BenQ Ships treVolo, the World’s First Electrostatic Bluetooth Speaker

benq-trevolo-1214BenQ America entered the audio market today with their new treVolo, the company’s first audiophile-grade Bluetooth speaker. BenQ’s treVolo portable speaker uses electrostatic technology to provide the overall tonal balance that BenQ says was previously only available on high-end, floor-standing speakers. And, the speaker features dual woofers with dual passive radiators — something most small speakers don’t have.

Available in silver or black, treVolo features collapsible wings and they’re all painted with an anodized metal finish. One interesting business features is the addition of a speakerphone function with noise-cancelling microphone.

treVolo features three preset audio profile modes to generate unique electrostatic sound signatures that optimize any type of music. BenQ describes the three modes: “Using its “Pure” default mode, treVolo provides balanced tonal accuracy with minimal equalization to maintain a song’s natural detail. For a softer sound experience, the device’s “Warm” mode generates a more traditional Bluetooth speaker sound with emphasis on accurate bass reproduction. Lastly, treVolo’s “Vivid” mode allows users to accentuate vocal melodies or lead instruments such as guitars, horns or other elements in multi-track recordings.”

Using aptX Bluetooth wireless technology, treVolo allows music to instantly pair handheld devices including iPhones, Android devices, tablets, or PCs.
