Class US manufacturer Tivoli has just dropped three new portable products. At first glance, these new portable devices may seem nothing too special.
After all, they have the aesthetics of a classic radio. But you would be wrong about that. The new models may feature a classy design, but they come with modern tech and hardware under the hood.
Among the three new products from Tivoli, there’s the Model 2 Digital. It’s a 20-watt Bluetooth and WiFi speaker.
Like the rest of the new releases, the Model 2 Digital features a very classic radio-style aesthetics.
However, as you can guess now, it’s a fully-fledged wireless speaker. To be exact, the Tivoli Model 2 Digital has every modern perk you find in the wireless speakers on the market.
That includes the ability to connect to the web. It even has support for various streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect.
You can also use AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast to stream music to it. Also, like most modern wireless speakers, the Model 2 Digital has multi-room capabilities.
It can connect to peer-to-peer using Bluetooth 5.2. You can also connect additional wired devices with the speaker through the 3.5 mm auxiliary input.
Moving on, the next model in the trio is the Tivoli SongBook MAX. It’s an industrial-retro-style music system that might remind you of boomboxes of the past.
Of course, it’s not as large as boomboxes used to be. Nonetheless, the Tivoli SongBook Max is a radio, and it also comes with Bluetooth 5.3.
That means you can locally stream music or tune into your favorite radio channels with it. The unit features a scan button on the front.
It can store up to five of your chosen DAB+ or FM radio stations. Also, it comes with a 6.35 mm auxiliary port, allowing you to plug in a guitar, turntable, or even a keyboard.
Moreover, the Tivoli SongBook MAX is pretty powerful. The brand says that it’s suited to entertainment in both indoor and outdoor conditions. In terms of outdoor listening, the 10-hour battery life of the unit will surely impress you.
For those wondering, it comes with a three-driver configuration. The config consists of a 2 cm tweeter, 10 cm midrange, and 10 cm subwoofer.
The last member of the new releases is the Tivoli SongBook. Unlike the MAX version, it doesn’t come with radio functionality. But it does come with Bluetooth 5.3. You also get a 10-hour battery life, two driver units, and a great design for enhanced portability.
