Hybrid Bluetooth Portable Speakers

Ponti Design Studio Designs the RIFF Speaker for Fender

— May 26, 2023 — Tech
Ponti Design Studio creates the new RIFF speaker for Fender, which appears to be a traditional Bluetooth speaker. Once it is turned around, the RIFF has a space to plug in an electric guitar and riff to different tracks. The RIFF allows users to play supplement chords, improvise a new lead, or add their own bassline.

The speaker is designed to have a 60W output with an impressive 30 hours of battery power. In terms of the visual design, the RIFF boasts a square design in a square-like structure complete with the Fender logo along the front, similar to a guitar amp. Notably, the RIFF also has a touch panel that controls the volume, treble, and bass levels.
