10 things we hate about streaming music.........

1)Bad quality tunes. When we stream from our phone or computer we lose quality. We want the ability to play (high quality) at the highest bit rate

2)Dead batteries. Let's face it, most of us stream from our phones and it really sucks the juice.

3)Drop outs due to calls. Just cos' I'm on the phone doesn't mean my tunes are on hold!

4)Bluetooth connections. Let's face it, Bluetooth is 'AM' compared to WiFi ;-). I've walked behind a wall so I lose my connection? Huh? I'm trying to stream via Bluetooth at a party but it drops out sue to too many signals? Huh?

5)Lack of control. We want to be able to use our phone or computer but we don't want to HAVE to use them. And we certaqinly don't want them to be the powerhouse. How about being able to control our speakers .... from our speakers!

6)Flexibility. We want multiple USB's, Flash Drive storage, DLNA and Airplay compatible so that we can access our computers' music library remotely, HDMI to turn our dumb TV smart or add a projector, 2 AUX's, SD card. In short we want to be able to play any music, any way.

7)Save our phone data. Streaming really sucks the data and we've all forgotten to switch to home WiFi.

8)Being dictated to. We want open source software and we want to be able to browse the web, not be told what app we can play!

9)Boring. How long has it been since something really nailed it as a streaming solution? Let's face it, the current options don't work! The GUNN StreamTower is exciting in design, concept and looks, a joy to show your friends and fun to use.

10)No complicated software. Simply plug and play. Download the remote app from the App store and you are in business.

Never Fear! GUNN is Here.....

We began building the SX series out of frustration. Why weren't the other manufacturers getting it right? It was so obvious that their solutions don't work.

So we started with outcomes and worked backwards. And the answer is quite simple. Take an awesome new cabinet design and make sure it broadcasts truly world class sound quality. Add Android and WiFi. Come up with an ingenious remote app that's  never been done before...... and you've got yourself a StreamTower!

(It's a bit harder than that :-)

GUNN SX speakers have built-in WiFi and a touch-screen. Simply connect them wirelessly to your home router and stream your music from your favourite app or site.


The way it should be:

Style over function? Function over style? Sound quality above all? Many a head has been scratched over these weighty questions. Fortunately the GUNN SX smart speakers deliver. The best quality sound is broadcast from wooden cabinets. A pair of 100k speakers will be made from wood. It's dense yet porus to deliver thick, rich sound at low volumes and quality tunes at high volume due to the weight of the housing. 


The sound quality is on par with MUCH more expensive systems from the engineered, hand made wooden cabinets.

We believe in powered speakers so our amplifier is hidden away in the subwoofer and the clever touch screen recesses into the speaker housing on a specially designed bracket. So all you see is speakers; beautiful speakers. No trekky, techy knobs and flashing lights. Just sleek, streamlined audio heaven. The way it should be.

Connectivity – check!
Looks – check!
Concept – awesome!
But what do they sound like and how do they perform?

At GUNN Audio we've never been about small sound systems. We believe that the best sound is broadcast from well designed, heavy, quality built wooden housing. All GUNN systems are hand-made from wood and designed for maximum impact and sound quality. 

We also believe that multiple black boxes cluttering up our rooms is a thing of the past. Our speakers are powered, meaning that all you see (and communicate with) is the speakers themselves. No external amps, tuners, docks ... anything! 

The Speakers:

We decided to spend our time looking for existing speaker manufacturers to team up with rather than recreate the wheel. GUNN had agents all over the world looking for the best quality, best sounding speakers, for the best price. This took over 6 months and countless train trips, countless samples, countless rejections of those samples and countless sleepless nights. We found many bad speakers, we found a few good ones, but we wanted great, incredible, unbelievable. We wanted passion from our factory. A passion for sound. A passion for striving to be better and to offer more.

Eventually we found them! 

The GUNN SX smart speakers produce a sound quality on par with much, MUCH more expensive systems. In short, they sound bloody amazing.

Our high-end speaker manufacturer has been in the game for years. We set out to design the amazing StreamTower together. The GUNN operating system has been built into their existing speaker designs for the rest of the range, which has saved us a lot of time and money. We are passing these savings on to you.

The Technology:

Our engineers designed the GUNN system to be the best in the world. Our team has worked on some of the biggest projects for THE biggest companies. We are talking world leaders here. And they have built the best music streaming system available in the GUNN SX series. Our Android system and user interface to brings you an intuitive, reliable and beautiful operating system. 

So you can rest assured the GUNN SX range are excellent quality, ultra reliable speakers. The speaker drivers and cabinets have been tested and improved over time and the operating system is world class.

We're not into comparisons.

So we'll just tell you that we believe that this is the best value, most functional streaming solution available. Full stop.

The GUNN remote app:

This enables the user to control the speakers from any iOS and Apple device. Users can see and control the entire StreamTower system including the music stored in the Flash drive or via the USB port and any other dvics connected through the local WiFi. The user is seeing and controlling the StreamTower screen therefore system through a series of images bradcasting many times a second to the screen of the device.



And you can play any music you like, from any online source you like. Other WiFi speaker solutions only let you play what they want you to play, through their app.

Ummm, no thanks. Who wants to be dictated to when it comes to tunes? 

With the GUNN SX speakers you can browse the web via the touch screen and play any site you like.

Picture this ...

You've just come home from a long day in front of the computer. You want to put some music on and chill. The last thing you want to do is turn on another computer. But you are a streamer! With any other wireless option you need to turn on the computer, wait for it to load and then use that to control your sound system.

So you have to wait five minutes to control the speakers that are right in front of you?

Ummm, no thanks. Playing music shouldn't be this hard. That's why we use our phone for streaming most of the time.

What about my phone, you ask?

All you want to do is to play some music and cook dinner? You just need to connect your phone to your speakers, right? Forget docking, that ties up my phone. I'll use Bluetooth. Waiting for connectivity (twiddling thumbs). Okay connected!

Hold on, it's out of battery! Plug it in to charge. You might as well leave it plugged in as playing a wireless signal really sucks the juice.

The phone rings. Music drops out. Bummer, you didn't need the music to stop.

Hang up. Music starts.

But you need to go to the store downstairs for some milk. You'd better take your phone as you're expecting a call... so it disconnects from the speakers. Music stops. When you come back upstairs you'll have to connect it again. Great!

Your flatmate comes home. You are leaving, so you'll need to disconnect your phone before they can connect theirs.

It's then that you realise: you've been chewing up your phone data because you didn't connect to your home WiFi! Great again, now you're going to be charged excess on your phone plan.

Grrrr.

Having a party?:

Who wants to risk having a valuable laptop having a drink spilt on it. And do you want to spend all night worrying about where your phone is, or connecting/disconnecting between your friends?


So while it seems like a handy, streamlined approach, truth is external devices can be a pain. Try this ...

You come home from a long day and touch the screen of your awesome looking GUNN SX-4 Manta sound system. It lights up. It loves you! You love it back. Your friend is drawn to this awesome looking piece of art. This is surely the latest and greatest thing in audio!

Glistening like shiny, appy stars are Spotify, Pandora, Rdio and every other app in the galaxy. Excited and wanting to play, you touch your choice. Music begins playing immediately. 

Using the seven inch touch screen, you type in "RUN DMC". A good day for old skool! Their entire catalogue appears in 1024 x 600 goodness. Select Greatest Hits 1998. It's not tricky to rock around!

Your computer is off, your phone isn't being drained, you can take calls, pop to the shops and the GUNN SX-4 Manta smart speaker continues playing like a true legend, a faithful companion, a knowing ally.

A flick of the screen and the Flash eMMC storage appears with your fave collection. You've downloaded your songs directly into the speakers.

Oh, and the GUNN SX series can play your existing collection from your current devices via DLNA or Bluetooth. Or you could just transfer it into the Flash Drive.

Plus you can use your phone, computer or tablet to control them with the GUNN remote app.



The Perk:

There are five models in the SX range. We have chosen the SX-3 StreamTower for your perk because it's our favourite. You could wait for the other models to come out, but then you wouldn't be the first on the block to own one :-)

There are very few risks involved with the speakers themselves. These have been heavily tested in the market. The speakers and surrounding hardware are excellent.

The Android system is quite straightforward and any updates to the GUNN software will be a simple upgrade.

The beauty of the GUNN SX smart speaker project is that this is not untrialled, brand new technology. All components are existing and extensively tested. We have incredibly tight Quality Control so the only things that could go wrong with the units can be solved with an upgrade.

The Journey:

Over the course of the campaign we will be travelling to my factory in Guangzhou, China and then on to the CES in Las Vegas. It's going to be a wild ride, and I'll be updating this site regularly!

The Goal:

I am running an Indiegogo campaign to:
1. build awareness around the CES launch in Las Vegas;
2. cultivate a team of interested individuals:
3. take some pre-orders: and
4. to have FUN!

We are establishing GUNN Audio in the U.S. and Europe next year, with a target of over 100,000 units to be sold.

Want in? We are looking for marketing professionals, distributors, advisors and everyone (who's genuinely awesome and interested) in between.

Email: sales@gunnaudio.com, and say hi :-)

FAQ:

1) Will you offer synchronised streaming?

Yes, we are working on that technology and it will be available in 2014. The system we are working on is to use one GUNN SX unit to be a 'lead unit' for other GUNN SX systems. This, again, eliminates the need for an external device. It will be a simple upgrade to the existing systems. 

2) Will we introduce Airplay into our speakers?Our speakers have DLNA. There are many apps that will convert Airplay to DLNA. Apple licensing is expensive and we aim to keep our prices down and our quality up....... but we will include it if the dema
