ESCAPE P6 – Where my worlds collide!
The brand new ESCAPE P6 is a bit of posh audio, squeezed into a small space and made to be taken outdoors. For me the best bit is that you can make stereo if you have a mate with one, as they can be hooked up as a stereo pair if you have two. The speaker tech inside sounds SO like automotive technology in size, environmental appropriateness and performance! I am keen to try one!
The last time we looked at a waterproof bluetooth speaker, was a while ago. https://www.adamrayner.net/kicker-kpw2-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speaker/ . PRESS RELEASE FOLLOWS

Sound quality
The amazing hi-fidelity performance created by the P6-BT is produced by its two individual 3-inch full-range drive units, combined with the integral 6-inch subwoofer. Utilising polypropylene (PP) cones with aluminium dust caps, linear flat spider, vented voice coil and a powerful optimised magnet structure, the four driver-array delivers detailed and accurate sound with a 360° omni-directional sound field. The subwoofer, which also features a polypropylene (PP) cone design, linear flat spider and vented voice coil combined with a custom-designed composite fibreglass reinforced basket and oversized magnet, faithfully delivers both powerful and deep bass reinforcement.
The entire system is driven by an extremely efficient 60 watt audiophile digital amplifier. Its sound is both tailored & user adjustable via the dedicated app, thanks to the on-board dual 24-bit DSP processors.

The integral powder-coated die-cast aluminium carry handle makes it easy to move its relative lightweight 7.5 Kg around a terrace throughout the day, whilst it’s IPX4 weather resistant rating allows for it to sit by the pool all day and continue working faultlessly, even were it to be splashed by enthusiastic swimmers or left out in the rain.

About Escape

The design brief was simple; to produce the best sounding and looking outdoor speaker while having the features that would make using the speaker as much of a pleasure as listening to it. The P9 was launched in 2018 in Belgium and France initially and now sells in Holland, Germany and the Czech Republic, as well as the UK. With over 200 retailers demonstrating the P9 already on their showrooms, the product is fast becoming an extraordinary success in Europe.
