The unique name of these clay speakers, Mapuguaquén, comes from the Mapudungun language meaning “sound of the earth.” At first glance, you might think these clay vases are meant for planting or decoration, but their true purpose is revealed once you see they’ve been capped with speaker cones. Mapuguaquén speakers marry traditional Chileanmanufacturing techniques with modern technology, thus keeping alive an ancient manufacturing tradition. Their name comes from the Portuguese word ‘mapuguaquén,’ which means ‘sound of the earth.’

Instead of using large factories, Ocqueteau creates these by hand by mixing natural and technological materials. Each speaker has a raw look and earthy colors, combined with cork finishing around the central speaker
College days, we used to make these kind of speakers and amps based on TBA810 IC, Takara Car audio cassette player, etc.
Apparently you can buy them how and the tag line is "Amplify the sound of earth"

Goodness me! This cassette-flipping concept is new to me. It's fantastic. During the cassette player era, the most mind-blowing breakthrough for me was the skipping tracks feature. Up til then we forwarded and rewinded the tapes to find the start of tracks.Yes! We had quite a few ‘matka’ speakers in our college hostel, being run by car decks. When placed under the bed, you got some extra rock n roll
Lest we forget, not all unconventional designs have to be outlandish. The Nakamichi RX505 was an amazing concept: turn the cassette, instead of the head! I could watch that side change for hours…
I remember seeing a similar Nakamichi Dragon I think years ago at an owner's house in south Mumbai connected to Bose 901 speakers which my cousin had gone to buy. It could flip the cassette & had a very deep cassette holder and was a real beauty unlike any other deck I had seen.Yes!

I recall some of B&O's designs from the 1980s and 1990s being extremely ahead of their time, completely futuristic
Wow.. that is very quick response for a mechanical arrangement.Yes! We had quite a few ‘matka’ speakers in our college hostel, being run by car decks. When placed under the bed, you got some extra rock n roll
