Forget bulky speakers of the past! Japanese ingenuity has birthed a game-changer – the Fabric Speaker Portable from Sensia Technology. This isn’t just a speaker; it’s a revolutionary sound experience woven into a thin, lightweight, and incredibly flexible fabric. Imagine sound emanating from the very surface of a tapestry!
Born from flexible electronics, this marvel takes the lead as the first practical application of the groundbreaking fabric technology developed in 2018 at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. The secret? The entire fabric is composed of flexible conductive fibers, structured like a capacitor, expertly engineered to produce sound waves.
But how does it work? This innovative electrostatic speaker utilizes a clever sandwich-like structure: two conductive layers and a razor-thin dielectric layer working in harmony to create the vibrations that translate into rich, immersive audio. Sensia Technology envisions this sleek device gracing your walls or nestled comfortably beneath your pillow, transforming your space into a personal soundscape.
Don’t let its size fool you! This compact wonder delivers a powerful 68 decibels of sound, and doubling the experience with two speakers boosts the volume to a robust 71 decibels – equivalent to the satisfying hum of a vacuum cleaner or the whirl of a washing machine’s drying cycle. Prepare to experience sound in a whole new dimension!
