Overview
The Soundbar for your TV, a portable speaker on the go that can also turn in to your wireless music system. Soundots is all about doing a lot with a little. Thats why you can stack our speakers to fit any occasion. Thanks to Soundots Ai-2’s Artificial Intelligence the sound adapts to to be optimal in any configuration.

Why Soundots?

Soundots Ai-2 is a compact speaker capable of playing high-quality sound in true stereo with a clarity and a bass response like you’ve never heard before. That’s all well and good, but the true power of Soundots lies in its capability of stacking with others of its kind.

If that sounds confusing, think of it like this: you have three Soundots. You can use your three Soundots as three separate Bluetooth speakers. You can also stack those three Soundots together, vertically, horizontally, or both, and they will instantly start playing together. Suddenly you have a soundbar for your TV and a beefy sound system for your party next Saturday.

But how is this possible?, you ask with a confounded look upon your face.

It’s all done with the help of... c o m p u t e r s.

Yep, there’s a built-in artificial intelligence. We made it in-house in Sweden. We then named it aiFi and started rocking. Because that’s exactly what aiFi does. It makes sure that no matter how you stack your Soundots, the sound system optimizes the audio for you.

So, this is basically a game changer?

Yes. If you ask us, we truly think that this is the future for speakers and sound systems.

Woah! 360! Get that VR headset out and let's watch this thing! 

Alright, but just so I get it... Soundots is a portable speaker that stacks with other Soundots?

Yup!

So... How does it compare to other speakers?

Well, that depends! Luckily, we’ve done tests. Many, many tests. One lone Soundots can hold its own against any speaker of the same size. We recommend checking out some of our reviews which you can find below.

The real magic happens when you stack them together, and that’s the fun and much more interesting part. And, just so you know what we’re talking about here, the stacking capability is virtually endless. You could in theory stack 65 000 Soundots together and they would still work and perform, but you would probably have to get a bigger back yard...

Three Soundots is comparable to any trade of the mill soundbar at around $700-800, or a wireless HiFi speaker at around $700. The real difference with Soundots is that your sound system is portable, compact and comes with the capability to split up.

So, you get our point. The sky is the limit. If you have any further questions about this subject, we definitely encourage you to reach out. We’re more than happy to help tailor your dream system for you.

Quality to Expand

Let’s talk price though...

Look, we get it. You’ve seen speakers that cost a fraction of what we’re asking, but here’s the thing:

Quality is important. It really is. The Soundots that you purchase today are going to play for years and years, no matter if you stick to two, three or six for the rest of your life or if you decide to expand down the line.

It would have been easy for us to put our AI in a cheap speaker with bad components and call it a day, but we’re not interested in that. We’re in this for the long run, and that means taking risks.

Ultimately, we’ve spent the last years developing our own dream speaker, and our dream speaker is packed with high-quality components and technologies that serve the listener.

The Roots

Our founder Fredrik Gunnarsson is the visionary behind Soundots and his passion is to make great sound - and the experiences that goes with it - available to everyone.

Out of this passion, our journey began in Sweden in 2014 when we successfully developed and crowdfunded the first intelligent modular speaker. Now, we're making it even better.

If you backed us back in 2014, we hope that you'll be as excited as we are about the new features. If you are about to take your first step into the Soundots world - welcome aboard this vibrant journey!

Introducing Soundots Ai-2

The Ai-2 is the next step in the Soundots evolution. It follows in the footsteps of its predecessor - the stacking is still king - and while it performs above and beyond on its own, it is of course fully compatible with the Ai-1 (and our upcoming products!). With Soundots, buying a new speaker doesn't mean throwing your old one away. It's all about expanding on what you already have! 

Natural Colors

After figuring out how many Soundots Ai-2 you want, the next step is picking a color. Our award-winning design lean on natural materials and colors. We want your Soundots to look good in any environment. Soundots Ai-2 comes in the new color Matte Black, and of course we're not letting go of the tried and tested Industrial Gray.

 

Main Features and Improvements

  • Two USB-C connections allow for more efficient charging. This also opens up for a greater range of external connections! Connect to wifi, Alexa, Chromecast etc. with ease.
     
  • Fiber-armed plastic chassis for increased durability and sustainability. Feel comfortable carrying it in a backpack: it can take a punch! Soundots was made to be used. 
     
  • Improved locking-mechanism. We developed a new and improved magnetic system for locking your Soundots side-by-side to each other. 
     
  • A wider range of RGB lighting options makes the sound system come to life with expression. Let your system light up the party or shut the lights off for movie night!
     
  • Improved touch-panel, now located on top of the speaker for easy access. Everything can also be controlled via the Soundots app (available for iOS and Android).
     
  • Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 technology for even faster and more stable Bluetooth connectivity. 
     
  • A substantial update to the main processor with four times the capacity of that in the Ai-1.

     

Words From Our Reviewers.

We also encourage you to read about us over at these publications:

How Does Soundots Stack Up?

Below, you can read more about the power that you gain from stacking Soundots together. Note that the raw equivalent power expands exponentially as you stack more and more.

 

Technical Stuff

Interested in the details of one Soundots Ai-2? Awesome! We hope this tables will satisfy your curiosity regarding the inner workings of Soundots. If not, don't hesitate to contact us! We'll happily answer any questions you might have.

The Prototype

Soundots Ai-2 is currently under development. Below, you can catch a peak at the first prototype, spray-painted black so that we could at least get a feel for what the matte black is going to look like when it's blasting some tunes for us later this year.

Risks & Challenges

In 2015 we successfully ran and fulfilled an Indiegogo campaign. That's how we funded our first generation of Soundots (it was called AiFi at the time). We are familiar with the challenges and risks that come with a crowdfunding campaign and we are not starting from scratch. Ever since the launch of the Ai-1, we have been working on improving the Soundots formula, along with the associated hardware, applications and technology. Our team is made up of some of the brightest minds in the industry and we have confidence that we will deliver beyond your expectations.

However, we do ask for your understanding regarding the possibility of delays. It's not uncommon that something unforeseen happens that will compromise the quality of the final product unless carefully handled. We will not release the Ai-2 before we are absolutely happy with it.
