The drum is called a cajon and it’s an actual instrument that is widely used. Granted this one looks to be very poor quality. Teenage Engineering is a musical instrument company that designs really nice small form factor synths.
Mark Thomas thank you for explaining what a cajon is Lmao I’m a drummer and it hurt so much to watch Linus play it😂
Kennon Swan Haha it’s easy for us to forget that these types of things that seem obvious to us aren’t the same for non-musicians
@@kennonswan3150 haha same!
Not a church youth group without a cajon
And really expensive small synths!
"It's all bass!"
...
"let's unpack the subwoofer."
All bass, the actual frequencies that propagate behind a loudspeaker when it is turned away from the listener.
I work at IKEA and the employees also have no idea what the designers were thinking...
They mostly make synthesisers and sequencers focusing on quirky design normally
It's basically people behind that OP-1 MIDI controller. They even included the signature 4 knob colours for cables input output
Frenzy Frenzy it's however not clear there is any teenage design or ikea technology in those devices. The review seems to point to mediocre Far East OEMs.
Think you actually need to know more about Teenage Engineering team to get this products.

Another Swede. Can't explain it either.
I don't even think that anyone from the Netherlands could actually explain this either considering that Ikea is legally based in the Netherlands due to tax purposes

To be fair, he was fairly close. Just needs to put the emphasis on the second "e" instead of the first one! 🇸🇪
I legit thought IKEA expected you to build your own speaker when you showed the cajon drum lmao
As an IKEA employee I can confirm, we have no clue who this is supposed to be for.
People... that... listens... to... music? Like, what. I was really curious about these since teenage engineering are really well known for their innovative synthesizers. I mean hasn't everyone seen the op-1 and the pocket operator? And except for this confused review... they get great reviews...
@@user-lv6rn9cf8m well they are made to be something different: a modular speaker easy to build, decent at least and to be also a product cool in your house.
Maybe you should visit the website of your employer.

I can relate to this feeling, 75% of my furniture is from IKEA but if you put a random IKEA box in front of me I would have totally no idea whether to predict a positive or negative experience.
It's hilarious to hear Linus' pronunciation of "Frekvens" as a Swede 😂
FREK!... vens.
Even for a Dane that shit is horrifying.

Psychiatrist: Linus "cajón flamenco" does not exist, he can't hurt you.

That's not a cajón flamenco, those have metal strings inside. That's a crappy Peruvian cajón, just saying
"I don't know if i have higher or lower expectations because it's IKEA"
Sums up perfectly every item i bought there
Teenage Engineering are DOPE. Highly recommend for any audio enthusiasts/musicians.
I own one. It has great sound for the size and it’s at a great price. Teenage Engineering announced this about two years ago, but only the speakers and a turntable that was ultimately cut from the product line because in product testing, people kept breaking it while assembling. I don’t think teenage engineering designed everything else though like the cups, raincoat, drum, pillow, etc. I think that was an ikea desision to make them.
Imagine going to a house party or w club and the song they are playing is the Linus Tech Tips theme
Dude you wouldn't hear a thing from that in a club or some houseparties I've been to
The best part of Ikea speakers is that in the store they play bangin' tunes.
MCXL yea I was with my mom and dad at ikea and I saw a bunch of people vibing to some tunes and it was the best thing ever
i should vist ikea
Not gonna lie, I'm really tempted to go to my local IKEA just to see this.
"design teenage engineering" means "Designed by Teenage Engineering". Only visually though, as it turns out (thanks Colin from This Does Not Compute).
Teenage Engineering is also more famous for having designed the OP-1, which is basically the reason the youtube channel Red Means Recording exists
7:11
noone: so, whats the objective of your Frekvens Houseparty?
Linus: Make a lot of Bass
in a very small amount of space.
I'm looking at their 'Frekvens' page. And it seems like they're targeting a very specific demographic with this stuff.
Daft Punk fans?
When I saw the Frekvens page I thought it looked brilliant, but this looks like an awful job marketing-wise in store

he'd do the same with a 1000$ cajon
@@philljustphill1656 Which is still just a box. You could use a table instead... And be ready to die when someone doesnt understand table music. Which can actually provide more varied percussion sounds.
i have to say,. im beginning to love
ShortCircuit. testing things. not having to be so serious about it and goffing around abit. i love it!
Oh, so that box isn't somewhere to put you subwoofer onto, acting like an extra ressonance chamber, for ... even more bass?
no, it's a cajon, common percussion instrument, popularly used to substitute a drum set on very small clubs or small house parties.
@@natfingerboard Yeah man, all the small get togethers I have attended have some drum boxes called "Cajon" at them, there's also this really cool rastafarian dude that is Bahamian , unfortunately he's homeless, but he plays some crazy steel drums over his campfire.
ikr... at first I thought it was a place to put the subeoofer...
But then I thought "isn't it too big? Should you put the tweeter too? But there are no holes, the tweeter sound will be dampened"
Then Linus get on it and I realized oh... it is an instrument that I forgot the name and everyone in the comment try to boasting their knowledge... now I know it is called as cajon
Did I just watch for 7:30 minutes until I noticed it was the intro music all along? 😅😂😂😍💕
"How strong is this table these days anyways?"
A speaker that parties by itself. A party speaker.
teenage engineering makes some dope shit for synthesiser, drum machine, and music hardware enthusiasts
yep and only that, as they only lent their *visual* design to this range (thanks to This Does Not Compute's video)
I think this has real value, being too bassy is easy to correct and fix, the other way around is much more difficult to correct since additional bass makes the driver work way harder. Turning up the treble isn't such restriction. Of course there is much more to good sound than just balance, but that goes a long way.
And being modular means you can quite easily add to the system with splitters and additional cables.
after he pushed the mid driver in and started going for the tweeter, i amost got a heartattack.
Breaks speaker, complains it's all bass...
I kinda want those for the commedic effect of just setting up a mini stack whenever you need more sound. Pretty sure 2 of the woofer sets can make some decent noise
I think IKEA has lost their mind, this looks REALLY Swedish, would be perfect for a 70's themed house party with ABBA playing lol
As a Swede, how does anything in this video look really Swedish? ô.O
Cajon drums (or Beatbox as some people call it) is mostly used in acoustic sessions and it's freakin' awesome.
I hate that people call it beatbox, because beatbox is a different thing all together
What is even funnier is that "frekvens" is perfectly pronounced as "frequence".
I mean, teenage engineering make the most fascinating and top notch synthesisers (review one of them!!)
I hope you're joking! I really do! Cuz they made a cheap speaker to sell en mass and that's OK, But even my brother can do that! No, they didn't stop there, they used the overpriced tag to buy an actual tweeter and put on it. Then they decided not to hook it up to the amplifier because designing a crossover would be too much. and finnally they decided to put a low-pass filter to cut off high frenquencies from the driver they actually hooked up to the amplifier because that's somehow a good idea and not at all, similar to making a crossover.
I mean, they could just as well have wired everything thogether shoved up on an amplifier terminal and just hope it works well enough not to catch fire before the 1 year warranty ends.
@@marcosvictor4935 yeah this does seem like they've sold out to them IKEA dollars, doesn't mean their synths are bad though... So no, I wasn't joking
@@marcosvictor4935 th-cam.com/video/7z4hoazra_g/w-d-xo.html this beast comes from Teenage Engineering. It is a piece of art (I am assuming it's the same folk, there's a small chance I'm wrong)
@@TamDNB Ookay, that's really good sounding and feature packed so they do know how to build circuits for audio and what kind of components work best, they clearly also have very good and talented programmers. That only makes this product line for IKEA that much more confusing Tho. As someone that could have actually been hired to design those things I'd try my best to do the best I can with whatever budget I had, clearly that's not the case here. I would be ashamed if my name was signed on those boxes, really. Even if the product was great, just the marketing and box design would make me feel ashamed.
@@marcosvictor4935 completely agree mate
I mean, in Europe (as far as i know) Ikea is in partner ship with the speaker company 'sonos' you're able to find custom sonos lamp speakers as custom sonos wooden speakers and many more. But I've never seen this line of product in the Ikea
So Linus just went into IKEA and said "I'll have all of your Frekvens please".
Box: designed to look like it’s a speaker.
Linus: no one could tell theres a speaker inside.
Just call it Frequency
Regards,
A Swedish person
7:33 Linus, it's called "cajón", and it's a percussion instrument originally from Peru.
Frekvens is Swedish for "random stuff"
Practically IKEA's version of channel superfun (but after Steve Burkle 😉 left)
German resident here, those swedes are something else huh? These speakers seem super overpriced, seriously to set up a "2.1" (not even true stereo, according to the data sheet) Frekvens sound system would cost 165 euro plus change. There are much more respectable solutions on the market for half the price. The portability seems to only complicate the issue as the battery packs are not included (although relatively reasonably priced) but then when you include the extra 44 euro plus change you would have to fork out for 3 battery packs you're now competing against even better portable speakers.
To put this in perspective instead of paying around 210 euro for the "2.1" Frekvens you could simply spend 145.50 for an LG PL7 XBOOM and only miss out on 10W RMS over the Frekvens but in return get better sound quality, actual stereo sound, better portability and be 55 euros richer.
On another note that box drum thing is apparently a Cajon, a Peruvian percussion instrument if you want to look up how it's supposed to sound simply search for "Cajon" solo on here on TH-cam.
the last box in spain is called Cajon flamenco ^^ that is used to play flamenco music with a guitar a lot of claps
>oh it’s a cajon; >why is he playing it backwards; >”stupidest thing ever”; >where’s my fucking sword
Linus: "It's all BASS"
Davie504: TRIGGERED
cajun can maybe be used as an enclosure for a speaker .... need to check diameter of the opening and use a speaker that would work fine in a closed enclosure.
>"It's all bass"
More like it's not sold lmao
I'm surprised you didn't also pick up the sound responding lights, one of the best add ons to customize your speaker/party.
Imagine life without LMG
Me myself and games💯💦😩 boi he be ravin
Hey Linus, it looks like you're having a lot more fun with these videos that hark back to the old days of LTT. That's so important, and I love seeing you and the rest of the team happy!
okay, teenage engineering is amazing! They do a ton of really cool synth kits and the like
My church youth group had those weird box drum things, as well as a guiro frog, clap sticks, and castanets. I've played a lot of weird, obscure percussion instruments there.
teenage engineering makes some amazing electronic instruments. very highly regarded.
Yeah, I was expecting so much but was pretty disappointed.
The big empty box is actually audio enhancer -if your listening room has only like a sofa and the speakers ( no mats or rugs or you spoil it ( the meaning of having and using that altogether))-it will enhance or make the sound worse -but its also sensetive where you put it -
Frekvens - sweedish for frequency.
why they don't translate these things is just stupid. can't pronounce half of the stuff in ikea, which makes everything harder than it needs to be
burnzy3210 omg Ikea is Swedish, why would they translate the products to English? Do english companies translate their products to Swedish? 😂
@@burnzy3210 So Volkswagem should change their name to Peoplescars company in US to make it esier?
@@dodecahedron1 I mean.. yeah, technically South Korean manufacturers tend to *localize* their product names, which is the word all of you weirdos are looking for.
Seriously, localization of product names is nothing new, so yeah, it should have at least a secondary name or sub-name, like Markus (Mark) or something wouldn't be awful, not a literal translation 100% of the time since it would create off the wall names but yeah.. localization is a thing companies do. While I wouldn't say "YEAH!, FORCE THEM to make it English!" I will say having a subname for it would great help.
Some mild localisations outside of just making Nagiri into Donuts in Pokemon include:
Dōbutsu no Mori get's called Animal Forest by English speakers, Dōbutsu no Mori is the franchise that started Animal Crossing, and Animal Forest was the English name for the game that came out on the N64.
Zankyou no Terror and "Terror in Resonance" is another example, this time it's a Japanese Anime we're talking about, while the English word "Terror" is in the Japanese title, that does not obviously make it understood by English speakers who do not know Japanese., thus "Terror in Resonance".
I forgot my last example since I was eating some pancakes and watching something else for a bit, but to cut to the chase, there are plenty of companies who name their products with a regional name. It's not absurd, it's not some idiot being Xenophobic (although to say "it's just stupid. [I] can't pronounce half of the stuff [...] which makes it harder than it needs to be." is implying though subtext at least, that they think they SHOULD rather than saying COULD, that's a big difference in this discussion.) and close minded (completely) it's just someone venting their frustration about not having regional names, seriously, why do you other commenters (3 out of 4 total at time of typing) act like regional names and localization is just absurd and nonexistent?
because words outside of the roman alphabet are uncommon and hard to pronounce. also they're apparently simple descriptive words, so why not?
These would make a nice pair of bookshelf or computer speakers if they had separated stereo inputs
I think this was made for, and ONLY for the Dutch.
You probably mean the Danish, don't you dare to blame the Dutch for this

The last thing actually is a very common intrument in germany. It is called Kachon (cajon) here and even I have one at home. :)
until now i wondered why you really needed another channel, now i understand
That drum would make a good cat house.
In the UK the ikea speakers are lamps as well and they were made by sonos
tbh: if ikea sold a piano and the sign said piano, there would not be any further explenation of what it is xD
from seeing these videos I guess that everyone is having fun with this channel and unboxing stuff
"it's all base" - you say it like it's a bad thing.
It is, the bass' work is to give a punch to the music and serve as a base for all other instruments and along with drums it gives a rhythm. If it's not calibrated it will make your music sound muddy
If you know how to play that drum they're actually pretty awesome. They are used for busker bands a lot.
Its a type of party in which everybody just died
Watching Linus make fun of this product while presenting it was great. I am glad they created this channel as well. (:
Everything on this channel is FUEGO
Love when other people tries to pronounce the name of IKEA products haha 😁
I dislike how these guys just rip off LTT’s opening jingle like that. Shameful!
Its a type of party which ends at 9
That pillow are perfect for gaffers and lights crew. as a reflector and for napping.
The future is a sofa with bluetooth led tv 5g
I mean.. you can technically already do that.
Shit, even a Touch Screen computer built into the armrest is possible without even being janky at all.
As for bluetooth, LED TV, and 5G
*For bluetooth capability.*
iirc there are 5G add-in SIM Cards for phones, so perhaps you can do that and have a phone built into your couch like how cars had built-in telephones back in the day.
for bluetooth, either go the computer built into the armrest approach, or just use a Thin mITX motherboard, have stereo speakers connected to it, and have the whole assembly hidden behind the back cushions of the couch, there's usually some hollow space there., for speaker mounting you can either take apart the plastic housing and have them front-facing under the armrest area, OR you could also have bluetooth speakers as well which charge through USB (connected to the Thin mITX computer behind the back cushion or into the built-in computer in the armrest) and mount them inward-facing on the armrests, like have them facing the couch seats themselves and near the front so they don't get badly muffled.
*For monitor capability.*
So theres a main approach to this one, and while typing this I realized there's also an insane approach to this, find a couch with a reclining section, not the whole couch, JUST one seat. Take that reclining assembly apart, put it back together in reverse, instead of the recliner being out and swinging down to close, you want it to be rotated to be upwards, and going towards the sofe back in order to close (which needless to say, it won't.) INSANE VERSION OUT THE WAY, Portable Monitors, ASUS makes some really good ones that are I think up to 17 inches, there's even a model that takes video input AND charging in only 1 Type-C cable, intended for laptops this kind of cabling system greatly reduces any power cables coming out the back, and also is easier to route. The 15/17 inch monitor goes onto some makeshift hand made "VESA Mount" for a screen that doesn't have vesa mounting holes, after you make an enclosure for the monitor to go inside of, the housing should have VESA mounting hole compatibility and be mounted on a swing arm which attaches to an armrest, the Type-C power/data cable goes along the swing arm.
Well, I sorta covered the 5G bit into the "for bluetooth" part, so just an aside to that, VoIP would probably just be the easiest option, there are programs /besides Skype/ that let you have VoIP and treat your computer like a Phone whenever you need to make calls. Finding a laptop that has a SIM Reader also isn't impossible, Lenovo and I'm sure others, but Lenovo has them in "business" computers as cheap as 600 USD last I checked.
***TL;DR*** It's already possible, if you don't believe me just read above. *Side notes:* I also want to shout out r/pcmods and r/SFFPC while r/sffpc doesn't show off Thin mITX they do a lot of other SFFPC cases like the Dan A4 Mini and such, it's a circle-jerk of popular cases a lot of times since that's what the sub likes and puts effort into looking good, however they are also the only subreddit (that I know of) that even touches the acknowledgement of homemade /small/ cases, so some of the people there do know about Thin mITX and would be ablew to help you with any questions, r/pcmods gets a shout out here because not only do they do "basic" mods like spray painting graphics cards and worsening the performance of Noctua fans, but they also do some really awesome CNC, Dremel, Laser Cutting work, and this leads to them showing off a lot of random integrations of stuff, PC in a car, custom Desk PC with touch screen monitors in the desk, computers in briefcases, etc. Check both of the subreddits out if you are even remotely interested in custom PCs that aren't just either pretty colors, good cable management, or water-cooled behemoths like on r/pcmr, while those are neat, they are not nearly as uniquely amazing as the other two subs.
That "open back" design on the subwoofer is a passive radiator. Or it appears to be anyway.
PLEASE MAKE MORE ENTERTAINING VIDEOS LIKE THIS! BEST VIDEO FROM YOU GUYS !
6:57 did he just call a passive radiator an “open back design”, then compare that to the ports on the speakers
“WHAT ARE THOSE?!” (points at his sandals)
You are new around here aren't you?
You're missing very important parts of FREKVENS which are the lights!! Yea the speaker is the main part but the lights are what makes the line shine ( literally). Also there's a high top bar table, stools, ottoman, cups, mugs and dishes
Linus playing the Cajón was painful, lmao.
This channel is the best invention since dunking croissants into coffee.
For some reason I feel this episode is super fun.
Only IKEA can make you assemble a Bluetooth speaker 😂
Linus is as amazed that it came with a stencil as he is with good pcs
I love when people try to say Swedish words, Frekvens is the Swedish word for Frequency just in case anyone was interested in knowing that. :)
teenage engineering is like really big in the music making scene with their OP-1 and other pocket operators
Bose actually had a product where you built your own Bluetooth speaker.
It sounds really good and even had RGB it’s fun to build but there’s no battery.
