121 decibels. That’s the maximum output of the Soundboks Mix — loud enough to fill a street party, yet tuned to stay distortion‑free.  

The figure matters because most portable speakers peak far lower, often sacrificing clarity once the volume climbs. 

121 dB portable sound makes Soundboks Mix louder than most speakers, with 40‑hour battery life and IP65 protection — giving event hosts clear, durable audio anywhere.


Here, the Mix is engineered to hold its tone even at full blast, using dual Class‑D amplifiers from Texas Instruments to drive a 10‑inch woofer and a 1.2‑inch dome tweeter.

Together, they cover a frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, meaning bass notes land with weight while vocals remain sharp.  

Battery life is another headline. At moderate volume, the Mix runs for up to 40 hours. Push it to maximum output and you’ll get around 8 hours before swapping batteries. 

That swap is deliberate: the system is built around removable packs, each recharging in about two hours. 

For anyone running events or long outdoor sessions, it means downtime is optional.

Durability is central to the design. The casing is reinforced ABS and polycarbonate, impact‑resistant and splashproof.

In practice, it’s a speaker you can drag through rain or sand without worrying about failure.  

Connectivity is straightforward. Bluetooth 4.2 handles wireless playback, while a 3.5 mm AUX input covers wired sources. 

More interesting is SKAA TeamUp, a proprietary wireless link that lets you connect up to five Soundboks speakers together. 

It’s not just pairing — it’s synchronization, turning a set of portables into a distributed sound system.  

The Mix weighs 9.7 kilograms, about 21 pounds, and measures 48 × 34 × 27 centimeters. It’s portable, but not ultralight. 

A carry handle is built in, and optional straps or backpack kits are available for easier transport. The grille is detachable steel, designed to be swapped or customized.  

Control extends beyond hardware. Through the Soundboks app, you can adjust EQ profiles, lock the speaker, assign stereo roles, and update firmware. 

That software layer is part of the pitch: a rugged physical product with a digital interface that evolves over time.  

Pricing is set at $799 for the speaker, with extra batteries at $199 each. 

A charger is sold separately for $59, a decision tied to EU directives on reducing e‑waste. 

Warranty runs two years, extendable to three if you register through the app. Returns are accepted within 45 days.  

The trade‑offs are clear. The Mix is heavier and more expensive than many consumer models, and the charger omission may frustrate buyers. 

But the numbers — 121 dB, 40 hours, IP65 — position it less as a casual Bluetooth speaker and more as a portable sound system.  

The final perspective is this: Soundboks is betting that portability doesn’t have to mean compromise. 

By pushing volume, endurance, and durability into professional territory, the Mix challenges the line between consumer audio and event gear. 

If it succeeds, the definition of a “portable speaker” may shift toward something far more ambitious.
