THE ROAR SR20A

The 1105g heavy ROAR is primarily made out of high quality aluminum and measures 202mm in length, 115mm in depth and 57mm in height. On the 2^nd picture you can see how the 3 drivers and 2 passive bass radiators are positioned inside the speaker (marketing material).

Creative has placed their logo at the front and although it's something I’ve been seeing for over 2 decades i still like it.

Here you can see how the size of the ROAR compares to those of the largest and smallest Bluetooth portable speakers we've ever tested (Jabra Solemate MAX - RockDoc Memory).

The rear top section of the ROAR is rubberized and located beneath it are the NFC spot, battery level indicator LEDs, recording indicator, Bluetooth/answer/end call button with activity LED, volume control buttons, ROAR button with its white LED and the power on/off button.

Just like with the AXX 200 model the rear of the ROAR is where all the fun is.

Here we see the DC in, 3.5mm aux audio input, USB charging port, microUSB host port, microSD card slot, microphone mute switch, record button, play/pause recording button, shuffle/repeat tracks switch, previous/next track buttons, link security mode switch, alarm/terrabass button and the ARM on/off switch (when armed you can use the alarm button to sound the siren).

The electrical requirements, serial number and country of manufacture are placed at the bottom.

Creative also sells a carry bag for the ROAR SR20/20A models.

The quality of the bag is quite good and makes it very easy to carry the speaker around although it doesn't really offer any kind of protection.
