"it"s refreshing to see a speaker as refined and as beautiful as the $250 Grain Audio PWS." - Wired Magazine The Packable Wireless System from Grain Audio re-imagines the portable Bluetooth® wireless speaker into an object of desire and clear, authentic sound. The walnut enclosure, combined with Waves MaxxAudioTM suite ensures studio quality sound out of a super portable speaker. To ensure the highest quality audio standards both Apt-X and AAC are included. Perfect for around the house or to take with you, the eight hours of battery life allows you to rock without having to worry about charging. You can even use the 60" 3.5MM AUX cable to connect when you are not using Bluetooth®. WOOD Just say no to plastic. Grain Audio used FSC certified solid walnut as the enclosure for the PWS, both for its acoustic and visual properties. Wood, simply stated, sounds better, delivering a warmer, natural sound. The unique grain patterns on each PWS literally make every single unit one of a kind, no two will ever be alike, which is why using solid wood is so much fun. SOUND From the sound board to the speaker. Leveraging the professional sound tools of MaxxAudio® (created by Waves a recipient of a Technical GRAMMY Award®) which is found in many famous mixing boards, the PWS delivers music as it was intended to sound. We also include both Apt-X and AAC to ensure the highest quality audio standards. DESIGN We love things we want to touch and hold, and we know you will too. We"ve separated ourselves from the pack even further with the simple, elegant and timeless design of the PWS. It looks simple because it should be beautiful and easy to use, and that"s what it is.
