NU BLASTER, 2006, WPC/ABS SHELL, NYLON BELT 

Somewhere in the early 80’s, the ghettoblaster came up as a part of street culture, today it’s gone and people settle for cellphones, ipods and their miniature earplugs. All this can’t replace the experience of a real ghettoblaster. That was reason enough to relaunch and redesign it as an extension for existing sound sources like the ipod. The uncommon shape has two reasons:

First, high-end sound quality. The ‘head’ of the blaster provides space for a large bass speaker, and the long narrow end of the horn-like (thus, audiophile) shape serves as a bass reflex tube.

Second, the shape allows for perfect wearing comfort: as the blaster has a belt, there are two ways to carry the blaster around, on your shoulder (the 'oldschool' way) or on your hip, like a shoulder bag.
