Not so much a speaker as a speaker solution, LeapSonic features a smart metal drive that you can attach to any resonant material: glass, wood, metal, and many more. Once attached, LeapSonic will transform the surface into part of its system, using the surface as a conveyor for its high-bandwidth sound. Emitting the sound evenly across the surface, LeapSonic sends out crystal-clear, fully-immersive sound of unbeatable quality. No other surface around, no problem. LeapSonic can also work as its standalone Bluetooth speaker. This is a convenient, versatile sound option for every environment. Once you use LeapSonic, you will never want to go back to your old, outdated speaker anyway. This is the future of sound.
The Story
Co-Founder Brad Lefton
Leapsonic operates using a smart metal magnet, inducing uniform vibration in any attached surface and producing soundwaves similar to traditional speakers. This technology, sourced from a US naval sonar program, transforms solid surfaces into a sound source, offering an immersive surround sound experience.
Leapsonic engineering enhanced this technology by integrating a vibrating actuator with a unique Suspension Spring Base (™). This combination ensures effective transmission of vibrational force to any surface, regardless of the unit’s orientation. Consequently, LeapSonic works on any hard surface, including windows and mirrors. Additionally, the unit incorporates a conventional speaker without a solid surface, ensuring versatility in various environments.
The Tech
Sound Beyond Boundaries
Renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid set out to design something stylish and meaningful. The soundwave-inspired image that he has adapted for LeapSonic complements any décor sensibility while also calling to mind all the joys and pleasures of music. A one-of-a-kind case, it attaches to surfaces easily and then stays attached. Using a novel design concept, Karim has created an elegant piece of décor that will fit into any home or office. Understated and sleek, LeapSonic looks great wherever you put it. Whatever solid surface is nearby, and whichever you prefer, this Bluetooth speaker connected to your phone will keep a grip on it – and keep the beats going on and on.
