Edifier Hecate Aurora speaker launched: Retro-style transparent design, affordable price.
Edifier has launched the Hecate Aurora speaker, featuring a transparent acrylic design, Bluetooth 6.0 support, and a 14-effect RGB lighting strip, promising to be an ideal decorative accessory for gamers.
Edifier has officially launched the compact Hecate Aurora Light-Cooling desktop speaker in the Chinese market, targeting gamers and users who appreciate aesthetically pleasing workspace setups. Priced at 269 yuan (approximately 990,000 VND), the product has garnered attention for its combination of retro design and the latest wireless transmission technologies.
Minimalist design inspired by industrial style.
The Hecate Aurora boasts incredibly compact overall dimensions of 225 x 76 x 55 mm, allowing it to fit neatly beneath most modern computer monitors without taking up much space. The speaker's design language is inspired by the classic Braun Audio 300 turntable, giving it a look that is both industrial and retro.
The highlight of its appearance lies in the transparent acrylic front panel, revealing the internal components and lighting system, while the rear casing is made of sturdy metal. This combination of materials not only enhances aesthetics but also supports heat dissipation and durability.
Sound structure and 20W performance
Despite its modest size, Edifier has equipped the Hecate Aurora with a fairly powerful sound system. The speaker uses two 56mm cone drivers, combined with a racetrack-shaped passive radiator. This structure optimizes airflow in a confined space, producing deeper bass than typical mini speaker designs.
The system delivers a total maximum power output of 20W, covering a wide frequency range from 120Hz to 20kHz. According to the manufacturer, this configuration ensures clear mid-range and high frequencies, serving a variety of needs from action gaming to everyday music listening.
Pioneering Bluetooth 6.0 technology.
Notably, the Edifier Hecate Aurora is one of the first budget-friendly speakers to incorporate Bluetooth 6.0. This technology significantly improves wireless connection stability and minimizes audio latency – a crucial factor for gamers. In addition to wireless connectivity, the speaker retains a traditional AUX port for compatibility with older devices or desktop computers without Bluetooth.
In terms of battery life, the device has a 5,200 mAh battery. Actual usage time varies depending on the lighting mode:
- When RGB lighting is turned on:The music played continuously for about 5 hours.
- When RGB lights are off:Music played for up to 11 hours.
Users can charge and use the device simultaneously via the power port, and it takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery from a completely depleted state.
Customization options via mobile app.
The RGB lighting system on the speaker offers 14 different motion effects, allowing users to personalize their workspace to their liking. Users can adjust the lighting directly via physical buttons on the speaker body or through the Edifier app on their smartphone. This app provides additional advanced features such as: accurate battery level monitoring, customizable sound mode (EQ), and convenient timer settings for automatic shutdown.
