"Most wireless speakers fall into two visual camps: squat cylinders that look like tech, or anonymous black boxes that try to disappear. There is a third path, treating a speaker like a small piece of architecture in the room, something that stands tall and holds its ground even when it is silent. Sonique is a vertical aesthetic speaker that leans into that idea, more road sentinel than soda can, more monument than gadget."
"Sonique is a speaker inspired by global monuments, aiming to embody the idea of a road sentinel that seamlessly integrates artistry and functionality. The form language borrows from tall, narrow towers and arches, and the goal is to create an object you would be happy to leave on a shelf even when it is off, because it reads as a small, calm monolith rather than a piece of hardware waiting to be told what to do."
"The basic form is a tall, rounded-top shell with a recessed fabric front and a small control strip at the bottom. The vertical posture lifts the drivers and makes the speaker feel more like a portal or doorway than a box. The controls are reduced to a simple strip with minus, play/pause, and plus, integrated into the front plane, so they do not break the silhouette or shout for attention when you are not using them."
Sonique is a vertical aesthetic wireless speaker that treats audio hardware as small architecture. The design borrows from tall, narrow towers and arches, creating a narrow footprint and a slight backward lean for an asymmetrical, deliberate posture. The exterior is a continuous rounded-top shell with a recessed fabric front and a minimal control strip with minus, play/pause, and plus. The vertical posture lifts the drivers, giving a portal-like presence. The palette is soft grey with splash and dust resistance. The technical spec includes a Class-D amplifier (2 × 30 W RMS), 60 Hz–20 kHz response, and up to 18 hours playback.
