Purists be darned PT. 11-15
An Update:
It’s been a minute, and things have slowed down to more of a chorale, if you will. The drive is still there.
There are now a handful of these units out in the wild, being played by some incredibly talented musicians. Seeing them on stage and hearing the feedback has been both exciting and invaluable.
Lately, the focus hasn’t been on building more units—it’s been on building a better one. I’ve been refining the mechanical design, simplifying assembly, and redesigning portions of the electronics to make the entire package more robust and easier to manufacture.
The next milestone is a Launch Edition of 10 units. The plan is to offer these through Reverb.com, with a current target price of $599.
This revision also adds a full-range pass-through output, making it easy to daisy-chain multiple Robot Speakers, send a signal to a house PA system, or feed a powered subwoofer for additional low-end support.
There’s still plenty to do, but the project continues to move forward. Thanks to everyone who’s followed along, offered ideas, tested prototypes, and encouraged me along the way. More updates soon.
