As a post-80s generation, music has accompanied us for more than 30 years. Music carries different carriers and has been growing with us.

The rambler speaker recently launched an intelligent cloud speaker MA5 with Alibaba Cloud ecosystem. So, how does this speaker perform in terms of actual experience? Now, let's have a look~

Unpacking

The moment I just got the Walkman speaker, I was attracted by the package with enough weight. A huge white box with a handle style was full of weight, completely overturning my previous perception of portable speakers, which made me very eager to open it to see her face. The front of the packing box is printed with a one-to-one live picture of MA5, the English logo of Pacers and the product logo of MA5 are printed on the upper left of the box, and the words "Bluetooth" and "WiFi" are printed on the upper right, indicating that this is a wireless speaker that supports both Bluetooth and WiFi wireless standards.

In addition to the live front view of the product printed on the back, the detailed parameters of the product are indicated on the left side in detail.

The handle is located on the top of the packing box. Because the speaker really has enough weight, as a fat paper person, I would like to praise such a careful design. The product manager is very careful.

Ok, open the package and carefully take out the MA5 and the attached product accessories in turn. MA5 is sandwiched between two layers of foam board, which plays a very firm role in fixing. The outer layer of the speaker is also wrapped with a cloth bag to prevent dust from entering by mistake. The package is so exquisite that people can't help holding their breath.

The rambler ma5 is very rich in accessories. In addition to this huge ma5, rambler also comes with a small infrared remote control, power adapter, power cable, AUX audio cable, and optical fiber coaxial line with better audio quality output.

At the first sight, the stroller MA5 was attracted by this strange appearance. It looks more like a flying saucer than a sound box. Its round and smooth body is matched with two eye like speaker units in the front. The shape is so beautiful that people dare not look at it. I want to hear how the sound quality of this monster from outer space shows.

This MA5 is a portable Bluetooth WiFi wireless speaker. It is round and smooth in shape, like a spaceship in outer space. The classic scarlet and cool black color match make it look beautiful and attractive. If you think that it is just a show, then you are wrong at the beginning. The sound quality of the Pacer MA5 is the same as that of the Pacer family speakers.

There are two 19MM tweeters on the front of the speaker, two 3-inch concave embossed PP basin mid bass units on the edges of both sides, and four 3-inch passive units in the gap on the back. More than one sound generating unit of the rambler MA5 is supported by round cavity resonance, and the interactive design of passive integrated audio makes it have a very impressive and exciting sound quality performance.

The surface of the MA5 box is treated with bright colored light, which makes it more beautiful and eye-catching under the light, and it is not easy to leave fingerprints after being touched by fingers. On the top of the MA5 speaker, there are touch buttons for controlling the speaker, including the traditional on/off button, play/pause button, volume increase/decrease button, up and down song switch button, as well as the Red Heart Collection track button and voice on demand control button. In WiFi mode, you can quickly collect your favorite songs through the Favorites key; Click the voice key to call out the music or singer you want to listen to to the speaker, MA5 will quickly help you find the songs you want to listen to, which is very powerful.

There is a circular LED screen on the front of the speaker, which can display the current playing mode, music titles and signal strength of the speaker on a small screen, so that the operation of the speaker is not cold and fresh.

In addition to the four 3-inch passive units mentioned above on the back of the speaker, all the interfaces of the speaker are set below it, and the MA5 interface is set with a 3.5mm audio input interface and a fiber input interface. These two wired access modes can be switched through the attached remote control. In addition to supporting two wired speaker outputs, MA5 also supports WiFi and Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth connection mode must be familiar to everyone. Later, we will focus on how to use speakers in WiFi mode.

Connect the loudspeaker through 3.5mm interface

Access the speaker through optical fiber interface

The bottom of the speaker is printed with the relevant parameters of the product, up to 20V-2.75A of high current input, ensuring the normal operation of the speaker.

The rambler MA5 uses wired power supply, and does not support built-in mobile power supply.

The attached infrared remote control can quickly switch between different speaker playing modes through the buttons below the remote control. There are five common play buttons on the top of the remote control, including up and down song switch, volume increase and decrease, and play pause button. And the top is also provided with a switch key. The material of aluminum alloy makes it very textured when held in the palm.

Experience

The wired access modes mentioned above, including AUX access and optical fiber access, will not be repeated here. For the wireless connection mode, Bluetooth connection must be familiar to everyone. Next, we will focus on experiencing the WiFi mode of the rambler MA5. First, power on the rambler MA5, touch the switch button with the remote control or body, and switch the speaker to WiFi mode. The first time you connect to WiFi, you need to pair speakers for networking.

The mobile phone scans the package QR code, downloads the Alibaba Smart Home app, logs in to your Taobao account, and then places the mobile phone and speaker in the same WiFi space. Click the speaker switch button to switch to WiFi mode. Click the "+" button on the top right side of the home page to add new devices, and select the adding method. We can select the method of scanning the QR code to add, scan the QR code at the bottom of the speaker, and enter the page of setting the Pacer MA5. As shown below:

Next, follow the prompts, enter the WiFi password, wait a few seconds, and the page prompts that the device was successfully added. At this time, the WiFi connection is completed. Next time, open the WiFi speaker, and the default connection will be automatic. Very convenient, do you understand?

After the successful connection of speakers, we can see the strong music ecology benefited from Ali's ecology. Here, the rambler ma5 can play a large number of resources from Xiami Music, Douban FM, Himalayan FM, Dragonfly FM, etc. In the music playing interface, you can control the volume of speakers, music on demand, search and other functions through the app. You can also click Favorites to collect your favorite music to your music collection, subscribe to your favorite music radio stations and other rich and interesting control modes.

Subjective experience of sound quality

From the moment I just got the speaker, it was enough to make the author covet its sound quality. So, in terms of audition, this speaker really lived up to my expectations.

From the audition of "Ferry" by Cai Qin, Pacer MA5 makes Cai Qin's full and transparent baritone interpretation as if it were on the spot, just like Cai Qin whispering softly in front of the audience, with clear breath lip sounds, which can dive deeply and make people feel exciting. The overall feeling is 9.5 points.

If you use it to watch movies, I believe that you will fall in love with every movie, turn up the voice, and let the music brought by Dongci take away all your troubles. Two concave embossed PP basin mid bass units make the transition between mid frequency, low frequency and high frequency very smooth and natural.

In a word, the sound quality of this speaker is still difficult to meet in 1000 yuan speakers.

However, the MA5 is not without shortcomings. Compared with other voice control focused WiFi speakers, Alibaba Smart App is still slightly inadequate in terms of voice control. In terms of speech recognition rate, it is very ordinary, and sometimes misbroadcast occurs.

In addition, the MA5 does not support the built-in power supply, which also limits the demand for outdoor auditions. If the built-in power supply can be added, it will be more perfect.
