THE VENUS

 

 

 

 

 

The 455g heavy zinc alloy body of the Venus is indeed compact and measures 71.1mm in height, 60.1mm in length and 81mm in width.

 

 

It so happens that i have a Mars speaker here so i thought it would be great to see just how the Venus compares to it in terms of size.

 

 

As expected, the main feature of the Venus is its 1.75" (45mm) speaker.

 

 

The yellow button on top of the left side can be used to turn on/off the device and play/pause tracks whereas the button just over it is the volume decrease button.

 

 

Moving to the right side the yellow button can be used to pair the speaker with your phone and/or another Venus whereas the button just over it is the volume increase button (press the two volume buttons to change the color of the LEDs).

 

At the top center we see two activity LEDs (right next to the lighting and bluetooth drawings/icons) and a small handle.

 

 

Detail is quite impressive, too bad the Venus is a compact speaker (would look even better if it was the size of the Mars).

 

 

The three feet can be retracted inwards to further reduce the size of the Venus.

 

 

Moving at the rear we see the bass reflex port (the level of detail is still impressive).

 

 

The USB-C charging port is located at the center of the base as you can see from the above picture.

 

 

Of course, Gravastar send a second Venus over for a more complete experience.

 

 

Would be nice if the 6 RGB LEDs were addressable (thus each could have a different color) but regardless they look nice.
