The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
volume
1026.83 cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.
driver unit size
76.2 mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.

highest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
lowest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
audio output power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Audio output power is based on the number of speakers and their power in watts. High audio output power results in loud, clear sounds.
Has a passive radiator
✔Bose SoundLink Revolve
A passive radiator is a type of driver (speaker) that doesn't have a voice coil and a magnet. The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep bass tones.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
has a noise-canceling microphone
✖Bose SoundLink Revolve
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Signal-to-noise ratio is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal (meaningful information) to the level of background noise (unwanted signal), the bigger the less perceived noise.
Power
battery power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Battery life
12 hours
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
charge time
4 hours
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
