FEATURED WORK : "B660 SoundBlocks"
"B660 SoundBlocks" : Justin S. Millien
The B660-SoundBlocks are portable modular speaker housings with individual drivers. This modular setup is easily configured for a range of sound profiles, room sizes and shapes.
The blocks themselves are also bevelled akin to many standard block speakers which allows for multiple angles of sound projection for each frequency range.
With an individualized setup like the B660, a passionate audiophile user can operate the drivers with any audio configuration, mono, stereo, multi amplifier, etc. with relative ease.
