Bayan Audio’s New SoundScene Portable Speaker Brings Brilliant Sound Outdoors

TORONTO, June 30, 2015 ­ Bayan Audio, the British audio brand dedicated to fusing unparalleled acoustic performance with superb design, is kicking off the summer season with the introduction of its new weatherproof SoundScene portable outdoor speaker. This wireless stereo speaker is equipped to withstand the elements thanks to its sturdy, splash-proof exterior so exceptional sound can be enjoyed indoors and outdoors. Building on the success of Bayan Audio’s award-winning Soundbook line, the SoundScene is the latest addition to Bayan Audio’s expanding range of portable Bluetooth speakers. It is available this week for US$199.99 / CAD$249.99 per unit at retailers across North America and on Bayan Audio’s website.

A unique, wireless, portable sound system

When it comes to enjoying music, sometimes one speaker simply isn’t enough. Every SoundScene speaker is able to connect to others, so one speaker can be used to enjoy music in a small space, then linked wirelessly to another for a larger area, creating an expandable sound system. The SoundScene speakers link together via radio frequency, meaning there is no need for any additional equipment, cables or apps – simply press one button and you have total flexibility to add or remove speakers. Plus, the SoundScene can run on its rechargeable battery, or while connected to AC power.

Once linked, SoundScene speakers can be positioned up to 30m (100 ft.) from the transmitting speaker ­ whether it’s across the backyard, the home, or the dock ­ without any distortion. As many contemporary homes now enjoy open plan living spaces, several SoundScene speakers can be arranged in this space to create an easy-to-use wireless speaker system. The volume level can also be adjusted for each speaker individually, so whether they are used for a relaxed garden party or a lively summer barbeque with friends, the listening level will be comfortable and balanced across the whole area.

As with Bayan Audio’s Soundbook line of portable Bluetooth speakers, the drivers in the SoundScene are custom designed for their specific enclosure. This provides the best sound quality from this durable outdoor speaker.

Simple connectivity

SoundScene makes it easy to connect with the music you love, wherever you like to enjoy it. Simply stream music from a Smartphone or tablet to the SoundScene in seconds and enjoy up to eight hours of continuous play. Each SoundScene speaker is designed to produce 20W of stereo sound, meaning whether they’re linked together or enjoyed individually, listeners will experience an all-encompassing soundscape. The speakers can be unlinked at any time and used as individual speakers once again. Each speaker can be connected to a different device, so if the party gets larger, one guest can enjoy their music on the deck while another guest can select their favourite music in the kitchen, allowing total flexibility.

Elemental indoors and out

Thanks to its rugged, weather-resistant design, SoundScene can withstand anything from a rain shower to a splash from the pool. The unit is fully sealed with silicone rubber caps to give the SoundScene its water-resistant design. While the SoundScene has been tuned to deliver the best sound quality outdoors, its contemporary design makes it the perfect addition to any interior living space as well. SoundScene moves easily between the garden and inside the home, making it the perfect music system not just for summer but also all year-round.

Prash Vadgama, CEO of Bayan Audio, says ‘With SoundScene we wanted to create a product with the ability to connect more than one speaker together in a simple and uncomplicated way. SoundScene is a customizable hybrid system, as it offers the benefits of portability and the link-ability of multiple speakers.’

SoundScene is available in Silver/Grey and also offers a power charging port to charge a Smartphone or MP3 player straight from the product. For added flexibility, listeners can also plug their music device into the SoundScene speaker via the 3.5mm auxiliary port if they do not have a Bluetooth-enabled device.
