Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1980, Tivoli Audio is the happy marriage of style and sound, consistently crafting products that balances quality audio with design. Its speakers, which come in all sizes, deliver beautiful music through a pleasing modern-vintage charm. A case in point would be the Songbook MAX, a portable Bluetooth speaker with the aesthetic of a boombox (RM3,499). Smaller, lighter and much more stylish than its stablemates, the Songbook MAX retains Tivoli Audio’s unmistakable design elements and audio engineering expertise.
Regardless of the type of music you’re into—hip-hop, R&B, ballads, alternative rock music —the Songbook MAX delivers. Even if your playlist is packed with songs featuring heavy bass, this is still the speaker for you: no matter how high the volume, the tune stays sharp and crisp. The Songbook MAX also works as a separate amplifier for instruments like an electric guitar, keyboard or record player, and even act as an external speaker for your computer, turntable or TV. A built-in DAB and FM tuner also guarantees you don’t have to miss out on your favourite radio shows.
Bluetooth 5.3 ensures connectivity with the latest smartphones and tablets, while the 6.35mm line input allows you to pair your external instruments effortlessly. Tivoli Audio has equipped the Songbook MAX with a 10cm subwoofer, 10cm midrange driver and 2cm tweeter. This boombox-size speaker is powerful enough to fill up an entire hall while retaining audio clarity and transparency.
The Songbook MAX is designed with functional, tactile knobs, sliders and switches. Smooth and easy to use, they give a sense of satisfaction when interacting with them. All models have a retro-looking shell equipped with modern technology, and they double as unlikely home decor. A convenient handle aids portability of a speaker set that’s just light enough to sling over your shoulders.
A built-in battery gives you a running time of 10 hours, so there’s no need to worry about the music failing when throwing a pool party, or when you’re throwing some dance moves on the street. This stylish speaker comes in cream and olive green, and is just the thing for those who value quality, aesthetics and nostalgia.
The Songbook MAX is available online at Nove Marketing, the official distributor for Tivoli Audio in Malaysia.
