MINIRIG 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

The midrange is where the Mini performs best; playing Californiaby Grimes the Mini recreates her breathy vocals quite clearly and with a good amount of detail.

Enjoying music with friends is something we try and encourage, so why not linkup and make the gathering into a PARTY! What makes the Mini difficult to recommend, however, is that some (admittedly larger but still very portable) rivals have both significantly better audio quality and greater versatility.Its body is made of anodised aluminum, available in a range of colours, which Minirig says is splash resistant.

Everyone loves bass, we decided to take the Subwoofer to the next step, rather than the old 30 watts of power it now has 40 watts of power! Yes, the Wonderboom is bigger than the Minirig Mini - it's about twice the size, in fact - but it is still very small in its own right and is certainly very portable.

jacks on the Mini – one for low gain, one for high gain – so you can get the most out of a wider range of sources. Using the latest technology and high quality design we bring to you the MINIRIG 3 bluetooth rechargeable speaker. Minirig claims you’ll get approximately ten hours of battery life from the speaker before it needs charging again, with a full charge taking two to three hours. At the beginning of the song, her lyrics are front and centre, but when they take a backseat, becoming echoey and open, the Mini conveys the change well. We’d like more texture to each instrument, so this speaker can really show off the shimmer of cymbals or the throbs of bass guitars.

Playing Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus In The Underworld, the trills towards the end of the score – contrasted against quieter, smoother notes – sound restrained, rather than leaping up to propel the song towards its exciting climax. You can also connect the speaker over its Bluetooth connection, and to its credit, the Minirig Mini is aptX compatible with ‘CD-like’ 16-bit/44. They have an unnaturally coarse cutting edge to them, which leaves you recoiling a little at each draw of the violin’s bow. In short, we think that someone eyeing-up the Minirig Mini could and should also consider the Wonderboom, and the latter finds a sweeter spot between size and sound quality. Eventually, the company moved into the world of audio, resulting in the first Minirig, a portable sound system, being developed around seven years ago.

The Minirig Mini is an interesting proposition: the stark design will be appreciated by some, its small stature will be attractive to the space-conscious, and the sound is solid. The app lets you pair it to another Minirig speaker (in stereo or mono configurations), as well as managing playback and giving you access to a mute button.

Its parent company, Pasce originally started as a group of engineering sub-contractors developing underwater robotics, sonar, high-voltage industrial equipment and audio tech, among other things.All this works relatively well, and although the app isn’t quite as stylish as some of those from rival companies, it is very straightforward. There’s also a fair amount of punch in the bass, which means the deep, weighty, booms that kick the song into action are given their due – thumping their way into our medium-sized testing room with gusto.
