Braven’s Vibe Wireless speaker wants to revolutionize the idea of surround sound, with its new Vibe system, making it possible for those of us without a hefty budget to create a multiple audio channel experience anywhere.
Braven unveiled Vibe at CES 2014 this week, showing off the world’s first portable distributed audio system, operated via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Vibe’s brag factor is pretty simple — it creates a wireless sound network allowing users to single stream different music into different spaces — jazz in the living room, classic rock in the bedroom, etc.
Users can share music cross multiple devices, and stream audio from multiple rooms, indoors or out, from a smartphone or any wireless device. The Vibe enables users to set up speaker zones, even integrating existing speakers. It’s the only system utilizing Wi-fi and Bluetooth with an app establishing speaker groups under the same network. The customization possibilities are endless.
