Featuring builtin speakers and a range of playback modes, the Boombox will allow you to enjoy Radio, CD, USB and Bluetooth sound anywhere inside or outside your home! So first impressions were that it weighed much more than i thought it would, i knew the battery was a modern type so i was surprised at that. I guess this is because todays electronics utilize more surface mount components and can fit allot more into single chip. Confirm that the battery has already been installed by opening the battery compartment cover on the rear of the unit. The control can be used to change the balance between the left and right speakers, with the change displayed on the LED display.

Straight out of the box the weight was a surprise, it's not heavy but it wasn't the lightweight that i expected.

With a look straight out of the ’80s plus a dash of modern technology, the GPO Brooklyn manages to step both directions in time.The tape mechanism uses a thin metal chassis with plastic gears (not uncommon) for rewind and fast forward.

Allowing a single chip to perform multiple tasks as opposed to electronics of yester year were a there many separate boards with larger components soldered to the circuit board. It was on par with my friends boombox though his did have a tad more volume and bass with wonderful highs. Not bad… Looking at the over all construction, I can see that allot of thought went into the design and build this budget retro styled bluetooth boombox. With all the input sources you can think of, and a fun design that’ll make it a talking point wherever it goes, all that’s lacking is a bit of bass oomph and mid-range clarity.The tweeters as many should know by now are real and work really well, I hear the highs pretty clearly so no complaint there from me. There are loads of chrome-finished dials, buttons and switches on the front, each working and serving a real function, huge speaker grilles, a radio dial spectrum and twin antennae, with light-up green-to-red output monitoring lights. Once the LED indicator shows blue, the unit is fully charged Once charged, the unit will wait in standby mode until switched on. As well as the tuning indicator belt that is meshed with the tuning knob gear which is attached to the tuning knob.

Charmingly bulky, there was no block party worth having in the 1980s and early 90s if there wasn’t a boombox present. just incase) With the exception of two connectors each one was a different size so it would have been easy to find out where they plug into. It plays CDs and cassettes (and can even record on cassettes), but also has USB ports and Bluetooth. There are non-functioning chrome button blanks in place of where the DAB/DAB+ info and menu buttons would have been, however they do add a nice touch to the overall style of the radio. underneath the main board is the board that houses the output level meters, CD/USB player controls and the tape counter.

A timed run against an mp3 of one of my favorite tracks was correct to the second so its seems consistent. Make sure magnetic tape is would tightly on the spools inside the cassette before inserting it into the GPO Brooklyn. If CD were mounted horizontally like in a computer then it would have required the unit to be deeper making it even larger than it already is. The GPO Brooklyn Boombox features an integrated rechargeable battery, which allows the unit to be used anywhere, providing you with music on the go. He loves gaming, but don't expect him to play with you unless your console is hooked up to a 4K HDR screen and a 7.
