A vintage‑inspired portable Bluetooth speaker that brings deep, room‑filling bass and timeless wooden design to your everyday listening.
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.
Craft meets acoustics
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.
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.
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.
How to start
- 1Unbox & 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.
- 2Flip the toggle
The metal switch on the front clicks satisfyingly into place. The dial glows warm amber; the speaker is now discoverable.
- 3Pair 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.
- 4Place 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
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.
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.
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.
A little care goes a long way
- Dust often
Wipe the wood grain with the included microfibre cloth to avoid buildup in the grain.
- Keep dry
The housing resists casual splashes, but it’s not waterproof. Avoid direct rain or placing it next to a steamy kettle.
- Avoid prolonged sunlight
Like any good furniture, direct UV can lighten the finish over time. A spot out of harsh sun keeps the colour true.
- Charge gently
Use the provided USB‑C cable and a standard 5V adapter. Over months, it helps the battery live its longest life.

Questions and answers
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely. It plays normally while plugged in, so you can keep it on your desk or nightstand permanently powered.
It has a built‑in microphone, so yes — calls come through clearly, though the speaker really shines with music and spoken‑word audio.
