Vibrations can go a long way, especially for the transmission of sound through material. Now you can harness that power for a creative and useful purpose. The Yorozu Audio kit lets you use just about anything as a speaker! Starting with the included paper milk carton “speaker”, all you do is place the vibrating extension onto a surface with the included adhesive sheets, plug in your audio source, and have an instant audio speaker. Perfect for having portable audio when you need it.

Create instant speakers out of paper, posters, boxes, white boards, suitcases…you name it!
