The K-box Gel Audio Speaker
The K-box Gel audio speaker from Kerchoonz Ltd, is composed of a small speaker powered by an internal amplifier which when placed onto solid flat surfaces, walls or windows turns the surface into speakers or sound board.[1] Its intended use is to amplify and provide stereo sound that is supplied by any audio source that has 3.5mm audio output. The K-box can be utilized with contemporary electronics, like a computer, iPod, iPhone, television, or portable gaming device.[2]
The K-box is about the size of a standard cell (mobile) phone. [3]
The K-box uses a hybrid technology of standard speaker, delivering mid to high frequencies and a Gel Audio driver delivering low end Bass frequencies. Gel audio is patented loudspeaker technology. When placed on flat solid surfaces, this technology enhances the bass response to improve the volume and audio quality.[4] The K-box gel audio techonolgy has been explained as “hydro-gel” suspension system used to improve the dynamics in comparison to similar speaker products which typically work on transduction. [5]
The K-box is powered by a built-in rechargable battery with up to 20 hours of playtime per charge. Recharged via computer USB or 5v adaptor. [6]
