A Bluetooth amplifier that is BETTER than existing ones in the market!

Small, portable, and beautiful. It's not only an amplifier, but a gratifying home decor, or a device that allows you to use you speakers anywhere, including a lovely lawn under the sun. 

Many of the amplifiers in the current market need wired power supply, so they can't be away from cables and electrical outlets. Besides, they usually come with high price. In order to create enjoyable amplifiers that are accessible and user-friendly to all, we wanted to combine a small size, a stylish appearance, long-lasting built-in battery, bluetooth connectivity and high definition quality into our very creation. 




Bring your favorite speakers to life!

Bluetooth speakers and amplifiers are getting common nowadays. However, our favorite speakers of all time are the old ones we bought 20 years ago. We haven't used it for quite some time, but they have been the best company of ours for more than ten years. Eventually, we decided to make an amplifier that works with our old speakers so that they can be our loyal friends again.

    

REPOP is the smallest wooden portable amplifier with bluetooth function. 

With CSR Bluetooth 4.0 Chip, REPOP supports both APT-X and AAC, and gives you wonderful sound quality. What's even more, with exclusive Pure&Sound technique, it reduces much noise and distortion.

Connect any passive speaker with this exclusive multifunctional amplifier, and play music simply via bluetooth. It is compatible with all bluetooth devices: tablets, mobile phones and computers. The power of REPOP is 30W ( 15Wx2 ). With its solid stereo system, it can amplify 90% of the passive speakers on the market. 

Equipped with a 4000mAh built-in battery, REPOP lasts approximately 6~8 hours for a 50W / 8 ohm speaker.  It works well with 10W ~ 100W / 4~8 ohm loudspeakers.


REPOP works well with all music devices: DJ sets / TVs / video game consoles / CD, DVD, BD players.

REPOP can also be a bluetooth music receiver .

Handmade

Each and every REPOP is handmade. Wanting to break away from traditional design, we believe wooden products look good and harmonious in every kind of space, and it brings out a sense of warmth. So we choose to make REPOP with teak wood and handcraft skills. Jack, the craftsman with 35 years experience, used his special skills to do 45-degree embedding, and used an exclusive 8-step stacking technique to complete the box of REPOP. In addition, different from ordinary iron or wooden panels, the anodized aluminum back panel we use can dissipate heat more effectively and help the panel last longer. 

Teak


Unique in Southeast Asia, teak wood is denser and harder than general wood, with resistance to wear and tear. More importantly, teakwood naturally features lacquer and resin that has its own beauty, while protecting it from temperature changes, humidity, and other environmental factors. 

Specially, with extraordinary technique, we used residual teak wood and turned it into spliced solid wood which amazingly brought out diverse faces of beautiful wood grains. Reusing residual teak wood is also an environmentally-friendly way to produce products.

Circuit Design

We spent a lot of time prototyping, revising and testing. Having invested heavily into the development phase of REPOP, we need your help to get these superior sounding amplifier into pilot production.

Our goal is to craft well-designed, high-quality audio devices that are accessible to all. The MINFORT family's strong passion for designing and building authentic audio solutions for everyone is infinite.
