So yesterday, what you see above happened in the studio. I guess the photographer really wanted to buzz the model in, and somehow shattered the plastic housing in his eagerness.
The $18 part was easy to replace, and on the backside of the old one you can see a simple four-wire hookup and the speaker:
If I was a little more hacktastic I'd take the still-functioning speaker and try to do something with it, as so many others have. Remember the BoomCases we spotted a few years back?
Or Devin Ward's handsome hacks on Etsy?
Now we've caught wind of a German outfit doing the same thing. But like the BoomCases and Ward's work, Hamburg's Soundpauli company has their own quirky aesthetic.
