The Teenage Engineering OB-4 touches down as a cutting-edge piece of audio technology that balances a modern design ethos with a very classically Rush-minded spirit of radio.
An FM-enabled, high-fidelity, multi-purpose Bluetooth speaker, this sleek bit of tech from TE is a love letter to the audiophile seeking a reliable means of music. The OB-4 operates on a rechargeable battery that lasts for seventy-two hours of radio listening and forty hours of Bluetooth listening – providing hours upon hours of high-quality sound. Multi-functional connectivity allows for a wide selection of uses as the OB-4 seamlessly connects to Bluetooth, FM signal and line-in sound sources – a standout feature being its unique tape dial that enables rewinding of live radio up to a two-hour record. The OB-4’s final mode, the experimental “Disk” mode, accesses a collection of new functions to experience music differently for various activities. Use this mode as an ambient noise machine to turn any audio input into a relaxing soundscape with an optional sleep timer or use it as a mantra box while in meditation with its dedicated Mantra mode. Additional functionality of the Disk mode includes a metronome capability with a classic 808 beat available, and a white noise generation capability. Designed for great deliverance of audio in any setting, the OB-4 is a multi-faceted sound machine in the most modern of senses.
