THE SOLEMATE MAX

The rubber coated Solemate Max is quite massive and so it measures 302mm in length, 102mm in width and 138mm in height while it weighs a total of 3kg.

To showcase just how large the SOLEMATE MAX really is we placed it right next to yet another "large" portable wireless speaker the TDK A33.

The playback controls (volume/skip backwards/skip forward/Play/Pause) and the answer/end calls button are placed at the top.

A large rubber strap is placed on the left side of the device allowing the owner to carry the device around with ease.

The DC power port is placed at the rear right lower corner.

Over at the right side we see the NFC zone, USB charging port (used to charge portable devices), microUSB port (PC connection), 3.5mm port, on/off/pairing switch and the battery and Bluetooth activity LEDs.

Aside the channel used to store the 3.5mm cable the rubber tracks at the base is where the unit (and the other Solemate speakers) got its name from.

To get the maximum possible volume from the Solemate Max you will need to use a direct connection via the 3.5mm cable.

Here we can see the Solemate Max without the front and rear grills (marketing material).
