Today, we are talking about the new Tivoli Audio ART speaker. Tivoli is known as a company that made the famous Tivoli Model One radio.
Now, the company comes with a great wireless speaker. Here, it is all about shapes and materials and hiding the buttons from view.
This new speaker comes with a circular design that features a flat front face that emits the audio. The new Tivoli Audio ART will definitely look great in a home with a mid-century modern-furnished living room.
However, we must admit that this speaker is more like a room accessory, thanks to its incredible design.
This new Bluetooth speaker is available at the price of 249 dollars, which is somewhat affordable. People will definitely pay the money for an attractive design piece that has the capabilities to stream audio via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or wire.
Unfortunately, although this speaker has the capability to deliver quality, mids-focused audio experience, we must say that it is mono only.
This means that the sound is not as rich as other Bluetooth speakers can deliver. Moreover, it is very hard for people to operate due to a poorly conceived control panel.
People who don’t know what the “ART” from the device’s name stands for, should know that it comes from “audio reimagined together.”
So, we must say that the new ART speaker is one of the most beautiful speakers on the market. This speaker is very simple, but amazing, and there are lovely materials to choose from.
People will be able to opt from black ash wood with a black fabric grille, white with gray fabric, or walnut with gray fabric.
Tivoli Audio ART measures 9 inches around and 2 inches deep. Moreover, the circular speaker is easy to hang on the wall due to a keyhole slot situated on the back.
To be added that the company included a speaker stand that orients the speaker upright, at a slight angle to better position the drivers towards the users’ ears.
Moreover, people will be able to control the new speaker via a free app available for both iOS and Android devices. This app will also help users to get through the setup process.
Like main other audio/speaker apps on the market, Tivoli’s app aims to incorporate all of users’ locally stored music and their streaming music services, including Tidal, Deezer, and Spotify. Furthermore, we must say that the layout is not bad, but operation can be convoluted.
But, people should also know that this app can be used just to set up Wi-Fi streaming, and access their music from their mobile device storage or dedicated streaming apps.
As we mentioned, the new Tivoli Audio ART looks as simple as it gets, which means that the control panel is well hidden.
The control panel is situated on the bottom of the outer wooden rim and houses a large array of buttons. Here, people will find individual buttons for Setup, Power, Party Mode, Add/Drop, Source, Volume up, and Volume Down.
