About Musipple 音楽プレーヤー

Musippleは、中国の伝統文化と現代のテクノロジーを融合させた音楽プレーヤーです。そのフォルムは、東洋美術に頻繁に登場するモチーフである「波紋」と、レコードプレーヤーの形状から着想を得ています。再生を始めるには、アームを波紋の中心へ動かします。その動作は、まるで聴き手自身が波紋を生み出したかのような感覚をもたらします。本体は高強度プラスチックパネルで構成され、圧縮成形、組み立て、表面処理の工程を経て仕上げられています。スピーカーシステムは、ツイーター2基、ミッドレンジ2基、ウーファー1基で構成されています。

Production Technology
Select the speaker unit and crossover. High-strength plastic is selected as the main material of the box. According to the design drawings, the high-strength plastic is compression molded and assembled into various panels and connecting parts of the speaker, such as the front panel, back panel, side panels, top panel, bottom panel, and reinforced support. structure etc. Use screws and glue to connect and fix the various components together to ensure the stability and structural strength of the box. Internal padding and soundproofing. Carry out surface treatment, including sanding, painting, spraying, skinning, and other processes to increase the beauty and protection of the wooden box. Install the drive unit of the speaker (such as speaker unit, speaker unit, electronic components, etc.). Adjust the sound effects of the speakers, including frequency response, sound quality, volume, and other parameters to ensure that the performance of the speakers meets the design requirements.
Design Challenge
How to achieve the integration of eastern and western cultures and the integration of tradition and modernity is the difficulty of this project. We have gradually overcome the above problems through the design of modeling semantics, interaction methods, and other aspects.
Research
Musipple attempts to connect Eastern cultural intentions with Western product styling, while also making the product more traditional and modern. In terms of interaction, we have also made corresponding designs to make the speaker playback more natural.
Inspiration
Wei Yingwu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty in China, once wrote a poem. The meaning of the poem is that the trees near the water cause ripples when they touch the water, and the birds on the trees are singing. To turn poetry into a product, MUSIPPLE adopts the shape of a vinyl record player, which is also an attempt to integrate Eastern and Western cultures.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2023 in Beijing and finished in February 2024 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
The way to turn on Musipple is also very special. You need to move the pole to the center of the ripples as if the ripples are caused by you. The music is embodied at this moment. Ingeniously, this is consistent with the way vinyl records play music.
