One of the more curious sights we’ve just spotted at CES is this – a TDK boombox called Life On Record, complete with manbag style carry straps. It even goes up to 11. Read on for a selection of tasty hands-on photos.
According to TDK, Life on Record delivers “dynamic sound performance” with bold designs. The latter instantly grabbing us. Life on Record features a delicious looking piano black surface complete with touch-sensitive buttons. Look a little closer and you’ll see that the volume nob goes all the way up to 11, Spinal Tap fans. A gorgeous looking equaliser adds a slightly more modern touch to things.
Sound-wise the TDK Life on Record comes in three speaker and two speaker variants featuring a 6-inch subwoofer and six-inch coaxial drivers to cope with more delicate sounds.
Inputs for both versions include USB, 3.5mm and connections to an iPod, iPhone, smartphones and/or a USB flash drive. The musically minded can plug a guitar or microphone in to mix it up with other music sources.
Life on Record is due out towards the end of February 2011 for around $399 (£260).
