Sure CD sales have steadily declined but that doesn’t stop some
designers from envisaging new concepts created just for pure
audiophiles. The Pandora Alcantara is a wall mounted CD player
that borrows a little of today’s tilt sensing technologies to make
the disc player more relevant. The comes in the form of a tilt
sensing bar fitted with a wait for it. . . touchscreen. Leaving the
bar vertical lets you control volume while the horizontal position
lets you scrub thru tracks.
Of course for a technology as “archaic” as CDs, there’s gotta be
a gimmick to lure buyers in. That’s why the Pandora is completely
covered in Alcantara - a super luxurious suede like material found
only in exotic luxury cars and yachts.
