The Soundboks Mix is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for both everyday listening and large gatherings. The unit delivers up to 121 decibels of output, providing high-volume playback suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. It features a compact form that weighs under 10 kilograms without the battery, allowing a single user to carry it between locations. The exterior uses a reinforced frame with rounded corners and a metal grille, built to withstand impact, spills, and changing weather conditions.
The speaker includes selectable sound modes and in-app EQ controls to adjust performance across different environments such as indoor rooms or outdoor spaces. The battery system supports up to 40 hours of playback at moderate volume and can be swapped out during use to extend operation. Multiple units can be connected using TeamUp mode to expand sound coverage.
