I love these kind of hacks. Nicely done. However I must disagree with one thing in the original article:
> Brilliant sound
I have a Symfonisk bookshelf speaker in my kitchen, and I don’t think the sound is brilliant. It is too boomy for a speaker that is supposed to be placed near a wall or in a bookshelf. The low price forces some compromises and I suspect this is one.
- squarefoot 4y agoI've listened to one at a IKEA shop and think its quality is mostly okay (speakers placement can change everything), but if I needed one I would certainly build it myself for much less money using cheap easily available ready made modules to convert to wireless normal amplified speakers. This is a field in which DIY is still viable; the other day I posted a link to a data sheet of a set of modules promising quite serious performance (digital uncompressed audio with sub-millisecond latency), but sadly can't find any seller from whom I could purchase a few for testing. http://www.vastera.com.tw/1/PDF/DIO-S003B.pdf http://www.vastera.com.tw/1/PDF/DIO-S003B.pdf

- atVelocet 4y agoYou know that you need to calibrate them with an iPhone? This totally changes the sound.
- yborg 4y agoYes, I went through the whole procedure.
- bjelkeman-again 4y agoDidn’t know that. But it turns out it isn’t supported on my iPhone SE 2nd gen. Bah.
- wodenokoto 4y agoI found the guide difficult to understand, but I think the end product is connected to new speakers. At least they link to buying a pair of speakers.
