One of my dream projects is a high quality open source, syncable, low latency bluetooth/wireless speaker system, like the JBL speakers except that you can bring your own amp and drivers and software and stuff.
Culturally, this kind of thing could be revolutionary. Outdoor music events with dispersed speaker arrays would be much less noisy than ones with giant central arrays, but everyone would be able to hear the music much better and with much less damage to the ears. You could probably get away with having pretty large gatherings without any noise permits.
One of the things I noticed about clubs in Berlin vs. clubs where I'm from is that the sound systems are distributed more evenly throughout the spaces. So you don't need earplugs as badly as you do in my city where the venues all use these massive mono speaker arrays and if you're in the front row you're gonna get tinnitus.
The JBL setup is designed really well, but it's proprietary and different generations aren't backward compatible.
I wanna see an open source hardware alternative. Where do I sign up!
