Fabrication Spec's

We will be using a Bluetooth speaker that will be able to be accessed either with smartphone connection, or a plug-in aux cord for alternate pairings. There will also be a switch located at the bottom of the speaker that allows the user to turn the speaker on and off. Sound will depend on both the user’s connected device, as well as the speaker itself. In order to increase the volume, the user can open the accordion-like front section of the speaker to allow more volume flow. The user is also able to pull the up the panels within the body to allow greater

volume increase if needed.

The entire body and panels are made out of a heavier-weighted paper, specifically textured card Bristol board. This gives the speaker a memorable feel, as well as a memorable look due to its gradient paint from light to dark blue. The fabric will lie within the separated panels to allow a connectivity between the pieces, as well as allowing the music to flow through. The fabric we plan on using for the final prototype will be a mesh cotton. Internally, we lined the body with heavier fabric felt to absorb shock to the paper, making it not produce a hollow sound.
