A battery powered bluetooth speaker, with a dsp driven active crossover you can program to your liking. Charges via USBC, can accept a 3.5mm input which enables you to play an instrument over Bluetooth music. I made this one so my daughter would have a little station to practice on her synth, listen to music and set up audio books on her tablet. No soldering requires. It has stereo dipole planar magnetic mid/ tweeters, and a slim 6.5" woofer in its own sealed enclosure, sounds great
