The brand of rambler must be very familiar to friends who love music and like to pursue ultimate sound effects. In the eyes of many people, rambler is synonymous with high-quality speakers, including myself. As a loyal fan of rambler for many years, Long ago when I first got to know the speaker, I was attracted by the wonderful sound it brought. The first thing I thought of when I changed the speaker product at home was the pacer. With the advent of the intelligent era, the Internet has added wings to the development of speaker products, and various smart speakers have emerged one after another. As a leading brand in the speaker industry, Pacer certainly does not want to lag behind, and has launched this Pacer Smart Cloud Audio MA5, which performs well in terms of appearance, sound effect and control. Now let's follow the writer to enjoy its style!

Unpacking accessories

The outer package of the rambler MA5 smart cloud speaker box is very beautiful. The white background reflects the dazzling MA5 like aliens. The rambler logo in the upper left corner is also absolutely high. The lower left corner of the box is printed with Alibaba Smart QR code, highlighting the intelligent attributes of this speaker box.

As a longtime fan of the rambler speaker, I was very excited when I got this box. Thank you very much here Love to play computer games Excellent product trial experience opportunities provided.

The basic parameters and detailed information of the product are printed on the back of the package, and there is also a large MA5 portrait beside it. Just seeing such a fashionable and personalized appearance, you can't help but unpack. The top right corner of the back shows the types of devices supported by the speakers, including mobile phones, tablets, computers, MACBOOK, TV and other terminal platforms.

The opening of the MA5 packing box is sealed with the special sealing sticker of the merchant to ensure that the product is unopened genuine! Tear off the sealing sticker and open the packing box to see the details listed in the packing list printed on the right side.

The interior is divided into two parts, namely, the accessory box and the speaker host. The host is fastened up and down by two huge plastic foams, and the speaker is also wrapped in a white bag, which is very well protected, effectively preventing bumps during transportation, and protecting the speaker intact!

The accessories of the rambler MA5 mainly include remote control, AUX cable, optical cable, power cable, manual, warranty card and a piece of black cleaning cloth.

The remote control is very small and exquisite. It uses a silver frame and black buttons to match with each other. It is extremely small and thin. The main buttons are the On key, the volume track control key, and the bottom three mode keys. You can choose four different playback modes at will, including Bluetooth, WIFI, AUX/OPT. There is a round battery cover behind the remote control, which can be unscrewed with a one yuan coin to replace the battery if necessary.

The work of the power adapter and other cables is very good, and the reserved length is also very long. The output of the power adapter is 20V/2.75A, and the size and appearance are very similar to that of the notebook power adapter. As a speaker that must be plugged in, longer power cables and AUX cables are very necessary. In addition, the manual of MA5 introduces a series of operating knowledge such as product functions, networking and control in detail.

Appearance function

As a 1000 yuan product, the Manpacer Smart Cloud Speaker MA5 is much smaller than the general big speakers, but its volume and quality are still relatively large, and it is very difficult to take it out of the box.

Although I have seen many live pictures of the product before I got the product, when the real machine was taken out, its excellent appearance design and workmanship still gave me a big surprise. The whole speaker was oval in shape, similar to an alien spaceship. In fact, a closer look at the alien ET, which is more like a big eye, is full of science fiction, and it is particularly dazzling no matter where it is placed.

There are a variety of colors to choose from for the Manpacer Smart Cloud Speaker MA5. What I got is a bright red version, which is very festive and grand. At the same time, red is also the main color of the product. The whole top and side are made of red mirror material, which is very bright. While pleasing, cleaning and care are also more troublesome, and it is easier to get fingerprints and dust. Compared with ordinary speakers at the same price, this product is much smaller in size, 319mm wide, 121mm high and 218mm deep, but its compact body can emit infinite energy.

MA5 uses touch sensitive function keys, all of which are concentrated on the top of the speaker, and there are two rows of 9 keys in total. The first row of 4 keys from left to right are respectively the switch on/off key/audio source switch key, wifi channel switch key, network connection disconnection/favorite track key, voice on demand key; The five in the second row are volume down, volume up, previous track, pause/mute, and next track. The integrated touch button can not only bring a very comfortable operating experience, but also greatly improve the beauty and integrity of the product, making the product more natural and attractive.

The front of the speaker box includes two large medium and low frequency units and two small high frequency units. In the middle of the speaker box is a circular display screen and microphone. The four sound units on the front are the top priority of the rambler MA5. The whole MA5 has eight sound units, and the front has two 19mm silk film dome tweeters The combination of two concave embossed PP basin mid bass units and four 3-inch passive units at the back can create a very powerful and huge sound field, bringing unparalleled shock sound effects and hearing enjoyment.

Not only is the sound effect shocking, but the front design of the Pacer MA5 is also a breakthrough in aesthetics. The two middle and low frequency generating units are like two big black eyes, looking at you with a big oval head like ET. It can give you a dreamy feeling.

The English brand logo of EDIFIER is printed on the top of the circular screen in the middle. The small circular screen also has a very good display effect. The light green font is very clear. The screen can display the current operating status and playing mode of the speaker. The playing content can also be displayed when WIFI is playing. The drawback is that the lyrics cannot be displayed.

Behind the MA5 is an arc shaped strip with a concave back. There are four passive units hidden inside. Together with the four sound generating units in front, they create a perfect and powerful sound field. From the perspective of appearance, this design is also good. It is more harmonious with the whole. However, the concave part is deep, and it is difficult to clean the dust that will accumulate over time.

Below the four passive units is the interface area of the speaker. From left to right, there are AUX interface, optical fiber input interface and power interface. This design can well hide the cable and ensure the overall beauty of the product. However, it is difficult to find the interface when inserting the cable. The best way is to put the speaker face down, as shown in the above figure, At this time, the two red metal rings at the front end can be put into use, which can support the speaker stably and will not overturn easily.

The base design of the rambler MA5 is also very reasonable. The round chassis and rubber material can firmly fix the base and the ground. The speaker is very stable on the desktop. When moving, it will not scratch the desktop. It is a humanistic design. However, as a speaker that supports Bluetooth, it is a pity that there is neither battery nor memory card slot.

Operation experience

As a new smart speaker, the rambler MA5 supports voice search, intelligent playback and other very convenient user-friendly playback experiences. However, to achieve the above functions, you need to use the APP to set up and network, so first you need to download the Alibaba smart APP that works with rambler, which can be downloaded by scanning or searching in the app store, Next, we will introduce the settings and use of Alibaba Smart APP, as well as the networking and playing of speakers.

Alibaba Smart APP is a smart APP product that covers a wide range of areas. It can be bound with various types of smart devices and managed. The advantage is that it is convenient to integrate the management together. The disadvantage is that it is too complicated, and it is not as convenient and smooth to use as a single APP.

After downloading the APP, click the Add Device option on the top right corner of the device page, select the audio category, find our rambler MA5 and make a selection. The next step is to pair and network speakers together, described by the following small steps.

Rambler Smart Cloud Audio MA5 WIFI connection and play

When networking, follow the prompts of the mobile phone APP. Long press the top heart key and release the speaker after hearing the start of network configuration. The process may last for 1-3 minutes, prompting you to pay attention to the dynamics on the mobile phone. Click Next to enter the WIFI password. After a moment of hearing the prompt tone of successful networking, the surface will complete pairing and networking operations.

There are two ways to operate WIFI online play, one is to operate the App for on-demand play, the other is to switch channels on the speakers or listen to your favorite content through voice commands. Click the WIFI channel switch button on the speakers to switch. The default channels include radio stations, music collections, listening at random and other modes, which can also be customized according to your preferences.

The app has rich content resources, such as Xiami Music, Douban FM, Himalayan FM, etc., and can be synchronized with Taobao accounts. If users have used these music apps before, they can also directly synchronize with the original data.

The system provides a large number of music recommendations, radio stations and other music stations, which can be rich in options. However, compared with professional music APP, the operating experience still needs to be improved.

With regard to voice control, voice control is also the unique feature of this stroller smart speaker, which provides more options for speaker control, greatly facilitating the user's operating experience. Just press the voice key to speak the songs you want to hear into the microphone below the speaker, but there are also some shortcomings, such as a high failure rate of voice control, There are few controllable contents of voice commands. Compared with Jingdong's DINGDONG, there is an obvious gap. The author suggests that the rambler can also work with Jingdong and iFLYTEK to comprehensively improve the accuracy and playability of voice control.

The remote control operation is another highlight of such a rambler MA5. It is more practical, stable and convenient than voice control. It is very easy to switch volume, switch songs or select modes. The control distance is also far, It is suggested that voice control can be integrated into the remote control like LeEco Super Remote Control, and the operating experience of the whole speaker, especially the voice control experience, can be comprehensively improved.

In addition, among the various connection methods supported by speakers, the author mostly uses Bluetooth connection. In the actual experience, Bluetooth connection is very fast and plays smoothly. However, the effective distance of Bluetooth seems to be a little short, which is inferior to the connection distance of the author's Bluetooth speakers. I hope it can be improved.

Sound quality experience

After a period of experience, the soul of the speaker is the sound quality. In any case, the most important thing for the speaker is the sound quality. Other controls and resources exist for better sound quality experience. In this respect, the rambler has never let people down. The same is true of the MA5.

Rambler Smart Cloud Audio MA5 Music Play Display

Thanks to the high specification acoustic configuration and the strong accumulation of Pacer in the acoustic field, the sound quality of Pacer's smart cloud speaker MA5 is excellent, and the volume control range is between 0 and 60. In terms of actual performance, the bass is thick and full, steady and powerful, touching the nerves, and the performance is beyond expectations; In terms of treble, it is clear, transparent and direct to the heart, and can perfectly express all kinds of music. However, compared with the ultra-high performance of bass, the treble performance is slightly lower; At the same time, the high and low pitch conversion is smooth and free, which can bring users immersive hearing enjoyment. After this period of time, rock DJ、 After the bombardment of various forms of popular music and various Hollywood blockbusters, the author was very satisfied with the sound quality performance of Pacer MA5. As such a small 1000 yuan speaker, it is rare, and it also gives full play to Pacer's acoustic strength.

Summary and evaluation

As the latest 1000 yuan smart cloud speaker launched by Rambler, the Rambler Smart Cloud Audio MA5 is commendable in terms of sound quality performance, control experience, design and workmanship, and hardware configuration. Although it is not very mature in voice control and other aspects, its flaws do not hide its flaws. The author has gained a very good experience in using it during this period, especially the sound quality performance exceeded expectations, It will be great to watch blockbusters and listen to music in the future!
