The wireless speaker produces audio excellence, and accompanies the sound with beautiful
patterns of light that are created in real time, synchronised with the music being played.

Arrays of individually addressable OLEDs are laid inside the upper core of the design,
the patterns of emitted light are reflected onto the polished aluminium lower core.

An embedded micro-controller operates as the music visualiser. It is programmed to use real-time music
properties (e.g. changes in the music amplitude, frequency, wavelength, etc. ) to control the light patterns.
