DIY Perks' Laser Surround Sound: Wireless Home Theater Magic

DIY Perks has created a unique home theater setup, using a red laser diode and 3D printed ceiling mirror mounts to transmit surround sound wirelessly. This innovative method, using the TOSLINK digital audio standard, is sure to spark conversation among guests.

DIY Perks has developed a system that uses a cheap red laser diode, modulated by the TOSLINK signal, to transmit surround sound wirelessly through the air. This method does not eliminate the need for powering each speaker. To direct the laser light to individual speakers, 3D-printed ceiling mirror mounts were employed for each surround channel.

In addition, a translucent plastic diffuser was used to create a larger aiming target for the TOSLINK receiver. This ensures accurate reception of the laser signal, even with minor adjustments in the room.

DIY Perks' wireless surround sound system, using a red laser diode and 3D printed ceiling mirror mounts, is an innovative way to run a home theater. While it retains the need for powered speakers, it eliminates the need for cables, providing a clean and unique audio experience.
