"Once there was a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regret it when I lost it". This is Stephen Chow's line, and also my feeling about the changes in speaker design. Looking at the existence value of most speakers today is to play music. There are few speakers that can make people take "shape" seriously. They want to be a speaker with "cherish memories" Our speakers should stand the double test of shape design and sound quality performance.

Maoking has reshaped the new image of retro radio. Last March, it launched a collection radio called Tesslor, which has successfully entered the eyes of users. Half a year later, it launched a "reduced version" of Tesslor radio called Little Prince. Perhaps its inspiration comes from the famous French book "The Little Prince". In the world of the little prince, there is "no hatred, no greed, no blindness". It is expressed with very pure music, and the pursuit of freedom and returning to nature. This may be Elvis Presley's original intention, and also Elvis Presley's founder, Mr. Zeng Dejun's original intention.

The material I got from Elvis Presley and the Little Prince was pure handmade walnut, and the package was marked with this detail. Not only was the product named "Little Prince", but the package box was also a portrait in the beautiful "Little Prince" movie. There was also a letter from the little prince on BB612, which said: "After you receive me, fill me up with electricity and use it again", So this is a note for use of paper.

The accessories of Little Prince are more complete than ordinary radio speakers, including host * 1, data cable * 1, AUX cable * 1, USB antenna * 1, exquisite cloth bag * 1, brand related * 1, product use matters * 1, and a note for Little Prince version.

Small and retro aesthetics

This is the first hand made Walnut speaker I have ever used. The light wood is delicate and fragrant. The kiss has remained unforgettable since the box was opened. The smooth feel of the wood is just like what a brand said: "It's really cool. There is no screw opening on the body of Little Cat King. The real wood makes its shell not flawless.", The way of "square in the arc" draws on the popular style of radio in the 1930s, and the little prince's retro aesthetics is put on the coffee shop, which does not violate the sense of harmony.

Elvis Presley, also known as "FM/Bluetooth portable speaker", is the smallest speaker I have ever seen, so the portability brought by the mini shape is the production positioning of the little prince. Even the short skirt bag can be stuffed into it, and it can be carried freely without even carrying a bag for storage. The little prince with trouser pockets is a space saving retro "furniture".

Let's take a look at the appearance details of Elvis Presley and the Little Prince. The design of the sound box pattern can be called "three lines in one". The upper part is three lines, and the lower part is one line, which adds natural lines to the monotonous wood style. At the same time, the design layout is directly defined as the speaker hole+dial tuning knob in the upper part, LOGO in the lower left corner of the lower part, status light, volume and mode knob, An organized design approach.

The loudspeakers seen on the market are mostly circular horn shaped ones. Elvis Presley Little Prince is different from ordinary loudspeakers. The slot size of the speaker's voice hole is the same, and the built-in black fiber cloth dust cover makes the sound hole flat as a whole. Small debris can be easily inverted. In fact, this is the characteristic design of the little prince with retro beauty.

The retro aesthetics does not just stay on the appearance. The silent dial lights up the dim warm light in any state when the machine is turned on. This is a kind of "old" taste, which is like the retro radio on TV. Of course, this is not a simple decoration, it is also the adjustment pointer of radio frequency in FM mode.

Relevant information is marked on the back of the little prince. The lower left corner is the USB/AUX interface. When charging, the red indicator light is charging, and the green indicator light is full. The little prince's back still has no screw hole, which is simple and does not touch fingerprints. A phase inversion hole is set on the right side of the back, which is helpful to the low-frequency capability. The little prince's basic speaker standard configuration is really complete.

Four rubber anti slip pads were set at the bottom of the little prince, which slightly increased the height of the little prince. The wooden bottom was not easy to wear. From the bottom, we found the mystery of the hole opening method. The holes of the whole machine were set inside the anti slip pad to hide the screw holes, so that the appearance of the little prince was unified and not blind.

The Little Prince is a line of English beside Elvis Presley's logo, which is also called "Little Prince". Next, we will enter into the function theme of Little Prince.

Fully functional antenna baby is visual

Elvis Presley's FM radio function gets rid of the constraints of the built-in antenna, but the antenna is extremely useful when the environment is complex and the area is remote, so Elvis Presley has separately set a detachable USB antenna for the little prince. After adding, the radio signal is significantly enhanced, and the radio is normal from 87 Hz to 107 Hz. After plugging in, the little prince becomes an antenna baby, namely, visual, There is a sense of cuteness.

Elvis Presley's little prince is equipped with AUX cable as standard. When using it, make sure to select AUX mode as the mode. With this function, the speaker can be connected to mobile phones, computers, players and other devices. The application of this function is the condition for the little prince to become a home speaker. In fact, the little prince is applicable to a wide range of people. The young people mainly use Bluetooth/AUX, while the elderly can use FM radio, and the appearance is acceptable.

The mode indicator is located at the lower left corner of the speaker. When the mode is switched, the indicator will display in different colors. When Bluetooth is connected, the indicator is white; The indicator light is red in AUX mode; In FM radio mode, the indicator light is green. Because the color of LED differs greatly from that of wood red, the mode indicator light is very conspicuous, which is helpful for more intuitive viewing. It is carefully designed.

Sound quality is good

The appearance of Elvis Presley and the Little Prince is retro, but it does not mean that the sound quality is backward. If you have a little understanding of Elvis Presley's background, you should know that the founder, Mr. Zeng Dejun, is one of the pioneers of Hi Fi sound in China. He has rich experience in the regulation of music sound effects. The little prince is less than the size of a palm, and still adds the inverted hole design, which is really worth looking forward to.

To experience the sound quality of the Little Prince, I chose Bluetooth mode and lossless music for audition. Every time I heard my favorite song, "The Meaning of Travel", I was quite impressed. When I opened my mouth, I could hear the sweet and clear bass of Cheer Chen, and the low-frequency voice processing was very comfortable. Later, I chose Xiaoxiao's Passing the Coffee House, which is a popular version of the cooker. The male voice has a good sense of middle and high frequency, sufficient reverberation, and low detail distortion. Such a small volume has strong analytical power, which can show the feeling of HiFi music. After listening to the vocal music, choose a musical instrument music "Living in America". The whole sound is easy and pleasant, but the small volume limits the little prince's sound field. The first feeling is that the little prince's sound quality is transparent, and the expressive force is more inclined to the warm color of the voice. The beat and voice are advantages.

epilogue

The retro aesthetics has not lost. The convenience brought by the small size and dexterity is felt on Elvis Presley. Even if the retro shell is put into an "empty shell", it is also a beautiful and decent handicraft. In my opinion, the applicable scenarios of the little prince can be the decoration in the store, or the home speaker, the small speaker for sending the elderly to listen to FM radio, and the small speaker for memory, In a word, Elvis Presley and the Little Prince: "Form is traditional, and sound is extreme".
