Subtleties such as the breaths Grimes takes before particular lines, the natural sibilance of her words, or the hints of modulation throughout the track, are revealed.

Playing Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus In The Underworld, the trills towards the end of the score – contrasted against quieter, smoother notes – sound restrained, rather than leaping up to propel the song towards its exciting climax. Minirig claims you’ll get approximately ten hours of battery life from the speaker before it needs charging again, with a full charge taking two to three hours. All this works relatively well, and although the app isn’t quite as stylish as some of those from rival companies, it is very straightforward.They have an unnaturally coarse cutting edge to them, which leaves you recoiling a little at each draw of the violin’s bow. The low beats are balanced well against the rest of the frequency range, though; playing Radiohead’s The National Anthem, the squeals and parping brass ensemble that takes control in the middle of the song are matched judiciously against the low-pitched bass guitar and Thom Yorke’s ghostly vocals. Its parent company, Pasce originally started as a group of engineering sub-contractors developing underwater robotics, sonar, high-voltage industrial equipment and audio tech, among other things.

There’s also a fair amount of punch in the bass, which means the deep, weighty, booms that kick the song into action are given their due – thumping their way into our medium-sized testing room with gusto. Using the latest technology and high quality design we bring to you the MINIRIG 3 bluetooth rechargeable speaker.The Minirig Mini is an interesting proposition: the stark design will be appreciated by some, its small stature will be attractive to the space-conscious, and the sound is solid. At the beginning of the song, her lyrics are front and centre, but when they take a backseat, becoming echoey and open, the Mini conveys the change well. The app lets you pair it to another Minirig speaker (in stereo or mono configurations), as well as managing playback and giving you access to a mute button. Enjoying music with friends is something we try and encourage, so why not linkup and make the gathering into a PARTY!
