MINIRIG 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

The speaker is not waterproof, so if that is important to you, I suggest checking out something like the JBL Flip. However, the provided cable does allow you to use the Minirig’s battery to charge your mobile devices. Even when pushed way past the comfortable listening point, the sound doesn't degrade as sharply as any of those units. The Minirig Mini is one of the smallest Bluetooth speakers we’ve ever tested: The diminutive speaker comes in at 84mm wide and 53mm tall and is built to withstand abuse.

The Mini is essentially a smaller version of the Minirigs 2, and they have kept almost all the good features from the bigger model and refined a couple of others. Among the available compact speakers for DJs and musical professionals, it’s hard to find a speaker like this that can check virtually every box.Its parent company, Pasce originally started as a group of engineering sub-contractors developing underwater robotics, sonar, high-voltage industrial equipment and audio tech, among other things.

If you don't want to waste battery on your phone or your device is not Bluetooth enabled, you can hook up the speaker via one of its two 3. Available for both Android and Apple devices, the app gives you a 5-band equalizer that you can experiment with. Other speakers I have tried seem to disintegrate at about 60-70% of the maximum volume, but the Mini remains composed right up to max even with the high gain mode on. It won’t completely protect the Minirig from heavy falls but it’ll keep scratches at bay while the Minirig itself is strong enough not to need any protection from being stood or sat on. The wiring connections mean that you can chain as many speakers as you like, without having to rely on Bluetooth.

In this MiniRig 3 portable review, we’re looking at one of the most compact Bluetooth speakers that the brand has to offer. Here, the 3-inch diaphragm can move more air and produce a way better sound and a much fuller and deeper bass response. Its big brother, the Minirig 3, is still king of small speakers with big bass, and the Mini doesn't go as deep, but for its size, it’s class-leading. This works so well with the Minirigs that people will be scratching their heads trying to work out if the sound really comes from that little cylinder in the corner.

However, whilst conducting the Minirigs Review, I have been getting consistently over 35+ hours of playback from the speaker.There’s also the added bonus of the wireless linking function, so you can run multiple MiniRig speakers at the same time. This keeps the speaker from sliding off a smooth surface and provides a little bump protection on the base. Loads of high-end stuff were set out for us to play about with; the usual headphones, amps, DACs, and DAPs littered the tables; it was a nerds paradise. Despite it being a mono speaker, there is no hint of compression, and instruments and vocals have a good amount of spacing.
