A neat Bluetooth speaker with top quality components at its core, the Monitor Audio Airstream S150 offers a winning formula.
Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX for high quality music streaming
Using Bluetooth 4.0 aptX gives the Airstream S150 near CD quality sound. Compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs, the S150 is the ideal way to free your stored music. It's also the perfect way to listen to streaming music services like Spotify, using your existing smartphone or tablet as the source.
Hi-Fi quality speakers
When it comes to sound quality, the Monitor Audio Airstream S150 shows its hi-fi heritage. As you'd expect from this world renowned speaker manufacturer, the drive units are top notch. With a C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium) gold tweeter, the S150 offers an extended frequency response for more treble clarity than rival speakers. Similarly, twin C-CAM 3" bass drivers produce a deep yet precise bass and mid-range.
Punchy bass
To give a bit of extra fire power, the S150 is also fitted with a passive bass radiator. This enhances the bass to great effect, without the need for extra power consumption and cost.
Dedicated amplifiers
For the ultimate in speaker control, each drive unit is driven by a dedicated digital amplifier. With 15 watts per bass unit and 10 watts to the tweeter, a total power output of 40 watts is on hand to give effortless, room-filling sound.
Advanced DSP
Making sure that you get the best sound from your S150, Monitor Audio has fitted an advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). The DSP ties everything together and optimises the sound quality. Fine tuning all aspects of sound quality, it ensures that the S150 sounds its best, wherever it's placed and whatever it's playing. The high quality DAC is essential in offering a highly articulate and crystal clear sound.
Compact and flexible
With a footprint that's little larger than a Blu-ray case, the S150 fits in just about anywhere. Thanks to a UNC thread you can even mount it on a wall with a universal bracket, such as the Monitor Audio MASM. As you'd expect from this highly regarded speaker manufacturer, build quality is exceptionally good, with a fine finish throughout.
Neat and compact but with a true hi-fi soul, the Airstream S150 is the Bluetooth speaker for those who demand the best.
