Everything here is well packaged. Nothing was broken along the way.

Speakers (no designations) and decorative grilles (grills):

Power supply, accessories, battery pack (without battery), remote control with battery (put the battery in!), cloth, radio antenna, cables:


Power supply with Chinese plug 4.2 V 1 A:


Accessories:


Blanks for the plexiglass body - sent in black. Judging by the pictures from the store, there are also red and transparent colors.


Module - the heart of the column:


Connectors, wires are signed, there is a microphone (wires dangle):

ASSEMBLY
To assemble this column, it is not necessary to assemble electronic circuits on boards. It is enough to solder a few wires. Assembly instructions are missing. Before assembling, let's brainstorm.

Let's clean the blanks of the case from protective films:


Fingerprints are clearly visible on a black glossy background.

1. The speakers are installed between the round holder (which is installed in the cabinet) and the decorative grille.


No speaker locks are provided, I will fix them with glue. It is good to place a rubber gasket between the speaker housing and the holder to reduce vibrations.

Installing speakers

First, solder the wires, look at the polarity of connecting the speakers. Then, on the Moment glue, we glue the speakers, the holder, the rubber seal and glue everything.










Install the module, battery compartment, power connector and two 3.5mm jacks.




2. One 3.5 jack is used for a line input, the second is only for connecting an external antenna for the radio (there is a soldering point on the module). There is no headphone output on the module.

3. The battery poles are not marked on the battery compartment. BL-5C battery compartment. From this photo we determine the polarity:


Since there are no assembly instructions, it is apparently supposed to be supplied from the 4.2 V power supply directly to the battery and from the battery to power the main module. It is clear that charging lithium batteries directly is not good. I decided to install a "folk" lithium battery charging board. Used a glue gun to attach.


The board does not support the "hot" charging mode (we charge the battery while the device is running), we had to make a separate socket for charging, and use a circuit breaker on the main one - the battery is turned off when the power plug is exposed. Perhaps I was too clever with connecting the battery and it can be connected directly to the module.
4. If you stick silicone feet from the kit, then the battery compartment is higher than the legs and the speaker stands on it.


It is not good. Or change the legs or the battery compartment inside. So I did. The compartment opens - if you pry it with a screwdriver.

5. For the microphone, I drilled a 4.5 mm hole just above the control panel and inserted it there. Fixed with hot glue.

Assembly process:



After assembly, a few screws and nuts remained - they put it with a margin. This is good.

RESULT





There will be no measurements - since this is a column, in order to take measurements normally, you need a measuring microphone, which I don’t have yet.

The supplied power supply is bad. After connecting to the speaker, a squeak and whistle are heard when the music is not playing, a Chinese plug and 4.2 V. Refine (how?) Or change.


Another photo of the power supply inside






I replaced it and everything is ok.

Power Supply


In terms of sound quality. Plays fine. Of course, "transparent highs - velvet bass" should not be expected from the design. But it does not cause gag reflexes.

Does not hammer, does not thump and does not creak. Comparable in terms of sound quality

It is clear that the functionality and quality is completely determined by the module. Such modules have been described here repeatedly. I will write my comments and observations:
1. Turned on by a switch on the board. At the same time, it immediately turns on the Bluetooth mode, which is loudly announced by a female voice. If a flash drive or memory card is inserted, it plays from the card and reports it. If it is connected to a computer, then the USB speaker mode is turned on (see below) and reports this in a female voice when turned on.
2. The operating mode is displayed on the screen.
3. When the power is turned off, it does not remember: mode and volume. But it remembers the frequency of the radio station and the track number (but not the position in it).
4. There is a “miniUSB” connector on the panel. Can be used to power the module.
5. There is a "clock" mode, which is reset when the power is turned off.
6. FM radio mode. The radio picks up well. But there is no fine tuning and it is not clear how to memorize radio stations. You have to go through the stations by numbers with the buttons for switching tracks.
7. To change the volume, you need to long press the track switching buttons. Need dexterity.
8. If there is such a cable:


Then the column can be used as an external usb speaker to the computer (the built-in DAC is turned on). The volume can only be adjusted by the computer.




9. The remote control works well.
10. Flac, mp3 plays. The screen shows the time, how much the track has played. It starts playing files from the root folder, then plays files from subfolders.
11. Played files from a FAT32 flash drive with a capacity of 64 GB.
12. From the line input it plays quieter than a flash drive. You need a high signal level or a preamplifier.
13. Bluetooth is normal here. There is no aptX here. For this application, it doesn't matter. Recognized by all phones. Normal range - 8 m. Positioned as ZTV-CT02EA


14. The microphone for Bluetooth works when making calls. It is well audible in a meter or closer.
15. The volume control on the Sinezub on the phone works separately from the volume control on the buttons.

CONCLUSION.
In general, I liked the design. There are shoals - how could it be without them. The main drawback is the not very durable acrylic case with screws. The design is more thoughtful than. It is clear that for comparable money you can buy a ready-made speaker, but there is sufficient functionality, good sound, a remote control with a battery, rich equipment (charger, different cables), a USB speaker for a computer ...

Most importantly, the designer gives you the joy of self-assembly of a useful device with a good loud sound :-)

Read in the review what a portable speaker with a radio is, how it differs from a portable radio. And most importantly - a review of the best models on the market at an affordable price.

Neither time nor technology stands still. A couple of decades ago, you could easily surprise the average person with a miniature radio that was powered by a couple of batteries, and its function was to search for stations. Today, the radio has become like an appendage to other devices - watches, alarm clocks, telephones, radio tape recorders, speakers, etc. Why not embed it, if possible?! In addition, despite the development of television and the Internet, there are still a huge number of people around the world using this useful technology.

Especially popular lately are portable speakers with radio, often with support for flash drives, which make it possible not only to listen to your favorite station, but also to music directly from your phone or external drive. It is about them that we will talk today.

Portable speaker with radio - what kind of gadget is it?

Portable speakers are essentially the same battery-powered radios, but with more features. Here you have a Bluetooth function that allows you to connect the gadget to other devices, and better speakers, and a rechargeable battery. Often, these speakers receive connectors for installing memory cards or connecting flash drives. More advanced models are even equipped with a screen, an alarm clock and a calendar. With all this, their cost does not exceed the price tag for a familiar radio, with the exception of models from well-known manufacturers with a bunch of additional features.

Best Portable Radio Speakers

Wireless speakers with radio gained massive popularity thanks to Chinese manufacturers. Everyone, for sure, fell into the hands of a technique from the Middle Kingdom, stuffed with a variety of functions.

Hello to all. I decided to share my impressions of a very solid device - the MUSKY DY21L Bluetooth speaker, purchased on AliExpress. Now such devices are quite a popular trend. Branded speakers from JBL, Sony cost space money, so I went to study the well-known Chinese store and ordered MUSKY DY21L for testing. And now about everything in order.

Specifications:

Speaker power: 8W (two speakers 4W each)

LED display

MP3 player - USB, microSD card

AUX input - Mini-jack 3.5 mm

Built-in microphone for hands-free calling (headset function)

Playback Formats: APE, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA

Built-in lithium battery: 2000 mAh

Operating time: ~ 4 hours (music)

Size (LxWxH): 23 x 9.5 x 7 cm

Equipment:

Speaker

Charging cable

AUX audio cable

Instruction in English

Appearance:

The speaker looks very solid thanks to the combination of glossy plastic on top and matte aluminum inserts on the sides. Almost the entire front panel is covered with a protective mesh, on which there is a small LED display.

There is also glossy plastic on the bottom and four rubberized legs that prevent the speaker from sliding on the surface. There is a matte plastic on the back, in which perforation is made, through which a passive speaker is visible to enhance the bass. All connection ports are also located (and there are plenty of them here!) And the onoff switch.

Controls:

  • PlayPause buttonPick up the handset
  • Mode button to switch modes
  • Buttons previous track next track
  • Volume down/volume up buttons (This is great, because the Chinese love to combine them with switching tracks)

Signal sources:

One of the greatest strengths of this gadget is the ability to play sound from almost all relevant sources.

  • Bluetooth - wireless connection with a laptop phone. During operation, no communication problems were found. Claimed 10 meters holds exactly.
  • FM radio - FM radio. Picks up the signal perfectly. The antenna is built into the speaker housing.
  • USB Flash - upload music to a USB flash drive. During playback, the timecode is shown on the display.
  • SD Card - fill the muzlo on a memory card. During playback, the timecode is shown on the display.
  • AUX - line input. We connect the column to everything where there is a 3.5 mm jack audio jack

Impressions and sound:

And now the most important part - impressions about the sound. After all, everyone likes to listen loudly, and even with deeper low frequencies, right? Here MUSKY DY21L can be put a solid five. The sound is rich and bassy. The volume reserve is enough. The speaker always turns on with a volume level of 20. When turned off (in the case of playback from a flash drive), it remembers the last song and starts playing it.

By the way, especially for this column, I bought a flash drive with a minimum size. When connected, it practically does not stick out of the column.

Let's sum up. Pros:

  • Really powerful sound and deep bass
  • Playback from many audio sources
  • Separate volume buttons

Let's sum up. Minuses:

  • No charge indication. Unable to know how charged the battery is
  • After a volume level of 27 (out of 30), slight distortion appears.
