We've seen speaker systems that use flat surfaces as a diaphragm before, but Franklin's Roadie might be the first modular to splash down in the new millennium. It's a three part system (if you want it to be), consisting of the EVS-2000, EVS-3000 and EVS-4000. In order of mention, you've got a base model that accepts sources via a 3.5mm input jack, a rechargeable battery with SD card slot, and a bonus tweeter / equalizer. It ain't much good in your hand, but slap it on a table (or any other flat surface, like a floor) and the tunes start to boom. The Franklin Explorer ROADIE (let's call it the ROADIE for short), takes an interesting approach to the portable speaker dilemma. How do you get good quality without sacrificing size? Franklin think the solution is to make the surface that the device sits on the speaker itself! Instead of vibrating a cone like a typical speaker, the ROADIE produces vibrations on any flat surface beneath it. By doing this, the surface acts much like a cone would - vibrating air such that your ears can distinguish the sounds it's producing. It's an interesting method of creating sound.
