Atlantic Technology has entered the portable speaker market with a splash, introducing its inaugural offering, the Nexa 1. This sleek and compact music system aims to provide audiophiles with high-quality sound wherever they go, without compromising on durability or convenience.
Equipped with two 2.5-inch aluminum full-range drivers and a rear oval passive radiator, the Nexa 1 delivers impressive audio performance despite its portable size. Driving these components is a robust 60-watt amplifier, which should provide that users experience crisp and clear sound reproduction across various genres of music.
One of the main features of the Nexa 1 is its IPX5 rating, making it both water and dust-resistant. This rugged design ensures that the speaker can withstand outdoor environments, opening up opportunities for music enjoyment during picnics, beach outings, or camping trips. The touch-sensitive film covering the LEDs and top-panel controls adds an extra layer of protection, allowing seamless operation even in wet conditions.
Connectivity is key in the portable speaker market, and the Nexa 1 doesn't disappoint. Utilizing Bluetooth 5.3 technology, it offers a range of up to 328 feet, allowing users to roam freely while streaming music from their favorite devices. Additionally, the speaker can play for up to 15 hours on a single charge, ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment throughout the day.
For those who crave a more immersive listening experience, this portable speaker supports one-touch True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing, enabling users to connect a second Nexa 1 or any other compatible device for wireless stereo sound. This feature adds versatility to the speaker, catering to a range of listening preferences.
Usability is further enhanced by LED indicators that convey operational status and sound effects, as well as top controls for easy access to essential functions such as Play/Pause, Volume adjustment, and Track selection. A dedicated Hang-Up button allows for convenient ending of phone calls, while built-in microphone support enables hands-free calling, keeping users connected on the go.
Technical Specifications
Weighing just 2.6 pounds and equipped with a detachable strap for easy transport, the Nexa is designed with portability in mind. Its MSRP of $199 positions it competitively in the market, offering a blend of premium features and affordability.
The speaker is set to hit the shelves in May and will be available for purchase from authorized dealers as well as online through the Atlantic Technology website. With its combination of refined design, advanced features, and impressive performance, the Nexa 1 looks poised to make waves in the portable speaker market.
