The right to repair is recently a big thing, and there are many new products that prove it. One of the best examples in Tech World is Framework, which has increased greatly by focusing modularity and repair ability in the ethos of its laptop and new mini desktop PC. And like the tendency of any gadget worth its weight in lithium-ion, other hardware companies are taking note and hopping on repair bandwagan. I am ready to say that this headwind of modularity has now been extended to the world of audio.
it Teufel to Bluetooth speakerA German audio company called “Satan” or “demon” in English, anything in my very secular opinion, but evil. I say that the reason for this is that it really bothers to repair and deal with the concept of modularity. According to Tafael, its new speaker, called Mayand, is completely repairable, including the battery, which is often the first component in the gadgets of this variety. And when the battery goes, there is power, and when there is no power, well… when things are air in the landfill.
This is not just a battery, though. Teufel’s Mynd Speaker also has open-source software and hardware, which means that you can actually print some components at home with 3D printers or make new drivers for speakers. Theoretically, you do not even need to buy mynd to unite yourself from the tafael. Instead, if you have a 3D printer and some technical information, you can print the shell, use tafel’s software, and buy your intended components. After that, just collect them correctly, and you go there; You have a Mynd.
“A 3D printer with sufficient print volumes and materials can print all plastic parts, and we have also published the software that Mynd uses internally. It means that it only requires a few handful of screws and you can build your very speaker. You can adjust tuning for your personal desires,” An engineer said for Teufel in a blog post,
I like to repair: It is better for the Earth and it is better for people, which are two very important things. It is said, I have some doubt about how to feel my dear, because there are obstacles in making something that is almost completely open and modular. One of the things that is Great, which was made of plastic, as engineers from the Mayand State. It is difficult to say how it affects the sound without an attempt.
If there is a real problem with Mynd, it is that Teufel does not ship in the US at this time. If you are in Europe, however, you can order this speaker to € 229.99 through the tafael’s site. It is worth noting that Teufel Does Ship speakers in the US with fender branding, so perhaps the ban will change in the future.
The fact of this fact is that people want products that will go and also products that they can feel good. Most people – involve themselves – a pang of that guilt when something goes wrong with a gadget and you have to garbage it, and this especially collapses when you know that things are not to happen in this way. Looking at the option, I think most of us will choose to buy a new battery on just a completely new speaker. The name Teufel can be demonic, but mynd feels like a saint from what I am seeing.
