OB–4
introducing OB–4, the portable high fidelity loudspeaker with two 4'' bass drivers and a pair of neodymium tweeters that deliver crystal clear, open natural sound with 38 watts per channel — that's around 100 decibels
of incredible sounding stereo. listen using line input, bluetooth, FM radio and disk. the interface is minimal, with only the things you really need. yet if you look below the surface, there's a lot more than meets the eye.

have you ever wished you could instantly rewind when listening to the radio, to hear the title of the song just played? OB–4 continuously memorises everything you listen
to on an endless looping tape*. rewind, time-bend and loop at the flick of your fingertips. on purpose or by accident. instant rewind on radio is just one of the OB-4's magic tricks. *ROLLING 2 HOUR RECORDING

if you skip the traditional inputs like line in, bluetooth and FM radio, you end up in disk mode. this is where we will continuously develop new experimental features for the OB–4. it's our public research space,
where we allow ourselves to explore and prototype everything that this media-instrument, as we like to call it, can become. for now, there are three functions on the disk; ambient, karma and metronome.
designed to be played outdoors, in public spaces and at high volume; carried on one shoulder with speaker elements facing the head. note: it is assumed that passers-by share the same musical taste.
or why not give it a home in your kitchen? with any luck, the iconic handle makes it a breeze to carry anywhere, and can even be used as a stand for a more relaxed listening position.
made in london by our friends at bill amberg studio. the OB–4 leather bag is the elegant protection you need when you walk the street in that high fashion district in a metropolitan city somewhere. or, when you just want to round off the edges of OB–4 and feel the soft touch of genuine leather.
ultra durable cow hide is hand stitched along four edges for a perfectly tailored and acoustically transparent fit. the detachable strap can be adjusted to several lengths. each of these first edition bags are unique and hand marked with an edition number.
