NEWS – I have several Amazon Echo devices around my home, and none of them are as beautiful as this new Bluetooth- and WiFi-enabled Maverick speaker from Cavalier. I mention the Echo devices because the Maverick also has Alexa voice control built right in. These beautiful speakers are built of metal, leather, and wool fabrics for a sophisticated style that leaves most other Bluetooth speakers in their dust.
In addition to a pretty package, the Maverick speakers offer a full set of features. Specifications include:
- Built-in Amazon Alexa with Far-Field Voice Activation
- 20W stereo speaker system with 2 active drivers paired with 2 passive radiators
- Far-field microphones give users the ability to take calls without stopping the music and killing the vibe
- Built-in rechargeable battery with up to 9 hours of playtime
- WiFi for Alexa support and Streaming with Voice Control for TuneIn, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Pandora, SiriusXM, and Audible
- Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Audio Streaming
- Speakerphone with built-in echo noise cancellation
- Spotify Connect Integration allows direct control of music playback via Spotify app
- Cavalier Multi-Room Audio Support – multi-room audio support by linking several Mavericks together for a sound that feels like they are live in studio; set up a Cavalier speaker in additional rooms or in a right/left configuration in a single room for an immersive stereo sound experience
- Cavalier Setup and Control App (for iOS and Android)
- Programmable Smart Button changes default music controls to include playlist shortcuts for Spotify and iHeartRadio
- Premium leather charging base for a true home setting with included custom stitched USB-C charging cable
- Includes a canvas carrying case for on-the-road use and protection in style
- Custom USB-C certified charging cable
Cavalier included a rechargeable battery inside, so Maverick can also be used as a portable speaker. The speaker itself measures 2.96″ x 2.96″ x 8.79″; the base is 3.7″ x 3.7″ x 0.99″. The Maverick Alexa-enabled speaker is $299.99 from Cavalier Audio.
