Uniquely designed and a fully wireless standalone or stereo solution for music lovers that want to stand out from the crowd, the original MiniPod is one of the world's most recognised loudspeakers, a true design icon, and the model that started it all for Podspeakers. Since first launch from B&W back in the 1990s, the MiniPod has set a benchmark for what can be achieved when moving away from conventional square box designs.
Play music wirelessly - Hi-Fi sound - stereo pairing
The new Minipod BT MKII is a perfect standalone Bluetooth speaker. However, with the latest Bluetooth technology the speaker can also be configured to comply with other ways of listening to music:
Add a Passive MiniPod MKIV together with MiniPod BT MKII to create a perfect and simple stereo setup.
Use two Minipod BT MKIIs together and create a fully wireless stereo setup with the integrated True wireless technology.
Uniquely shaped and with flexible features and great sound performance, the MiniPod BT MKII is perfectly designed for impassioned design and music lovers.
Colours, cabinet and kevlar
Matt Black, Matt Red and Satin White are the colour range for the new MiniPod BT MKII. The cabinet is understated and cool with its matt finish. The housing material has glass fibres added, which at the same time reduces the cabinet resonance and enhances the housing strength. Overall it gives the plastic cabinet a better performance, almost like a wooden one.
The kevlar driver in Dark Grey colour with concave dust cap, adds perfectly to a modern look. And for a modern acoustic sound, the crossovers and Kevlar woofers have been re-designed from A-Z in this new MiniPod BT MKII. The result: An 'airy touch' with more clear, yet balanced vocals and controlled bass performance. And still with the acoustic signature that makes it a real Podspeaker.
New accessories: hoops and spikes - mix and match your own expression
With the unique "Hoops and Spikes" it is possible to mix and match a personal style for the speaker. Do you want to go for the Nordic soft furniture wooden look? Or maybe the raw and metallic look? Or why not just create your own summer/spring or autumn/winter look? Possibilities are endless to match your taste and style.
The company behind the Podspeakers brand today is EET Group. Group CEO John Thomas says: "The new Minipod BT MKII is a comprehensive upgrade of the famous and iconic MiniPod speaker, loved by hi-fi enthusiasts all over the world for the past decades.
