"LG is adding a karaoke-focused party speaker to its lineup of Xboom devices, which is built in collaboration with Will.i.am. Announced this week, LG says the Stage 501 speaker comes with an "AI Karaoke Master" that can remove or adjust vocals from "virtually any song," similar to the Soundcore Rave 3S. It can also adjust the pitch of the songs to make them more comfortable to sing, and it doesn't require karaoke-specific audio files to do so, according to LG."
"All four speakers have an AI-powered feature that analyzes audio and "adjusts EQ settings to bring out melody, rhythm or vocals," according to LG. The company also says the speakers use AI to adjust built-in lighting based on the song, while the Stage 501 and Blast use a technology called "Space Calibration Pro" to adjust sound quality based on the surrounding environment."
"LG has added a couple of compact speakers to its lineup as well: the Xboom Mini and Xboom Rock. With the Mini, you can expect up to 10 hours of playback and IP67 water and dust resistance, while the Rock promises the same battery life with support for Bluetooth Auracast, a feature that allows you to broadcast audio across multiple speakers at once."
The Stage 501 is a karaoke-focused Xboom speaker with an AI Karaoke Master that removes or adjusts vocals and changes pitch for easier singing. It keeps a five-sided design and adds dual woofers and full-range drivers for richer audio. A swappable 99Wh battery delivers up to 25 hours and 160W output (220W when plugged in). The Xboom Blast is a smaller outdoor model with bumpers, handles, and a 99Wh battery for up to 35 hours. The Xboom Mini is IP67-rated and the Xboom Rock supports Bluetooth Auracast. All models use AI to adjust EQ and lighting; the Stage 501 and Blast add Space Calibration Pro for environment-aware sound. Pricing and launch are pending.
