md) - [Rolling Pentagonal Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-speaker-concept.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md)
