The R3 DIY Bluetooth Radio allows users to built their own speakers and learn about the intricacies of sound quality. Created by Celia & Perah, an audio engineering company, the DIY Bluetooth Speaker creates a unique consumer experience.
The DIY aspect of the speaker attributes more meaning to the device; users gain an in-depth understanding of how sound is transmitted through the building process. As Celia & Perah explains it, making one's own device allows users to learn "the acoustic magic behind the speaker's superb sound quality."
Consumers can build the speaker within an hour and customize it to fit their individual tastes. If desired, they can spraypaint the device's exterior to match the tone of any room without the risk of harming its mechanisms.
