preface
Watching Lei Feng.com and the trial circle is what makes @ Hearts rise. I am a real god. Every once in a while, I am envious. But I was forced by the late stage of cancer, so I didn't try until I saw the trial recruitment of Elvis Presley's Bluetooth speakers. The little prince's Bluetooth speaker has a solid wood shell, which is exquisite and retro in shape, gentle and elegant in temperament. It just meets my personal preference of becoming somewhat artless. The accessory is the accessory, not to say that men have to wear it, let alone really like it, and it is actually an FM radio! As soon as I talked about the radio, my good memories of growing up suddenly appeared. I will talk about this later. In short, it was love at first sight and I vowed to take it down. Here, I would like to thank Lei Feng.com for introducing the game of WeChat canvassing in addition to the traditional application method, which provides another possibility for Xiaobai test visitors like me to win. So, after filling in the application reasons, I began to canvass. On the one hand, I relied on the support of my relatives, friends and colleagues, and on the other hand, maybe the gods were all focused on big things. I actually canvassed the first thing in my life.
appearance
When I received the express, I was a little surprised. The package was quite casual, light in weight, and small in size. It was not as high-end and elegant as I thought. After opening it, there were only brown and yellow corrugated boxes, and the logo of Lei Feng's trial was pasted. The box changed shape during logistics. For one thing, the box was too ugly, and for another, I was afraid of damage inside, so I didn't take a picture of opening the box, It can be seen that the little prince speaker is tightly protected by a ring of foam plastics without any damage. There is also a black line for charging, AUX input and A4 printed instructions in the box. The package is very simple. After checking, it was known that the little prince speaker has not been publicly launched. No wonder.
Take out the little prince speaker, it's not long enough 10 cm, it looks very Q, some people describe it as Elvis Presley 2 desk radio, which has been dripping ant man potion, ha ha, who is so talented! Play for two days, let's take some photos first:
From the front, the Elvis Presley Little Prince's whole body walnut wood is hand polished through 27 processes. The panel is smooth, the corners are round, the color is as mild as the paste coating for years, the carving is clean and neat, and the process is excellent. The four audio openings are distributed in parallel. It looks like a layer of black woolen cloth inside to prevent dust and sundries from entering the box. The three knobs are made of black bakelite. The phenolic resin is hard enough. The radio knob and the transparent disc rotate together. The pointer is a thin red line on the disc. The channel meter marked with 88MHz~108MHz shows orange backlight when it is turned on, Create a quiet and distant atmosphere.
In the lower left corner is the carved Elvis logo and the English name The Little Prince. The texture is clear, the font is beautiful, and there is also a function indicator light. It is said that this is not an ordinary LED light, but a technology used in the 1950s. The vacuum tube is still a diode. This part does not need to be understood. Blue and white are displayed under the Bluetooth function, Orange is displayed when AUX is input, and green is displayed when channel is searched in radio mode.
At the lower right corner are the volume knob and function selection knob, which are also engraved with clear volume plus and minus symbols and Bluetooth, AUX, FM FM and OFF characters.
The neatly carved body lines can be seen on the box, so that the side of the box does not appear rigid.
The backplane is black, with product model, battery capacity and manufacturer information. Below is the jack for charging and AUX input. It is worth mentioning that the manufacturer Shenzhen Yundong Chuangxiang Technology Co., Ltd. is a company dedicated to the development of professional audio and high-end radio audio. His CEO Zeng Dejun has spent decades in the field of manual audio and radio, known as the "father of Chinese courage", It is he who, with his unyielding perseverance and the craftsman spirit of striving for perfection, polished this collection level radio full of literary and artistic feelings.
The JD crowdfunding page shows that in addition to walnut, Elvis Presley's little prince speakers are available in maple, cherry, mahogany and rosewood.
This is also the parameter description downloaded from the JD crowdfunding page. It shows that Elvis Presley is Bluetooth 4.0, has a 1000 mA battery, and has a maximum volume of 5 hours under Bluetooth. The test results are even better than this. Even if you can't charge when you go out, it is estimated that most of the time it will be enough. You can see the size. It's just Q
Bluetooth function
After turning the knob to turn on the Bluetooth function, the indicator light flashes blue and white light, and a "beep beep" sound is emitted to indicate that Bluetooth is on and can be detected. Then turn on Bluetooth on the mobile phone or computer, search for the device, and you can directly find the Chinese name of "Elvis Presley", then click pairing, and hear the Bluetooth speaker again emit a "beep" sound, It means that the pairing is successful, and the audio opened on the mobile phone or computer can be played through the little prince speaker. Elvis Presley's Bluetooth 4.0 is still very receptive. I can play it as usual when standing 8 meters away from the open with my mobile phone. The speaker is in the living room. When I go to the bathroom, I can still receive signals intermittently when there are two layers of barriers.
The blue and white indicator lights up when the Bluetooth speaker is playing.
AUX input function
Twist the knob to AUX mode, and the indicator light displays orange. At this time, insert one end of the built-in data cable into the USB/AUX input port on the back, and insert the headphone plug into any 3.5mm headphone hole, and Elvis Presley can play as an external speaker.
Elvis Presley is playing as an external speaker on the laptop.
Radio function
Turn the knob to FM mode, and turn the FM knob to find the channel between 88MHz and 108MHz. This channel range basically covers the main local radio stations and the relayed central radio stations, such as the Voice of China, the Voice of Music, etc. In the outdoor, basically all local FM stations can clearly receive, and some indoor channel signals are unstable and "wheezy" It needs to move to find the signal, but the performance is OK, enough.
The other important reason why I like Elvis Presley so much is that it is a radio. Everything related to radio in my growing up is very beautiful now.
When I was very young, my parents were busy working. I stayed at my grandmother's house. My grandfather had not retired at that time. One summer, we set a small table in the yard and listened to the radio while eating breakfast. I still didn't understand what the radio said. I only remembered that "The Central People's Broadcasting Station reports the time for you, beep beep beep...", Grandpa quickly raised his wrist to check its mechanical watch, and then listened to the weather forecast to see if he needed to bring an umbrella to work. In my impression, the female announcer of CCTV at that time was full of emotion and excitement, her voice was clear, loud and penetrating, which reminded me of the Korean TV anchor Li Chunji, who was worth ten divisions; When I was in primary school, I was not allowed to watch TV when I came home from school, but my parents didn't care about the radio. So I listened to the music station of Shanxi Literature and Art Radio every day to do my homework. As a result, I learned mediocrely and formed today's Maiba; In junior high school, I hid in the classroom with earphones and listened to the US attack on Iraq secretly. I listened to military experts analyze how inhumane it is for the US to use depleted uranium bombs, and how heavy bombs will damage the oil fields underground in the Middle East. Then the mainland "SARS" came, which seemed to be incurable, and made me worry about nothing for a long time; In high school, during the Athens Olympic Games, he stayed up at night to listen to the Chinese men's basketball team playing against Lithuania. Every time Yao Ming scored a goal, the whole dormitory could not help but roar under his throat; When I was in college, I had a restless time. One day, I couldn't sleep and played with the radio of CET-6. I accidentally found a radio column. I forgot the content. I only remember that the female anchor likes to laugh very much, and her laughter is not cutesy or wavy, warm and funny. I thought that the audience should also feel the warmth of the radio waves like me
charge
There is no charger in the Elvis Presley trial device, but the manual says that as long as the output is 5V, the charger larger than 0.5A can be used. I can use the 5V, 2A Xiaomi charger to fill it in more than an hour. There is a small led indicator on the left of the USB socket, which shows red when charging, and turns green when fully charged. It is very practical.
tone quality
Elvis Presley's voice quality can be regarded as competent whether it is in Bluetooth or radio status. The alto and bass are full of magnetism, and the treble is never bared. Because he doesn't know much, he doesn't say much. In short, no matter the sound quality or volume, people can't believe that such a small person has such great ability at home.
summary
In the era of rampant minimalism, shoddy manufacturing and hot and manic marketing, the appearance of Elvis Presley brings a taste of retro style. It is an artistic work created for us by a master with originality that can bring feelings, temperature and elegance.
Finally, I would like to thank Lei Feng.com and Yundong Chuangxiang Technology for providing valuable trial opportunities and evaluating their debut show. Please correct the shortcomings. Thank you!
