Designer: We Are Rewind

RETRO LOOK, MODERN SOUND

The GB-001 is not just a cassette recorder that can compete with home cassette decks, but also delivers exceptional stereo sound with a full sound image thanks to separate left and right woofers and tweeters.

Whether you're listening to cassettes, using a wired connection, or streaming via Bluetooth, its four Hi-Fi speakers (two powerful woofers for extended bass reproduction and two soft-dome tweeters for clear vocals and highs) deliver an impressive total output of 104 watts. That's enough to compete with the best connected speakers on the market.

But performance is nothing without control. That's why we've integrated special features like dynamic power control to reduce distortion, sophisticated equalization for a natural "We Are Rewind" sound, and a spatial sound function for a wider, more immersive stereo experience.

RECORDING AND PLAYBACK IN PERFECTION

This boombox features a top-class cassette deck mechanism with a powerful, user-adjustable motor with integrated speed control.

For recording and playback, it supports both Type I and Type II (Chrome) cassettes with optimized bias. To ensure low-noise recording and the best possible frequency response, an active AC erase head is used.

Like some of its predecessors, this boombox is equipped with two backlit VU meters that allow you to control playback and recording volume.

Finally, it features a microphone input with adjustable volume for live recordings.

ALL EYEZ ON YOU

The GB-001 is a reinterpretation of the legendary 80s boombox with a sleek neo-retro design that truly stands out.

It is made from high-quality materials like brushed aluminum, combining durability with modern aesthetics. It features all the classic characteristics of boomboxes from that era, such as woofers, tweeters, cassette recorder, VU meters, and a folding handle, all in a rectangular design.

Beneath its retro look, this "2.0" boombox hides state-of-the-art technology with Bluetooth 5.4 and a rechargeable, replaceable battery.

PAIR AND PLAY

The GB-001 is not just a cassette recorder that can compete with home cassette decks, but also delivers exceptional stereo sound with a full frequency range thanks to separate woofers and tweeters for the left and right channels.

Whether you're listening to cassettes, using a wired connection, or streaming via Bluetooth, the four hi-fi speakers (two powerful woofers for extended bass reproduction and two soft-dome tweeters for clear vocals and highs) deliver an impressive total output of 104 watts. That's enough to compete with the best connected speakers on the market.

But power is nothing without control. That's why we've integrated special features like dynamic power control to reduce distortion, refined equalization for a natural "We Are Rewind" sound, and a spatialization function for a wider, more immersive stereo experience.
