Introduction

AUDIOCASE is a brand new company based out of Copenhagen, Denmark. The company has just launched their first-ever product, and it is quite a feat. Their briefcase-sized speaker packs four drivers and two passive radiators. The company's goal is to provide a solidly performing, durable speaker that is capable of powering a party for roughly a day.

The design approach is different than what we are used to. The enclosure looks like a briefcase-sized flight case complete with bulky edge protectors and a rugged handle, despite not weighing a lot.

AUDIOCASE wants to be that one speaker that sounds great while providing a good size-per-power ratio. As it is right now, there is no app and no fuzz - you just connect via Bluetooth 4.2 and enjoy. Price-wise, the AUDIOCASE is in the expensive category at US$602 / €537 / kr3995.

The driver configuration is quite uncommon. Using two relatively large mid-woofers along with two tweeters is a bit special since you would usually have a dedicated midrange driver to bridge the gap. Considering the area the drivers occupy, it is pretty amazing that they managed to fit these inside a case of relatively modest dimensions.
