These cases are where it’s at. It’s so refreshing to see something so practical made as art. I’ve been making my own little boom boxes but they don’t even come close. VERY impressed.

Wow. These are ridiculously awesome. I used to own a mint-condition Lasonic TRC-931 and loved it like a child. Unfortunately, it was stolen a few months back and I’ve been searching for a replacement ever since. I think I may have just found something that one up’s it! Can you give me a price quote for something similar to the “Big Thumpy” you created? I’m looking for 200-300watt 3-speaker setup (tweeter, mid, and low-range) housed in a sleek modern briefcase. Plug-in & battery powered with an auxiliary iPod connection. Also would be nice if the speakers had some cool looking grills so I don’t have to worry about speaker punctures. Thanks dude and keep up the awesome work!

Beautiful cases! I’ve made one out of a violin case. And build amplifier (wall plugged) in old suit case.
Yours need definitely a grill in front of speakers to prevent damage while walking!

[…] Mr Simo’s BoomCases are self-powered amplification systems built into vintage suitcases and briefcases. They run for seven hours on a single charge, and come with a built-in charging plug. Cost is $275 and up, which is steep, but here’s a way to be stylish and audiophilic in one go, and they’re hand-made by a skilled craftsman besides. The BoomCase by Mr. Simo […]

Great idea!
My wife has been bugging me to clean the old luggage and shipping boxes out of the attic and my assortment of leftover drivers out of the basement. This beats eBay by thousands of $$!

I just had to tell you how nicely done, and well made these cases look. What a great concept. Marrying the old school luggage to the new school speakers is the perfect match. Great stuff.
Hello Mr. Simo,
some cool designs you got there. I’m wondering how you do the mixdown since many of your cases seem to be mono/1 channel sound only. Do you do a true mixdown as in combine both stereo channels into one mono channel, or do you take just one channel from the stereo signal and put it on the speakers as mono? Very curious about this since i do cases like this myself, but was apprehensive to use only one channel up to now (loss of detail/instruments/etc) and my mixdown “electronic” thingy is still in testing/wannabe stage because stereo just sounds better. I have to admit though, being able to sacrifice one channel for design purposes can yield some pretty nice compromises/design choices 🙂
thx, for the inspiration,
Die Koffers!
Most stereo is an advertising trick to sell you twice as much gear. Real stereo requires capture of harmonic phase differences generated by the acoustics of the instrument (soundboard size, etc.) and the room. Panning controls are 100% fake and do not fool acoustic musicians.
Combining stereo channels is best for mono-compatible signals, which is 99% of recordings. For true stereo recordings, taking one channel is better representation. I suggest a switch if you care about accuracy.
If you are making recording for a mono portable case, you can use MS (mid-side) dual microphone and matrix the L-R tracks. This is standard technique for broadcast and film where mono compatibility is still a requirement.
Thats all good and well and true, but what if i have a true mono case and happen to find one of those rare true stereo recordings (some m4a file, or a very good flac file in the player). With a true mono case i will miss that cleverly positioned trumpet in the corner or whatnot ;). Hence why I was curious about the mono type cases using one channnel or a “mixdown”/combination of both channels. If they are all custom though, i guess it depends on the client then, eh?
very cool!

What fantastic re-cycling work. That certainly deserve a medal or prize winning in the US light sound industry. An American friend of ours in Birmingham UK called Tom is thinking of using unwanted old coffin shaped woodem violin cases to make a few of the same, Chicago style!

(sorry for my bad english)
