Product Insights

Tivoli Audio's Songbook Bluetooth Audio System revives the 2004 SongBook portable radio with a deliberate mono design and retro aesthetics inspired by 1970s/1990s industrial design and Dieter Rams minimalism, featuring high-gloss finishes, a flush metal handle, and perforated grilles. Despite dual grilles suggesting stereo, the mono driver with a dedicated subwoofer delivers full bass and direct sound ideal for outdoor use, while doubling as a practice guitar amp via a front-panel 1/4-inch input with 110k-ohm impedance and analog EQ. The analog-first philosophy eschews smart features and apps, using physical sliders for a three-band EQ applied by a 56-bit DSP with center detent. At $599 CAD—$150 less than the Max—it offers Bluetooth 5.3, a 10-hour battery, splash resistance, and 100-foot outdoor range, weighing 6.7 lbs with a folding handle, but lacks stereo pairing, radio, and digital display, and its plastic cabinet with metal grilles embodies a tradeoff for those seeking focused mono sound over the Max's stereo capabilities.
