The SU1 Self-Powered Speaker Might Have an Impressive Soundstage

I was really missing a completely eco product, and now I have just come across the Disko SU1 Self-powered Speaker. This is the winner of the Green Dot Award, and it can power itself completely, aside from delivering surround sound to outdoors for the delight of spring and summer parties. Developed and designed by Heimdall, this wireless sound reproducer packs a solar panel atop, to snatch green energy from the most renewable source, the Sun, enabling it to operate without external help.

As simple as this might look, it can actually be controlled by various devices, such as a smartphone or laptop, thanks to a small transmitter, and also sports three LED lights. This works as simple as it can, namely users only having to connect the tiny portable transmitter to their devices, and enjoy wireless music without hassle, transmitted via a protected RF signal.

The three LEDs are actually highly efficient LED optical units, with automatic switch-on, sporting a twilight sensor. As for the speakers inside, the manufacturer didn’t mention anything on the actual configuration, but rather resumed to calling this an omnidirectional audio diffuser. That leads me to think the SU1 self-powered speaker only packs two speakers (stereo, that is) that are mounted inside an optimized acoustic cabinet, which diffuses the sound in all directions, through the output baffle you can see below.

All of this is built in a case made of varnished or anodized aluminum, and considering the acoustic properties of the material – I really have to wonder about the soundstage of this speaker, because as you know – the less directional a speaker is, the better soundstage it will deliver. That’s all the information I could find about the SU1 self-powered speaker, for now. Availability and pricing are yet to be announced, but mind that you can contact the manufacturer and ask that yourselves.
