The speaker features a [spotlight-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andr-terchanian) that is intended to be positioned right beside a couch or chair in order to direct the audio directly to the viewer. This eliminates the need to raise the volume on the TV to drown out ambient noise, while also preventing the user from bothering others in the household or neighbors with loud audio. The conceptual 'sound/spot' speaker is the design work of Kihyeon Kim, Lee Hyo Min and Seongmin Kwon, and helps to accommodate the needs of consumers who are streaming more content in their living room than ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spotlight Speaker Design:** Opportunity for the development of speakers with specific, focused audio outputs. - **Customized Audio Solutions:** Opportunity for personalized audio solutions that cater to the specific audio needs of consumers. - **Improved TV Viewing Experience:** Opportunity for innovations that enhance the overall TV viewing experience by improving audio quality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Audio Equipment Industry:** Industry players can explore the manufacture and marketing of speaker designs with specialized audio outputs. - **TV and Home Entertainment Industry:** Industry players can explore integrating new audio technologies into TV design to optimize audio performance. - **Home Automation Industry:** Opportunity for integrating these speakers into home automation systems to offer consumers improved audio control and solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Targeted Audio Wave Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zipp-speaker-concept.md) - [Invigorating Speaker Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-and-visual-device.md) - [User-Following Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solros-speaker.md) - [Comforting Pillow-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oa-speaker.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Anti-Distraction Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravt-speaker.md) - [Transforming Speaker Furniture Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ound.md) - [Modular Audio Immersion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-speaker.md) - [Wearable Living Room Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-tv-speaker.md)
