For the average consumer, factors that determine which audio system merits their purchase usually depend on price, features, and looks. This is a stark contrast to what would qualify as the top picks among serious sonic enthusiasts. These days, manufacturers are dynamically adapting to whatever is trending. Hence, it’s just a matter of time before concepts like the GRID become mainstream.
Thanks to the accessibility of music streaming platforms, most audio setups at home are primarily comprised of wireless speakers. Since Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are practically more convenient, our smartphones are gradually replacing physical media such as CDs and vinyl records.
Nevertheless, designer Asaf Beiman believes there is still a lucrative market for these. What the GRID brings to the audio equipment scene is a unique form of versatility. The modular aspect of this concept encourages creativity on a personal level.
This means the possible configurations are virtually limitless. As long as buyers have the money and space, they can come up with bespoke arrangements that border on the insane. Of course, contemporary interior design needs to be taken into account for the best results.
The crucial component here is the sleek mounting system. Given that this exists as a concept for now, it’s unclear if proprietary connectors are at play here. If so, it would be such an awesome solution to unsightly wires. So far, the GRID modules include shelves, a vinyl player, speakers, and likely other add-ons with cool gimmicks.
