The Klipsch Capitol One Speaker celebrates the 70th anniversary of [Capitol Records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capitol-ai) with a design that is inherently retro yet infused with modern features to make it suitable for modern users. The speaker features [vintage fabric, real wood veneer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kor1-speaker) and spun copper controls on the exterior, while the interior hides a bi-amplified system with a 4.5 wood and 2 1/4 inch full range drivers. The speaker also features a rechargeable battery within that will provide up to eight hours of usage per charge, while the [Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nattbadd-bluetooth) offers connectivity to the device of your choosing.

The Klipsch Capitol One Speaker is available in brown or black color options and even comes with a redemption code that's good for one free vinyl record from Capitol Records' catalog.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Retro-modern Design:** Opportunity to create products featuring the look and feel of vintage decades, but with modern functionalities.
- **Rechargeable Audio Devices:** Opportunity to create audio devices that are mobile-friendly, yet do not require conventional power sources.
