The We Are Rewind Curtis Boombox GB-001 isn't just a cassette player/recorder that rivals home cassette decks—it also delivers exceptional stereo sound with a full-spectrum stereo image, thanks to its separate left and right woofers and tweeters.
Whether you're listening to cassettes, using a wired connection, or streaming via Bluetooth, its four Hi-fi class loudspeakers (two powerful woofers for extended bass response and two soft dome tweeters for refined voices and treble) provide an impressive 104 Watts of total power output. That's enough to compete with the best connected speakers available.
But power is nothing without control. That's why we've included special features like dynamic power control to reduce distortion, refined equalisation for a natural “We Are Rewind” sound signature, and a spatialisation function for a wider, more immersive stereo experience.
