So, while I was in China, I spent a few days at the factory with Dave and Rob helping work with the technicians to tune the amplifier for this box. A very interesting process.
First, you will never understand how GARGANTUAN this thing is until you see it in person! The very fact that it plays on a battery is mind bending. And to say it is simply Loud, doesn't even come close. In a room 20' x 30' it is impossible to yell over and be heard even standing side by side yelling into your ear.
Rob has said, this isn't a "Walk around box". Your not going to shoulder it and be strutting down the street. However, in an outdoor setting, say on a soccer field or at the beach, this thing will deliver the goods. If you have ever taken a classic blaster to the beach then you know, if you get with in 20 feet of a pounding surf, the music is gone. GONE! This machine fixes that problem.
Also, if you simply want to have the single loudest portable beast available, here it is.
If you do have a chance to see it, you will notice many interesting design cues, like the bevel-less, near-flush mounted speaker grills, glowing Bumpboxx logo, LED VU Power meter among others.
Per everyone's comments, they have moved the IR sensor for the remote to the front of the box as well as changed the handle shape, charging system, function control (now starts on Bluetooth on power up), up'd the microphone quality and much more. Not just on this box but also on the brand new V3.
And if this isn't your cup of tea, no worries, the Bumpboxx Classic is on it's way!
