The K-box, the first gel audio technology that turns any solid surface into a speaker system introduced by social media platform Kerchoonz.com, was selected as a 'Runner-up' for Music Therapy Most Valuable Product of 2009 in the Therapy Times' 2009 MVP Awards. Therapy Times found that the K-box provided therapists with the ability to create a portable music therapy environment.

"Something new to the field that I think has got a lot of potential to change the way we use music therapy is the K-Box. Using special 'gel audio technology', this handheld speaker can bring people out from the seclusion of their headphones and share what their music with me, just by using any flat surface. We're not shut out anymore, but sharing a musical experience, working primarily on the rhythm and vibrations of the music. Even better, I've found that clients enjoy changing between different flat surfaces I have in my office because it changes the frequencies of the vibrations - wood, metal, or plastic tables can all be very interesting amplifiers." - Ryan Thames, MT-BC

By plugging the device into any laptop, portable gaming device, MP3 player, mobile phone, TV or any 3.5 mm audio jack and then placing K-box on a desktop, table top or wall, the product uses the Gel Audio Technology to convert the entire surface underneath it into a giant audio speaker. Unlike most mini-speakers, the K-box does not produce a 'tinny' sound. Instead, the denser the surface, the deeper the bass response. This hybrid speaker has both a standard speaker inside (delivering mid-to-high frequencies) and the Gel Audio Technology (delivering low-end bass frequencies through surfaces).

The size of a mobile phone, the rubber-based device has an average output performance of 95dB at 1m, with the bass performance varying, dependent on differing surface levels with output ranges between 40Hz-20Khz. Recharged through USB connection, the K-box offers up to 20 hours of playtime between charges. K-box is available at Free Legal Music Downloads or Streams - Register Free at Kerchoonz , selling at £49.99 or $74.50 USD, plus shipping & handling.
