Product information
Outwardly, the model really resembles such models as the classic Beolit 607, its design was developed together with the Italian-Danish bureau GamFratesi.
Structurally, the novelty is an active acoustic system with a 360-degree directional pattern provided by four emitters driven by four amplifiers with a total power of 280 watts. The speaker set includes a 130mm woofer, two 50mm mid-range radiators and one 20mm tweeter.
The built-in battery allows the speaker to work for up to 12 hours on a single charge, and the IP65 certification means that the housing is protected against moisture and dust. Wireless capabilities of the model include not only a Bluetooth 5.2 module with support for AAC, SBC codecs, but also support for AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect platforms. The proprietary Mozart platform is also supported.
