A speaker that is like a "Volume" of a stereo has been born.The internal design was developed from scratch and button operation was eliminated, so that switching it on/off or volume adjustment can be intuitively done by just turning the knob. The design, which is like a metal-work object carved out from aluminum, is delicate and full of dignity.
VOL is not for sale but gift with purchase by KENT (B.A.T) in Asia Pacific Airport for one year.
