House of Marley Announces Get Together Duo Bluetooth 5 Speakers as a Greener Home Audio Alternative

April 21 2021, 00:45
House of Marley today announced the release of a seemingly unpretentious new bookshelf speaker design, an expansion of the brand’s popular Get Together line of Bluetooth 5 speakers. The brand created the new Get Together Duo as a greener alternative to home audio, combining a choice of distinctive materials while leveraging all the improvements in wireless audio design, showing how updated technology can make a difference.

The Get Together Duo are designed with the iconic look of House of Marley’s Get Together collection, using mindfully sourced materials including bamboo and the brand’s signature Rewind fabric, crafted from reclaimed organic cotton and hemp.

“Our conscious construction is unique not only to our materials but how we apply them to the product. We use materials for their sustainable properties and their aesthetic quality, but also for their acoustical, mechanical properties as well,” explains House of Marley Director of Product Development, Josh Poulsen. “The bamboo in the Get Together Duo provides a modern look that’s rooted in a highly renewable natural resource. Produced using a carbon positive process, bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood and a tensile strength that rivals steel. This allows the speakers to be more durable, while also enhancing the warm, rich sound.”

The Get Together Duo speaker pair features 20 hours of playtime from the right channel speaker with complete versatility to sync with mobile devices, televisions, laptops or wireless turntables while delivering powerful stereo sound. Each measuring 7.8” tall, 5” wide and 4” deep, the speakers offer a perfect fit from living rooms to home offices as compact, functional statement pieces that sound as good as they look. And users can even pair the Get Together Duo with House of Marley’s own Stir it Up Wireless turntable to complete the seamless, natural look of the bamboo collection.
 

Featuring 3.5” woofers and 1” tweeters in a 20 watts self-powered design manages to avoid being confused with other plastic-looking Bluetooth speakers in this overcrowded segment, appealing to consumers as a more standard home audio option. At the same time, the wireless connectivity between the two speakers - extended up to 10 meters - provides added functionality from a traditional bookshelf home audio setup. The left mains-powered speaker can remain on the shelf while the right battery powered speaker’s portability allows it to accompany users to the other side of the room, house, or even outdoors for an expansive listening experience.

Expanding this simple but clever and appealing wireless design, the Get Together Duo speakers stand-out for its connectivity options that include AUX and Phono inputs, and the fact that the speakers with built-in battery can be powered and charged with a standard USB-C adapter. For an affordable asking price of just $149.99 MAP, this Bluetooth 5.0 wireless design presents multiple options for the user, which can simply configure its system as a true stereo setup, wirelessly or via the analog RCA line inputs, while converting to a fully portable Bluetooth speaker solution that can be taken anywhere.

Since 2010, House of Marley has combined high-quality materials and innovative design to create state-of-the-art, eco-conscious audio products. Created in collaboration with the Marley family to carry on Bob Marley’s legacy of love for music and planet, House of Marley is dedicated to designing a greener alternative to all-plastic audio products by incorporating socially responsible materials including FSC certified wood, signature Rewind upcycled fabrics, Regrind recycled silicone, recycled plastic bottles, bamboo, and recyclable aluminum.
