Vintage Soul, Modern Sound

Timeless design, room‑filling bass

Escape the plastic noise. This hand‑finished wood‑grain speaker brings the warm soul of a classic car stereo into your kitchen, studio, or wherever you unwind — a pocket‑size titan that honours the golden age of audio while streaming today’s playlists.

WHAT MAKES IT

Craft meets acoustics

Three things that separate this speaker from every plastic rectangle you’ve owned.

DESIGN FIRST

Hand‑finished wood cabinetry

Real birch veneer, not a printed sticker. Every speaker housing is sanded, stained, and sealed seven times — the same process used on high‑end furniture. The grain pattern on yours is one of a kind.

SOUND ENGINEERING

Passive subwoofer that breathes

A rear‑firing passive radiator works with the main driver to push air deeper and cleaner than its size suggests. Bass notes don’t just rattle — they resonate. You feel the kick drum in your chest.

CONNECTIVITY

Bluetooth 5.0 with instant pairing

Switch on the toggle, watch the warm amber dial glow, and your device connects in under two seconds. Range is solid across a large room or out on the patio. No app, no fuss.

The wood grain is exactly as pictured — heavy and real, not a veneer. The weight alone convinces you it’s quality before you even turn it on.

I bought it for the looks, but the bass surprised me. Paired it with my record player and now the whole living room hums.

Sounds warm and full. Only wish the battery indicator was a bit clearer — no big deal, I just plug it in sometimes.

Gave one to my dad for Father’s Day. He’s not techy, but he paired it himself and now it sits on his workbench playing old blues. Perfect gift.

Really nice piece. The knobs feel solid and it’s loud enough for our kitchen. I’d buy another for the office.

Charged it once and it lasted the whole weekend at the cabin. Streaming podcasts by the fire. The ambience is real.

It’s a conversation starter. Everyone asks where they can get one. The sound quality is surprisingly deep for such a small box.

Great speaker. The wood colour was a tiny bit lighter than my desk, but I still love it. Seriously good mid‑range.

Unboxing it is an experience — like opening a vintage radio kit. The smell of the wood when you first take it out. Immediately felt special.

3 MINUTES TO BEGIN

How to start

1

Unbox & charge

Take out the speaker, USB‑C cable, and aux cord. Plug the speaker into any USB power source until the amber light turns off — full charge takes about 2.5 hours.

2

Flip the toggle

The metal switch on the front clicks satisfyingly into place. The dial glows warm amber; the speaker is now discoverable.

3

Pair instantly

Open your phone’s Bluetooth settings, tap “A9 Retro,” and you’re connected. For older devices, plug the aux cord into the jack on the side.

4

Place it where it lives

The solid wood base and rubber feet prevent vibration walk. Set it on a shelf, kitchen counter, or nightstand — it becomes part of the room.

Why every home needs a vintage speaker

CHAPTER 01

The disposable sound trap

Most portable speakers feel like afterthoughts — hollow plastic boxes that sacrifice warmth for volume. Music loses its texture, and even your favourite album sounds two‑dimensional. That restless feeling when a song should hit but doesn’t.

CHAPTER 02

Inspired by the dashboard legends

We went back to the 1970s garage — a time when a radio was a centrepiece, not a chip. The hand‑finished wood grain, the weighted tuning knobs, the satisfying click of a metal toggle switch. Every detail was rebuilt for today, with a subwoofer that honours the original thump.

CHAPTER 03

Finally, a speaker that stays on the shelf

When it looks this good, you stop hiding it. Keep it on the counter, on your desk, or on the nightstand — it’s part of the room now. Guests ask about it. Music becomes an event again, not just background noise.

KEEP IT GOOD

A little care goes a long way

🧹
Dust oftenWipe the wood grain with the included microfibre cloth to avoid buildup in the grain.
💧
Keep dryThe housing resists casual splashes, but it’s not waterproof. Avoid direct rain or placing it next to a steamy kettle.
☀️
Avoid prolonged sunlightLike any good furniture, direct UV can lighten the finish over time. A spot out of harsh sun keeps the colour true.
🔋
Charge gentlyUse the provided USB‑C cable and a standard 5V adapter. Over months, it helps the battery live its longest life.

STRAIGHT TALK

Questions before you buy

How long does the battery actually last?
Between 6 and 8 hours of continuous play at mid‑volume, which covers a full workday, a dinner party, or most of a weekend’s casual listening. Recharge takes about 2.5 hours via the included USB‑C cable.
Will it pair with my older phone?
Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 is backward‑compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 devices and up. It also includes a 3.5 mm aux port, so you can still use a cable with older MP3 players or turntables.
Is the bass genuinely deep or just a marketing claim?
The passive subwoofer moves a surprising amount of air for a speaker this size. You feel acoustic bass and kick drums, not just a rattle. That said, it won’t replace a dedicated 10‑inch studio sub — but for a portable speaker, the low end is remarkably honest.
Why does it cost more than a basic Bluetooth speaker?
Because the housing is real wood, hand‑finished in small batches, not injection‑moulded plastic. Over a couple of years you will spend the same on disposable plastic speakers anyway. This one is built to stay on your shelf, not in a drawer.
Can I use it while it’s charging?
Absolutely. It plays normally while plugged in, so you can keep it on your desk or nightstand permanently powered.
Does it work for phone calls?
It has a built‑in microphone, so yes — calls come through clearly, though the speaker really shines with music and spoken‑word audio.
