Sodapop will make music brighter and warmer.

The main problem with small portable speakers is weak bass. The Norwegian invention solves this problem in an unusually simple way.

Complete with the invention, the developers send a protective plastic case-sound amplifier. The properties of the plastic and the air inside the bottle make it possible to increase the volume in the low frequency range by 10 dB. For human hearing, this is a twofold difference.

However, the column is also compatible with almost all bottles of popular drinks, so you can easily take the Sodapop with you on a trip or on a picnic.

In addition, such a thing can not only surprise others, but also extend the life of plastic containers. For example, you can take the Sodapop with you to the beach, hook it onto an empty water bottle, and enjoy full sounding music.

The elastic walls of the bottle enhance not only the low, but also the high frequencies, so this method of improving the sound works better than the usual Bass Boost mode, which makes the sound more dull and indistinct.

It is not necessary to use permanently empty bottles - this option is more suitable for open spaces. Indoors, Sodapop will do the job just fine without the help of plastic.

According to the testing results, which the developers have shown on the graph, their column outperforms the model without such a chip across the entire frequency spectrum. Initially, Sodapop is optimized for half-liter bottles, but no one forbids experimenting and screwing larger vessels to it.

Main characteristics:

• Power: 2 x 4 W speakers.
• Built-in amplifier: 10W.
• Connection: Bluetooth 4.1, mini-jack 3.5 mm and microUSB.
• Battery: 1 600 mAh.
• Working time: 30 hours.

You can order Sodapop on Kickstarter. One device in the color of your choice will cost $ 55. The speakers will begin shipping in October.
