New Orange-Box Stereo Bluetooth Speakers Now Available

From the team that brought you the most iconic guitar amps of the past 50 years comes the Orange Box and Orange Box-L. Powerful 50W compact Bluetooth speakers overflowing with rich, resonant tone, alongside Orange’s trademark dashing good looks and classic rock ’n roll personality. We were blown away by the big analogue sound of these Orange boxes and how easy it was to set-up. Now you can get that legendary English amp sound to play your music without the need for an instrument!

Both speakers are lightweight featuring the same rugged construction and cutting-edge speaker technology as its amplifier cousins, all condensed into a shoebox-sized package. The Orange Box is super portable and features a built-in rechargeable battery with more than 15 hours of battery life. Perfect for the kitchen countertop or take anywhere; the summer festival or the beach! While the Orange Box-L is slightly larger with a bigger sub for the living room or kitchen countertop, bringing studio-quality sound to your home.

Here’s what Orange is saying:

Considered construction

Precision-engineered cabinet design maximizes the efficiency of the Orange Box-L’s bass response, allowing its three custom-tuned Voice of the World speakers to project with authority and definition that belies its form.

Make the connection

The Orange Box-L’s Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows an instant and super-stable connection with high-quality audio and low-energy broadcasting. Alternatively, plug directly into the unit using the supplied ant-tangle aux cord. The unit’s Bluetooth button also doubles as a play/pause function: once connected, just tap the button to stop and start the audio, saving you from having to find your phone when you want to stop playback.

For the home and on the go

With a footprint of less than a sheet of A4 paper, the Orange Box will look neat and tidy on any surface in your home. But something this light and compact begs to be taken on a trip: attach the included vegan-leather carry strap, charge the 15-hour battery, and grab the Orange Box for your next camping trip, barbeque or outdoor party.

Crystal-clear audio

More than half a century of experience with amplifiers means that the wizards at Orange know how to make a box of any size sound impeccable, and they’ve pulled off the same trick with the Orange Box. Whatever you throw at it, from disco to thrash, pop to punk, the Orange Box will perform perfectly: its specially voiced subwoofer, balanced by the twin high-frequency tweeters and precision housing, ensures you get the most boom from your box without the muddy lack of definition that blights so many other Bluetooth speakers. Add in hugely responsive analogue EQ dials to tweak the sound to your room shape and taste, and you have the sort of audio quality you’d normally hear from speakers ten times the size and price.

Sound advice

With great power comes great responsibility, though, and that’s where the Orange Box’s audio limiter light comes in. The box continuously monitors the volume of the signal and flashes the audio limiter to let you know if the unit is being driven too hard, potentially damaging the speaker. As a unique audio-safety feature, its inclusion helps ensure that the Orange Box will stay in its prime for years.

Your right to repair

The Orange Box boasts the same rugged, road-ready construction standards as all Orange’s professional-level amplifiers, meaning that this is a piece of kit built to last. And to back this up, Orange pledges to make stock and replacement parts continuously available into the 2030s, with spare cables, straps, and rechargeable batteries on hand to ensure that your Orange Box becomes a sustainable investment in great-sounding audio for many years to come.
