We already have portable speakers that only make sense when used indoors. What’s the point of labeling them as outdoor gadgets when we barely notice their output indoors? We want a gadget that when we choose to take outside, we shall be surrounded by powerful and big sound. Turtlebox plans to do just that. They packed a ruggedly shaped box that houses the world’s loudest Bluetooth speaker that you can use anywhere, anytime and anyway you like.
What features make the Turtlebox worth the buck?
First off, the unit is packed with an incredulously loud and super clear 50-watt amplifier. To top this off, there is an extremely efficient driver and speaker. This speaker will roar like nothing else you’ve heard. You will listen to all little tidbits of your music without any losses.
Then there is the frequency range. The innovators equipped an accommodating frequency range to the device so that all minute details are projected loudly and clearly. The loudness rating of this beast is a cool 120 decibels.
True L/R Stereo Pairing
The company says that you will be able to pair two Turtlebox speakers wirelessly for true stereo sound. Unlike other systems that offer pretend stereo, with Turtlebox, the channels are clearly distinct and loud.
It’s tough as a rock
Forgetting to mention that the Turtlebox will be waterproof, shockproof, dust-proof and powerfully durable would be denying it justice. It will take a beating, but keep playing, loud.
The housing
The Turtlebox is seriously housed for the unpredictable outdoors. It is neither heavy nor lightweight but it’s tough without being shapeless.
The box is built of stainless steel rendering it corrosion resistant in all types of environments whether salty or sandy. Its resistance to UV makes it hard to fade in the sun.
Size to weight ratio
There needs to be a balance between weight and size for sound to be delivered successfully. The Turtlebox weighs a mere 8 lbs.
The battery life
Turtlebox will feature a built-in 15,600 mAh battery that powers the loudest volume for almost 6 hours. If the volume is set at half, the power can last for more than 20 hours.
Bottom Line
There are so many portable speakers out there. Most of them are complicated and are certainly not made for the outdoors. Turtlebox looks like the perfect outdoor speaker. It is easy to use, and you will enjoy owning and carrying it around. As of this writing, Turtlebox is crowdfunding on Indiegogo.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
