Apple G4 Cube Speakers

Background

The Apple G4 Cube Speakers (model M7963) were clear spherical speakers bundled with the Power Mac G4 Cube at its July 19, 2000 debut, designed by Jony Ive in partnership with Harman Kardon using enlarged versions of the iMac G3's Odyssey drivers. They connected via USB through an external amplifier box (with headphone jack) that also supplied power, were never sold separately, and their design evolved into the Apple Pro Speakers in 2001.
