Party Like It’s 1989 - We Are Rewind Curtis GB-001 Boombox

With the party season upon us and the phoenix-rise of the cassette tape (and mixtape) continuing with sales climbing over 400% in the last decade, We Are Rewind's Curtis GB-001 is now available.

Pitched as a "cassette player/recorder that rivals home speaker systems", the GB-001 promises "exceptional stereo sound with a full-spectrum stereo image, thanks to its separate left and right woofers and tweeters."

    
Where the classic 80s boombox could only handle cassettes, the GB-001 offers a wired aux connection and streaming via Bluetooth 5.4, giving you multiple options to utilise its four "Hi-Fi class loudspeakers" which are said to provide 104 Watts of total power output.

This modern jambox also boasts features such as a rechargeable battery, dynamic power control to reduce distortion, refined equalisation for a natural sound signature and a spatialisation function for a wider, more immersive stereo image.

Moreover, we're told that the We Are Rewind GB-001 also features a top-of-the-line cassette deck mechanism, complete with a powerful, user-adjustable motor that includes internal speed regulation.

Additionally, the Curtis portable cassette player/recorder supports both Type I and Type II (chrome) cassettes with optimised biasing. To ensure low-noise recording and the best possible frequency response, it uses an active AC erasing head.

Giving extra retro cred are the two backlit VU meters, which let you control playback and recording levels. The microphone input has an adjustable level for live recordings.

Priced at £379 | €449 | US$579 | A$770, the We Are Rewind Curtis GB-001 Boombox is on sale now.
