“Since its introduction last year, the Newport continues to be a brisk seller through our website, ” says Kenji Kawaguchi, Founder and CEO, OC Acoustic. “I think of it as the next chapter in the OC Acoustic story, with the addition of World Wide Stereo and Listen Up as retail partners expanding our reach to a significantly wider market of music fans and audio enthusiasts.”
​
World Wide Stereo is an award-winning residential technology integration firm with two premium retail showrooms in the Philadelphia area and an ecommerce experience shipping nationwide. Similarly, ListenUp, based in Colorado, is famous for being passionate about the latest, most innovative electronics, and about designing and implementing the best performing systems.
OC Acoustic’s Newport 2” speaker is housed in a 3.62” x 2.48” x 3.35” enclosure that nearly disappears. Though compact, the Newport pumps out a powerful sound for such a small speaker, thanks to countless hours of research and fine-tuning that results in sonics that contradicts its small form factor.
Mr. Kawaguchi designed the Newport plug-in speaker as a convenient and affordable approach to replacing expensive, unsightly wall-mount and tabletop speakers with a product that is wire-free and clutter-free, and always on. Bluetooth 5.1 ensures maximum reception range with multiple connections.
A “Party Mode” makes it easy to spread the music across multiple speakers with a push of a button. Up to 50 speakers can be added to the single stream, if they are within range and sight of the source’s Bluetooth transmitter. The Newport Plug-in speaker is available in four appealing color combinations: orange/black, charcoal gray/black, light gray/white, and champagne/white. The suggested retail price is $79.99.
