Legendary guitar and amp manufacturer Fender is branching out with a new line of Bluetooth speakers inspired by the designs of their ’68 Custom amplifiers. The initial release includes two different speakers that pair old school cool like witch-hat knobs and control labels with new tech like aptX / AAC codec support for crystal clear wireless sound even during phone calls. The travel-friendly Newport is a 30-watt Bluetooth speaker with a tri-driver system composed of two woofers and one tweeter that’s easy to take on the go and has a built-in battery that can also be used to charge your phone. The stay at home Monterey is a 120-watt Bluetooth speaker with a quad-driver (two woofers, two tweeters) system built in a wooden enclosure like Fender’s legendary amps that also includes RCA auxiliary in jacks if you want to hook up a preamp-equipped device like a turntable. Whether you want a display piece for home or something to take on the road, Fender has a bluetooth speaker that will take your listening experience to 11.
