Seemingly a pool toy, the speakers pictured below are developed and designed to add to your poolside musical experience. With a potential to submerse up to 9 feet for long 30 minutes, these weatherproof speakers can stand against the weird nature of unusual elements. How does it work?
By connecting wirelessly to a powered transmitter-dock with an integrated audio-in for an MP3 player, it comes equipped with a six-hour battery life having a range of 150 feet. A single transmitter is enough to support around 10 speakers. Every individual speaker has four ultra-bright LED lights that add to the aura of the lovely evening.
Underwater technology is based on one key principle: Sound travels about five times faster in water than in air. Closely knit water molecules need less displacement to transfer sound.
That may be a simple premise, but numerous types of underwater sound systems have flowed from it. When it comes to the speaker component, though, manufacturers say there are two basic varieties: (1) A moving coil speaker, similar to the shaker of a standard home audio system. Coil speakers, such as tactile sound transfusion speakers, are amp-driven and emit strong vibrations ideal for rhythmic, low frequency sounds. (2) A voltage-driven "piezoelectric" speaker, which is constructed with layers of stainless steel disks.
Following its initial debut, the underwater sound system generally was considered a specialized, luxury feature. Its use was restricted to institutional arenas, such as space training, naval research and synchronized swimming.
For people who participate in home exercise, lap swimming can be boring and tedious, according to a manufacturer. "When you can keep cadence with music just like a jogger, you can time yourself and do exercise," he says. In the last couple of years, he has seen a hundredfold increase in the number of orders he receives for tactile sound-based speakers.
He and other manufacturers have seen underwater sound used in many venues. "The newest market we've had is people who want to listen to the news or music while they're swimming in place in the endless pools," says another manufacturer.
