Retro Paper Speakers from Princeton

Gadget maker Princeton has just come out with some nifty DIY Paper Speaker sets that look like retro audio players, but plug into your modern player or PC to become your unassuming, space-saving speakers.

Inside the paper boomboxes and record players are a tiny 3W amp and 1W speaker that, if anything like the Yorozu Audio Sound Revolution paper speaker we’ve played with before, should actually have some decent sound. It’s quite amazing how well sound vibrates through paper to become quite full.

Princeton is also doing a speaker-crowdsourcing contest for creative types to make their own papercraft speakers, so if you have any ideas that you want mass-produced, now’s the time to break out the scissors and crayons!
