French retro tech brand Rewind is releasing a boombox to sit alongside its excellent Walkman-style portable cassette player. In advance of its debut at the High End audio show in Munich, the company posted a video of the new GB-001 earlier this week—the GB apparently, and rather questionably, standing for “Ghetto Blaster” if the original, now deleted Instagram post is anything to go by. It's a single-deck device with clean lines that showcase two bright, backlit VU meters. There are four speakers onboard, with the company aiming for a neutral sound rather than an 1980s-style bass monster. The GB-001 will also function as a Bluetooth speaker and has battery power. —Martin Cizmar
