Tech: AIAIA UNIT-4 Wireless Studio Monitors

Via Design Milk:

For many years studio monitors were equipment mostly outside the realm of the average person – specialized speakers primarily for audio engineers working inside a studio environment used to fine tune a track/score at very close listening distance. But with the evolution of individual artists producing their own music from their own homes (i.e. Soundcloud musicians), monitors have become more commonly found in bedrooms and home studios. Swedish audio specialists AIAIAI designed the UNIT-4 monitors to cater to these homegrown music creators, a new generation who might benefit from speakers they can lean into while fine tuning their tracks, but can also be taken out into the wild wirelessly to share the fruits of their labor.

The UNIT-4s are completely battery-powered, and operate up to 20 hours of playback between charges. Weighing just a little over 5.5-lbs each, the UNIT-4 is significantly lighter and physically manageable to lug around compared to the traditionally cumbersome and boxy studio monitor.
