SOL Republic Intros Portable Speaker

  • PDF

Headphone maker SOL Republic debuts its first portable Bluetooth speaker-- the SOL Republic Deck, a Motorola co-development launched together with the newly announced Moto X smartphone.

Sol Republic DeckSimilar to the Jawbone Jambox (if with a larger and flatter design), the Deck promises "powerful sound you can feel" through R2 Sound Engines and a bass port, as well as up to 90m of wireless range.

A curious "Heist Mode" allows the pairing of up to 5 smartphones, with users taking turns to control the choice of music.

Wireless also comes through NFC, while more old fashioned customers can make use of stereo-in and stereo-out (allows daisy-chaining of multiple speakers) jacks.

The Deck is available now in a variety of admittedly lurid colours with names such as "Lemon Lime," "Gunmetal," "Electro Blue" and "Vivid Red."
