KICKER Performance Audio today unveiled its first portable wireless speaker, KICKER® KPw Portable Bluetooth® Speaker, giving music lovers a powerful, portable speaker system with the bass performance that made the company famous.
Available as of this month, the KPw plays audio streamed from any Bluetooth-capable source, from smartphones to tablets, PCs and more. The compact, water-bottle-sized speaker with rechargeable battery wirelessly connects to Bluetooth-enabled devices for a seamless musical experience minus wires or cords. The KPw is available for purchase at www.kicker.com and other fine electronics retailers. MSRP is $199.95.
The KPw features two robust drivers, a pair of passive radiators for powerful bass, and integrated digital signal processing settings for optimized sound. Volume is controlled with a simple twist of a circular top slider, and a built-in speaker phone makes it the perfect speaker in the car, kitchen, home office or anywhere users need the convenience and safety of hands-free communication.
The sleek, cylindrical design ensures this speaker will fit anywhere, easily sliding into a backpack or purse, a cup holder in a car or on a bike, with up to 10 hours of output from a single charge. The KPw is water- and dust-resistant, rated at IPX5 protection, with maximum durability thanks reinforced metal grilles and rubber guides that also provide a reliable hand grip. Both an attachable strap and carabiner are included for added convenience.
Using single-button pairing, it’s absolutely the easiest way to play music files from a smartphone or any media device without being restricted to near an outlet. The built-in rechargeable battery is rated up to 10 hours of continuous play and charged using a micro-USB cable that plugs directly into a laptop or tablet, or via the included power adapter. A battery-status LED notifies the user when the unit is fully charged. The KPw also provides a 3.5mm aux-input near the power button for direct connection with any audio player’s headphone output.
