The speaker uses an ultra-thin German Schott glass diaphragm as its primary driver, allowing the transparent front panel to produce sound while revealing the movement of the internal acoustic system. Dual 4-inch full-range drivers powered by two 80 W Class-D amplifiers deliver stereo audio, with three selectable sound modes available for different listening environments. The speaker displays synchronised song lyrics through the MorningBlues app, which also allows users to customise text animations, fonts and visual effects while supporting AI-generated music videos and personal media playback. An optional Music Hub controller adds karaoke functionality, vocal removal and multi-speaker connectivity with up to three additional Bluetooth speakers from different brands.
