The BB-777: A Nostalgic Boombox with Modern Twist
The BB-777 is a boombox that takes us back to the days of vintage audio equipment, with a modern twist. It's a tribute to the legendary Sharp GF-777, a boombox that is now a collector's item. The BB-777 is a beautiful piece of gear, with a vintage silver finish and extensive physical controls. But it's not just a pretty face; it's packed with features that make it a versatile and functional boombox.
One of the most impressive features of the BB-777 is its sound quality. It has six speakers, including two Super Woofers with dedicated gain control, two coaxial speakers, and two horn tweeters. These speakers push out a total of 270W, so volume shouldn't be a concern. The speakers are also ported, which helps with bass response.
In addition to its sound quality, the BB-777 is also packed with features that make it a versatile boombox. It has dual cassette decks, a slot-loading CD player, an AM/FM/shortwave radio, USB audio playback, an aux input, and Bluetooth. It can even record directly to a USB drive from the tape decks, CD, or radio for digitizing and archiving.
One of the most interesting features of the BB-777 is its microphone inputs. It has two microphone inputs on the front, which are perfect for hosting a rap battle in the park or MCing a break dancing competition. It also has two built-in mics, which might come in handy if you just want to quickly record your kid saying something funny on cassette.
The BB-777 is also a portable boombox, with a handle for lugging it around and a shoulder strap for more comfortable carrying. It weighs in at a chunky 28 pounds, so it's not exactly light, but it's still manageable.
The BB-777 is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter for $649. After that, it will cost $1,049 at retail. It's a great investment for anyone who loves vintage audio equipment and wants to add a modern twist to it. The BB-777 is a boombox that is both functional and stylish, and it's a great way to relive the days of boombox nostalgia.
