Recharging the battery takes some 5-6 hours so remember to leave enough time to have the battery ready for your next party. Saving Battery Power At the bottom of the front on each end are two oblong recessed slots that look like bass ports but in fact, do nothing. They’re for looks only. The first thing that you should test is the sound. Test it outdoors or in a large room and take note of the quality. Adjust the bass, mids, highs, and pre-set equalizer according to the music genre. Listen to the sound of the bass if it emits a vibrant and booming sound with no skips. Crank up the volume and listen for distortion. No, is the answer. In keeping with the nostalgic design look, you’ve only got the controls on the speaker. There is no smartphone app to control the speaker. An improvement Aiwa could make to the front screen is to add a volume level indicator and a battery status indicator.Altogether Aiwa offers with the Exos-9 an exciting jukebox, which is suitable for various occasions and thanks to the integrated equalizer is perfectly adaptable to your own wishes.

RMS Wattage vs. Peak Power Equalizer – The Bluetooth speaker needs to have equalizer settings so you can customize it according to the music genre. You should be able to fine-tune them or use the pre-set options manually.

Along the top of the front is a panel. Between the Aiwa logo on the left and a large silver knob on the right is the LCD that shows the equalizer (EQ) band you’re using as well as information like battery life and if the speaker is charging. On the Top and Sides The Bluetooth connection works well with no connectivity problems or signals loss up to 50ft away provided there are no obstacles in the line of the signal.
