BOSE SOUNDLINK REVOLVE

-

Bose says that its new SoundLink Revolve and SoundLink Revolve+ Bluetooth speakers are its ‘ best Bluetooth speakers ever’, ‘ truly omni-directiona­l’ and ‘ astonishin­gly loud’. Both models are cylindrica­l, with the cylinders manufactur­ed from a single piece of aluminium. ‘ There’s no “front” or “back,” because Revolve speakers don’t have to be pointed to favour one location over another,’ said Glenn Gomes-Casseres of Bose. ‘ Using an entirely new acoustic design, Revolve speakers spread deep, jaw-dropping sound in every direction.’ The Bose Revolve speakers combine two passive radiators (in opposing format) with a single down-firing wide-range driver that fires into an acoustic deflector. ‘ This means the sound radiates uniformly in every direction, with deep, rich bass and without the sweet spots and frequency drop-offs of convention­al 360-degree speakers,’ said Gomes-Casseres.

Both new Revolve models are IPX4-rated to withstand spills, rain, and pool splashes, and reportedly have the the durability to survive dings, drops, and bumps and come with a threaded socket to allow them to be tripod-mounted if desired. The Bose Revolve is 152mm high, 82mm in diameter and is claimed to operate for up to 12-hours on a single charge. The Bose Revolve+ is 184mm high and 101m in diameter with a claimed battery life of 16-hours. Both models can pair through NFC, have plain-language voicepromp­ts for fool-proof set-up, and integrated microphone­s that allow them to be used as a speakerpho­ne, or with Siri and Google Assistant.

Overcoming a limitation of previous models, these new Bose Revolve models can be paired for stereo operation, or co-joined for ‘party mode’ operation using a free Bose ‘Connect’ app. The App can sync any SoundLink models starting with the SoundLink Colour II. Available in black or grey colours, the Bose SoundLink Revolve retails for $299 (RRP) and the SoundLink Revolve+ for $439 (RRP).
