Are you ready for the bass to drop? The El Wire Kanye Glasses are ready to capture that electrify bass even if you are not. (Kanye West started to bring back the fashionable craze of the 80s, somehow cliche in a matter of months. He did that by wearing sunglasses that are described as “shutter shades” or “slatted sunglasses.”)
The El Wire Kanye Glasses have six multicolor tracks of El Wire mounted on the shutters of the glasses. The glasses are a show stopper the El wire is not. The El wires go around the ear to two control boxes really are not seen. The glasses are a simple V/U meter controlled by the audio driver circuit.

The Op Amp circuit first amplifies the microphone signal of the audio. Next, the low bass filters to focus on the bass frequencies. The filter bass then is sent to an envelope detector which turns the audio wave into a DC voltage signal. The steps to light up your face are not over yet. It then uses a resistor ladder and six comparators tied to TRIACs to tune the triggers voltage levels of the EL bars. The bass drop glasses have only 13 Op Amps and support components, no microcontroller needed. As DIY projects go, this is one of my favourites.
Grab a pair and Dance the night away with El Wire Kayne Glasses. Like Mr. West, you too can steal the spotlight away from anyone, just follow this instructional post from Ch00f.
