Boomboxes—outsized radios used for sidewalk entertainment—were popularized by hip-hop style, a phenomenon born in the African-American and Latino youth cultures of the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn in the early 1970s.The tweeters as many should know by now are real and work really well, I hear the highs pretty clearly so no complaint there from me. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.

As the battery is likely to have discharged during transport, you need to start with mains power, so plug the DC end into the rear of the Brooklyn, fix the plug into the mains socket and switch on at the wall.Looking to cash in on the nostalgia around the hardware design is GPO with the GPO Brooklyn Boombox. Make sure magnetic tape is would tightly on the spools inside the cassette before inserting it into the GPO Brooklyn. A fresh and innovative addition to the retail market, ProTelX (creators of the original GPO brand) was established in September 2009 with the aim of designing, developing and manufacturing high quality consumer retro products. Features FM radio, and cassette and CD players in a retro design with two 40-watt, Bluetooth-enabled speakers—so you can stream music from any wireless source, or digitally record your vintage cassettes.

The boombox was never known for having exceptional sound quality, and the GPO Brooklyn Boombox continues broadly in this tradition. Troubleshooting Steps - Remove the battery from the back of the unit and try to run it on mains power only. It may be hard to believe in our modern, mobile world, but there was once a time when taking your tunes with you on the go was quite the feat. First thank you for stopping by Steven, I have not come across variable gain pots ether while I looked inside, what been doing was using some sort of mixer to control the gain on the aux inputs and also when using bluetooth I would control the phone BT volume output. HUGE SOUND CONTROL: Use the Volume, Balance, Bass and Treble Controls and fill the room with the2 x 40 watt speakers for an optimal listening experience.For regular use, we recommend charging overnight like this and using your Brooklyn on battery during the day. There are loads of chrome-finished dials, buttons and switches on the front, each working and serving a real function, huge speaker grilles, a radio dial spectrum and twin antennae, with light-up green-to-red output monitoring lights. We had fun connecting some microphones to it and recording ourselves (remember recording the Top 40 on a Sunday night? There are non-functioning chrome button blanks in place of where the DAB/DAB+ info and menu buttons would have been, however they do add a nice touch to the overall style of the radio. Both sound and style is achieved with this piece and built-in 40 watt speakers showcase your music in the best way.
